The photo is mainly about the northern slopes of the Lagorai group. The valley north of the group is the Val di Fiemme - this is perhaps the reason why on this site the Lagorai has/have taken on the phantasy name of "Fleimstaler Alpen". I write has/have because in Italy the correct name is at least established, but we have another long-standing dispute: whether "Lagorai" should be considered singular or plural!!!
As one can see, the terrain is extremely apt to the practice of ski-touring. The Colbricon is the NE-most summit of the chain, which after it sinks down to Passo Rolle. The Colbricon Piccolo is an isolated, lower summit "perched" in its north flank in a way that is best appreciated in the linked Marmolada-pano N.13901. The starting point for both ski ascents is Paneveggio, which is sensibly less exposed to the crowds of mass tourism than the nearby San Martino di Castrozza. However, as one can see, in a clear spring day it is impossible to be alone even here!

Arne: yes, after several trials, for the cut I have opted for this one over Passo Costalunga (Karerpass), such to tear apart Latemar and Catinaccio. This gives a long Dolomitic lead-in at the beginning and a short Dolomitic lead-out, like an echo, at the end. But this, in turn, causes the disadvantage of having the skis right in the middle! (It was my fault, to park the skis without regard to the future pano...) However, I thought that in an image that has to be scrolled rather than to be viewed as a whole this can be considered a somewhat minor problem. As you say, an ideal solution seems to lack, but knowing this, one does not break his mind looking after it!
