A Gebirgsjäger soldier posing with his ski. He is wearing a whistle lanyard in his pocket and a darkened lenses goggle associated with snow/ice goggles. They were a standard for the Italian Alpine corps and for the Swiss army till the end of last century. Someone may have brought them down there too, but although robust, they were not good with sand because they easily got scratched as the lenses were celluloid and later soft plastic.
