Alpi Carniche - Carnia Centrale area in a series of Tabacco maps at 1:25,000 covering the Dolomites and the mountains of north-eastern Italy - Stanfords’ most popular coverage for this region, with excellent cartography and extensive overprint for hiking routes and other recreational activities, local bus stops, etc. Additional overprint in this title shows ski routes.
Maps in the Tabacco 25K series have contours at 25m intervals, shading and graphic relief to provide a vivid picture of the topography. An overprint highlights local footpaths as well as long-distance trails including all the Alte Vie (the Dolomites high level routes), indicating the degree of difficulty, the state of waymarking, and the "via ferrata" sections. Most titles now also highlight cycling routes and mountain bike trails; some also include ski routes. Six different types of accommodation are marked, from isolated hotels and inns to campsites and refuges, local bus stops, cable car lines and chair lifts, plus places of interest and sport facilities. Unless indicated to the contrary in the individual description, the maps have a 1km UTM grid and the map legend includes English.
Tabacco hiking and cycling maps are undoubtedly the best maps of Italy of their kind. They’re printed on top-quality paper and are extremely detailed. A rich palette of colours is used to clearly indicate the transitions to different kinds of vegetation and woodland. A combination of contour lines and relief shading is used to impart a strong three-dimensionality. Footpaths are colour-coded to indicate the degree of difficulty. Extra information, such as the skills required for a particular route, the presence (or absence) of signposting, route numbers, mountain huts and even small hotels, make this the ideal map for planning and executing hikes in this region.
