This sequence, filmed in March 1953 by mountaineer and amateur filmmaker Mario Fantin, shows Rifugio Capanna Tondi, located at 2,340 meters in the Cristallo massif in Cortina d’Ampezzo. The opening shots depict the refuge with its sign clearly visible and people outside arranging chairs and enjoying the view. Most of the footage focuses on skiers descending the snow-covered slopes in wide turns, dressed in typical period clothing, alternating with moments of relaxation on the refuge terrace, where people sunbathe on deck chairs, and close-ups capturing details of a table with food and drinks.
