Published around 1939, its Istituto Geografico Militare contour base is overprinted with red downhill routes, flagged starting points and blue-shaded ski grounds. The blue access road winds through hairpin bends towards San Martino di Castrozza, with the opposite approach coming from Predazzo through Paneveggio. Labelled photographic panoramas around all four sides identify Castellazzo, Cimon della Pala, Vezzana and Colbricon, allowing skiers to recognise the mountains as both mapped terrain and a skyline. No lift is plotted, despite the standard legend including slittovie—now-obsolete cable-hauled passenger sledges—aerial cableways and installations under construction. The design therefore performs the two jobs of a modern piste map—practical route planning and intuitive reading of mountain terrain—but keeps them separate. Produced as Heinrich C. Berann’s pioneering oblique winter panoramas were emerging, it is a fascinating transitional or “proto-modern” piste map: a precursor in design to the familiar all-in-one panoramic form, though contemporary with its earliest examples. Retained with its original illustrated guide folder, this is a striking record of winter motoring and route-based skiing beneath the Pale di San Martino.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54231581065563,"sku":"P-6-112493","price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112493a.jpg?v=1790884692"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/collections\/predazzo.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
