ABOUT
Casa Editrice Tabacco has been producing geographical maps since the post-war period and the brand is recognized internationally as the epitome of accuracy and safety for extreme climbers, mountaineers, trekkers, hikers and daytrippers.
The production of 1:25,000 scale maps focuses on the eastern Alpine area: from Mount Adamello and Lake Garda in the west to Slovenia in the east and part of Austria to the north. The mapping therefore includes all of the Dolomites, designated a UNESCO “World Heritage Site”. Production also includes road maps and special maps.
Under official agreements, most public rescue services (e.g. Civil Protection, 112 emergency services, Mountain Rescue Service, etc) use our maps in the performance of their duties.
