Multiple Drone Video of the Week Winner denisbarbas used the new DJI Mini 3 Pro to create thsi stunning piece from the Dolomite Mountains in northeastern Italy.  The footage is amazingly high-quality, desmonstrating the power of this extremely small quad: it weighs less than 249 g, exempting it from drone regulations in many jurisdictions.   Travel along with this very skilled content creator to explore some of the most beautiful alpine scenery in Europe.  The Dolomite Mountains are part of the Southern Limestone Alps range.     

Top contributor and pilot Bashir Abu Shakra recovered his lost drone and put it to good use creating this stunning 4k video of the Dolomites, a sub-chain of the Alps which runs across several provinces of northeastern Italy.  Shot in the South Tyrol (Suditrol) province in the winter, the video features breathtaking shots of alpine villages and the highly distinctive jagged tops of the Dolomite Mountains.  These mountains form part of the Eastern Alps range, which extends into Slovenia to the east.

Italy's Dolomite Mountains are stunning in their natural beauty, and their jagged peaks make them among the world's most distinctive looking.  One of the most remarkable aspects of the history of these mountains is that they were the scene of heavy fighting in World War I.  Artillery duels between Austro-Hungarian and Italian forces in these passes were commonplace during the conflict, which ran for three years and resulted in hundreds of thousands of fatalities and over a million total casualties.

The Dolomites are a small mountain range within the Alps of northern Italy, covering parts of three provinces in the Trentino-Alto-Adigio and Veneto regions. With 18 peaks over 3k meters above sea level (around 10k ft.), they features some of the most beautiful mountains landscapes of any altitude, anywhere in the world. The vertical walls, sheer cliffs, and high density of narrow, and deep valleys, that are scattered throughout the Dolomites, can be seen in this DVOW nominated film by pilot davidxtravel. 

The Dolomites aren't the tallest mountains in Europe, but they are definitely amongst the most majestic.  Spread across several provinces of northeastern Italy, the Dolomites are part of the Northern Limestone Alps.  In this drone video by Dream to Fly, you'll get an aerial tour of these magnificent mountains, whose peaks range up to almost 11k ft. above sea level (around 3.4k m).  At about the 2:00 mark, there's an amazing shot of the Three Peaks of Lavaredo (Tre Cime di Lavaredo or Drei Zinnen).  

While Italy's Dolomites are far from the tallest mountains of Europe, they are no doubt amongst the most beautiful.  Part of the Southern Limestone Alps, the Dolomites are known for their sharp ridges and extreme prominence.   With altitudes up to about 11k ft. above sea level (around 3.3k meters), the Dolomites run across several provinces of northern Italy, most notably the provinces of South Tyrol and Belluno.  Check out the magnificent Dolomites in this spectacular piece by Dronescapes by Atellani.   

Although the majestic Dolomites are loved for activities they host such as hiking, cycling, skiing, mountain climbing, and BASE jumping, this UNESCO declared World Heritage Site mountain range in the northeastern Italy is breathtakingly beautiful on its own merits as well.  Drone videographer Marco Cantieni created this ethereal bird-eye view of this gem of the Alps, adorned with morning mist.  The Dolomite range is considered a sub-range of the Alps system, and extends into Slovenia.  

Top content creator and drone pilot Ryan Shirley experienced pure awe and wonderment when he hiked through the Dolomite Mountains of northeastern Italy, which form part of the Alps Mountains system.  The overwhelming power of the mountain peaks comes across in his intensely edited aerial reel that features shots from Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Seceda, Sassolungo, and Lago di Braies. This video was chosen as a Finalist in the Nature and Landscape category in the second annual Drone Video Awards.

Multiple Drone Video of the Week Winner Nico Lehr brings us this magnificent aerial video from the Dolomite Mountains in northeastern Italy, which are part of the Southern Limestone Alps.  The video was filmed with a DJI Mini 3 Pro drone, with supplemental ground footage from a  Sony Alpha 7 II camera.  While the Dolomites aren't the tallest mountains in the Alps system (their highest peaks are around 11k ft. above sea level or around 3.3k m), the chain is home to some of the most spectacular looking alpine scenery in Europe.  

Located in the hills of southern Trentino (the southern half of the Trentino-Alto-Adige region of northern Italy), Castle Beseno dates back to the 16th century. Used as a fortress and re-shaped to protect its inhabitants against firearms, it sits overlooking the Adige Valley. Thanks to this high-definition drone footage by Dronescapes by Atellani (using an Inspire2 and ZenmuseX7), we are all able to appreciate the massive and impressive fortress that stands strong hundreds of years after it was originally built. 

