The excerpt, filmed by De Riso with his 9.5 mm camera, documents the historic Piè Tofana – Duca d’Aosta single-seat chairlift (operational from 1952) in the Tofane area of Cortina d’Ampezzo. The cameraman captures the ascent through a dense conifer forest, passing chairlifts, and includes a point-of-view shot of his own foot. At the top, Teresa De Riso relaxes on a deckchair outside the Rifugio Duca d’Aosta (2,098 m), while the imposing Tofane di Mezzo dominate the panorama. The clip, dating from the 1950s–60s, provides a glimpse of early winter tourism and the modernization of Alpine lift systems.
