La Thuile ‘“ Piccolo San Bernardo, map No. 2, in a series of detailed, GPS compatible hiking maps of the Italian Alps from L’Escursionista Editore, highlighting hiking routes including the Via Ferrata climbing paths, campsites, refuges, shelters, etc. Coverage starts just south of Courmayeur and extends along the French border from north of the Col de la Seigne and across the Col du Petit Saint-Bernard, to Valgrisenche. A separate booklet provides descriptions of three hiking trails: a 3-day tour around the local lakes from La Thuile to Col du Peitit Saint-Bernard and the Deffeyes refuge; a 3-day trek across the local valleys; a 3-day ‘Trekking in Solitude” route, indicating the degree of difficulty, average hiking time and ascent/descent.

Cartography and the overprint are the same, but the accompanying booklet contains only colour photos.Maps in this L’Escursionista Editore series have clear, easy to read cartography based on the Italian topographic survey with contours at 25m intervals, enhanced by relief shading, graphic relief and colouring for glaciers and woodlands. They show numerous spot heights and names of peaks, ridges, glaciers, valleys, etc, with boundaries of national parks or other protected areas prominently marked. The overprint highlighting waymarked hiking trails gives their names and/or official numbers and indicates difficult passages and Via Ferrata climbing paths. The maps also show climbing sites and highlight locations of organized campsites, mountain refuges, bivouac places, hotels and inns/restaurants. Other information includes local unmarked tracks and footpaths, detailed classification of the road network according to widths and surface, roads closed to motorized traffic, railways and mountain transports (cable car lines, chair lifts, etc), car parks, etc. The maps have a 1-km UTM grid, plus latitude and longitude lines at intervals of 5’.