Stelvio Pass isn't the highest mountain pass in the Alps but it is, by all accounts, one of the best drives not just in the Alps but in the world.  It connects the province of Sondrio (part of the Lombardy region) with that of South Tyrol (part of the Trentino-Alto-Adigio region).  Running parallel to the Swiss border, it reaches a height of about 2.75k meters (just over 9k ft.)making it the second highest paved pass in the Alps.  The magnificent roadway is shown from above in this drone video by Dronescapes by Atellani.  

The Dolomites are one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in all of Europe. With spectacular views like the ones you see in this incredible drone video by Italian pilot Dronescapes by Atellani you can see why. The video specifically features two locations, Passo Sella and Passo Gardena. The Sella Pass is located between the provinces of Trentino and South Tyrol and Canazei in the Fascia Valley in Trentino. The Gardena Pass is also in South Tyrol (northeast Italy) and has an elevation of 2,136 meters (7,008 feet).

Contributor mavic pro created this excellent aerial view of a well-known group of mountains in northeastern Italy.  It's called the Geisler Group, and it's part of the Dolomite Mountain range which is spread across the Trentino-Aldo-Adigio and Veneto regions of the country.  The largest member of the Geisler Group is Sass Rigais, which has a peak elevation of just over 3k meters (around 10k ft.).  The mountains of the group all lie within South Tyrol, one of the main provinces of the Trentino-Alto-Adigio region.

Check out this fantastic first person view (FPV) drone mountain surfing video from Italy's Dolomite Mountains, compliments of top AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot b1z1o_fpv.  The video employs some very creative "setup" shots with a gimbal-stabilized drone; these shots help to convey the immensity of these peaks, which fom part of the Southern Limestone Alps.  This video, which includes an epic ridge dive starting at about the 1:00 mark, was picked by the AirVuz editorial staff for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in February, 2023.  

70daysaroundtheworld created this video memory of an epic eight hour hike into the Alps Mountains right on the Austro-Italian border.  It's the area around Timmelsjoch, which is a mountain pass that connects the Ötztal Valley in the Austrian state of Tyrol with the Passeier Valley in the Italian province of South Tyrol.  The mountains here are known as the Ötztal Alps, which is a subchain of the Central Eastern Alps.  The pass has an elevation of just under 2.5k meters or just over 8.1k ft.  

Top AirVuz contributor Kpax was picked as a Drone Video of the Week Finalist for this excellent video from the Dolomite Mountains in northeastern Italy.  The video was shot over the Rosengarten massif, which lies between the Tierser Tal and Eggental valleys in South Tyrol, one of the provinces of the Trentino Alto Adige region.  Distinguished by its pink shade, the massif reaches a peak altitude of about 9.85 ft. above sea level, or around 3k m.  The Dolomites are part of the Southern Limestone Alps chain.  

Visitors to the South Tyrol province of northern Italy are sometimes confused by the German-sounding names which are almost ubiquitous here.  The reason for that is that the area was part of Austria (actually, the Austro-Hungarian Empire) until the defeat of the Central Powers in World War I.  As a reward for joining the Allied cause, Italy was granted control of the province as part of the peace settlement.  Check out this stunningly beautiful region from above in this drone video by johannesbloechl.  

The three Northern Italian peaks you'll see here in this drone video by haussmannvisuals are variously known as Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Drei Zinnen, or the Three Merlons.  Under any name, they are amongst the most well-recognized mountain peaks in the entire Alps Mountains system.  Situated on the border between the South Tyrol province of Trentino-Alto-Adigio and the Belluno province of the Veneto region, the middle mountain of the massif has a peak altitude of 3k meters or 9.8k ft. above sea level.

The commune of Avio in northern Italy is home to one of the region's most well-known medieval castles.  Seen in this drone video by Alberto Ardit, the Castle of Avio is situated  in Trentino, the southernmost of the two provinces that make up the Trentino-Alto-Adigio region of Italy.  First mentioned in a document in the 11th century, the castle is distinguished by its three lines of walls and five tours.  It is situated in a strategic position in the valley of the Adige River, Italy's second-longest waterway.

