An overprint highlights local hiking paths, indicating difficult sections, long-distance routes such as the GTA (Grande Traversata delle Alpi), Tour Monte Rosa, etc. Also marked are ski routes showing hazardous sections. The maps also indicate locations of various types of alpine accommodation: refuges, shelters, hostels, campsites, etc. Cable car lines and chair lifts are marked, and for road users local roads with restricted entry are indicated. Each map covers approximately 22 x 25 km /13 x 15 miles. All the maps have a 2-km UTM grid. Map legend includes English.
