Friday lady – Name that Place (4)

• 

You proved to be great location puzzlers once again, after last week’s Name that Place puzzle (click here) was cracked as Via Lattea in the skiing resort of Sestriere, Italy. Reader Gianni brought it to the next level: “The senator Giovanni Agnelli and his son Edoardo had the idea (and the money!) of building a skiing resort. The place and the surroundings were ideal: a highland encircled by mountains and situated near Torino. The Agnelli company constructed four cable cars and the two famous towers: the “Duchi d’Aosta hotel” (white tower) and “La Torre” (red tower). You can still see the two towers which are both owned by the Club Med.”

This week’s wintery treat may be not quite so easy, though. But for an atmospheric photograph it has to score 10 out of 10. What a grand period shot! We see not one but two Tatra 603s in all their glory and not one but two Friday Ladies (and a bloke who helps one of them on her skis, okay). The Tatras are of course a great giveaway to the location, but then Czechoslovakia is a big country. So… who recognizes this beautiful backdrop. And who manages to tell us a bit more about it?