For a first upload to AirVuz, brand-new contributor Aldo Colaianni brings us this stunning drone video from the Dolomite Mountains in northeastern Italy.  The video opens with a shot of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Drei Zinnen) massif which lies on the border between the provinces of South Tyrol (part of the Trentino-Alto-Adigio region) and Belluno (part of the neighboring region of Veneto).  Filmed with a DJI Mini 3 Pro, the video will also take you over other famous spots in the Dolomites such the pristine Lake Braes (Pragser Wildsee).  

Italy's Trentino-Alto Adige region consists of two distinct provinces: South Tyrol and Trentino; confusingly, the former is the northern of the two.  Together, they represent the southern half of the historical region known as Tyrol, which was territory of Austro-Hungaria prior to World War I but only the northern part of which is part of modern-day Austria.  In this magnificent drone video by electricife, you'll get an aerial tour of an area where the two "halves: of Trentino-Alto Adige meet: the adjacent Sella and Gardena Passes.   

Historically, the mountain passes of Italy's northern Trentino province represented invasion paths into the great Po River Valley.  Due to their strategic importance, castles and fortresses were built to cover many of these passes.  In this drone video by Drisma, you'll be treated to aerial views of the following Trentino castles: Drena Castle, Besenello Castle, Madruzzo Castle, Thun Castle, the Castle of Avio, Tenno Castle, Pergine Castle, San Giovanni Castle, Cles Castle, Valér Castle, Belasi Castle, and Stenico Castle.

Top AirVuz contributor Skyview DroneTec brings us this highly cinematic first person view (FPV) drone video from the Dolomite Mountains of northeastern Italy.  The video features some epic mountain surfing shots skimming along the tops of the Dolomites' distinctive rocky ridges, as well as shots from some of its famous verdant valleys and alpine lakes.  You'll even skim over the top of a mountain dam.  This video was picked by the AirVuz editorial staff for inclusion in the FPV Pilots to Watch list in January of 2024.  

AirVuz contributor nicomazz brought a DJI Mavic Air 2 along for a three day/two night trip into the mountains of northern Italy, bringing back footage to make this incredible video record of the journey.  Following the Alta Via del Granito route beginning at the village of Malga Sorgazza, they scale the Cima d'Asta, the highest peak in the Fiemme Mountains, which form part of the Southern Limestone Alps in the Trentino-Alto-Adigio Region.  The Cima d'Asta has a peak elevation of about 2.85k meters above sea level or around 9.35k ft.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Winner Richard Beresford Harris brings us this stunning done view of a pass in the Dolomite Mountains of northern Italy.  It's called Rolle Pass (Passo Rolle), and it connects the  Fiemme and Primiero Valleys.  The pass runs at an altitude of about 6.5k ft. above sea level (just under 1.9k m).  The road which runs over the pass was built in the mid-19th century, when the region was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (it came under Italian control following the defeat of the Central Powers in World War I).  

Check out these spectacular drone views of a castle town in northern Italy, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot.  Using a DJI Mavic Pro drone, he filmed the area around the town of Arco in the province of Trentino, part of the Trentino-Alto-Adigio Region.  The "star" of the show is the hilltop Arco Castle, which sits atop a rock spur overlooking the town and the surrounding Sarca Valley.  Dating to around the 10th century AD, the castle was abandoned during the Wars of the Spanish Succession in the early 18th century.   

AirVuz contributor Gabriele Gatti put together this excellent aerial highlight reel showing some of his favorite peaks of Italy's Dolomite Mountains.  First up is Mt. Seceda, which rises to a peak elevation of just over 2.5k meters above sea level (around 8.265k ft.).  Then it's on to the somewhat taller Mt. Sassolungo, followed by Mt. Marmolada, the highest Dolomite, which rises 3.35k meters (a bit over 10.4k ft.).  The last stop is the Sella group, which lies just north of Marmolada and whose highest peak is just a bit lower.  

In this video, AirVuz contributor ClearSky brings us some excellent aerial videos from the Dolomite Mountains in northern Italy.  The video features the following locations: Sasso Pordoi, Monte Christallo, Cima Cadin, and Lagazuoi in the Belluno province of the Veneto region; Geisler Alm, Seceda, and Langkofel in the South Tyrol province of the Trentino-Alto-Adigio region; Valporola in Belluno; and Lago di Braies back in South Tyrol.  Known for their sharp peaks, the Dolomites are part of the Northern Limestone Alps.  

