In 1968, a group of friends were at Passo Paradiso, in the Tonale ski area. The camera follows the group as they walk across wide expanses of snow, some carrying sledges or small loads. Some slide down the snow using a bobsleigh, while others observe the alpine landscape from above. The footage shows vast snowy peaks, ski slopes, huts, and human figures immersed in the white snow, documenting the vastness and majesty of the alpine environment. The clip also documents a key moment for the Presena area: in 1969, summer skiing began on the Presena Glacier, as suggested by the subjects in light clothing, and the Paradiso Slope, inaugurated a few years earlier, was already a reference point for athletes. In the 1960s, companies like Sinval and S.I.T. were developing ski lifts and accommodation facilities, transforming the Tonale Pass into a modern ski resort.