See the famous Val Gardena valley in the Dolomite Mountains of northern Italy in this drone video by top AirVuz contributor and pilot Kpax. Located in the South Tyrol Province of the Trentino-Alto-Adigio region, the valley is known as a hot spot for mountain sports of all stripes.  The piece includes some nice shots of Marmolada, which overlooks the valley and is the highest mountain in the Dolomites with a peak elevation of just under 11k ft. above sea level (around 3.35k m).   The video was filmed with a DJI Mini 3 Pro drone.  

Check out these fantastic drone videos from northern Italy, compliments of top AirVuz contributor and pilot Mauro Sciambi.  The video was shot in Trentino, the southernmost of the two provinces of the Trentino-Alto-Adigio Region.  The area filmed is just to the northeast of Lake Garda, in the Adige River Valley just south of the Dolomite Mountains.  Among the video's highlights are some stunning shots of the hilltop Besenello Castle, one of the largest fortifications of the Italian Alps region.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist Kpax brings us this stunning drone video of Marmolada, the highest peak in the Dolomites chain of northern Italy.  Straddling the provinces of Trentino in the Trentino-Alto-Adige region) and Belluno (in the Veneto region), Marmolada has a peak elevation of just under 11k ft. above sea level or around 3.3k m.  The Dolomites are a subchain of the Southern Limestone Alps which extend across portions of the northeastern regions of the country.  The video was filmed with a DJI Air 3 drone.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Winner Alta Movie srl brings us this fantastic drone video from the Dolomite Mountains of northern Italy.  The video opens with a fantastic shot skimming over the Toblacher See, a lake in the province of South Tyrol.  From there, you'll head into the heart of the range, which is part of the Northern Limestone Alps and which straddles the regions of Trentino-Alto-Adigio and Veneto.  The video features some stunning shots of the pilot standing atop a rocky, snow-covered ridge. 

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist Kpax brings us this stunning drone video from Italy's Mt. Seceda.  Seceda is a prominent peak in the Dolomite Mountains, a subchain of the Southern Limestone Alps.  Located in the province of South Tyrol, Seceda has a maximum elevation of just under 8.3k ft. above sea level or just over 2.5k m.  Part of the Puez-Odle Nature Park, the top of Seceda affords spectacular views of the nearby Odle/Geisler Peaks.  The video was created with footage from a DJI Mini 2 drone.    

Check out this excellent drone video of a well-known castle town in northern Italy, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot Max232.  The town of Bruneck is located in the province of South Tyrol, its German-sounding name a function of the province being a territory of Austria-Hungary prior to World War I.  Bruneck lies at the confluence of the Rivers Ahr and Rienz, in the Puster Valley.  The town came to prominence in the late Middle Ages, when it sat astride an important trade route between Venice and Augsburg (in modern-day Germany).  

Talented pilot Muhamad AbuShakra is taking us back to the Dolomites in all their glory in the height of autumn colors. Shot with the DJI Mavic 2 Pro, he’ll give us a variety of shots from South Tyrol, never afraid to fly into the fog or right above the glassy water provided by glacial lakes. Also known as the Pale Mountains, the range was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in August of 2009. 

In this excellent drone video by Travel and Drones you'll explore some lesser known spots around Lake Garda in northern Italy.  The first part of the video was shot on Monte Baldo, which runs along the eastern shore of Italy's largest lake in the provinces of Trentino and Verona.  The next stop is a bit to the north: the medieval castle on the shores of Lake Toblino in Trento.  The last stop is Fort Ardietti, a 19th century fortification just south of Lake Garda in Verona, near the border with the province of Brescia.  

AirVuz contributor and pilot ALFPV put together this outstanding compilation of drone shots of his mountain climbing conquests from 2021-2023 in northern Italy.  The mountains shown are all part of the Dolomite Mountains in South Tyrol, one of the two provinces of the Trentino-Alto-Adigio region.  The Dolomites, which also cover portions of the neighboring Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions, are part of the Southern Limestone Alps.   They reach elevations of up to nearly 11k ft. above sea level or around 3.3k m.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist davidpardo71 brings us this stunning drone video from the Dolomite Mountains in northeastern Italy.  Filmed with a DJI Air 2S during the sunrise hours, the video features footage from the following locations: the Alpe de Siusi region in the province of South Tyrol; Lago Fedèra, an alpine lake in the province of Belluno; the Grupo Cadini mountain group, in South Tyrol; and the famous Tres Cimes de Lavaredo formation, which lies on the border between the provinces of South Tyrol and Belluno.  

Take a tour of the Italian Dolomite Mountains in this fantastic piece by AirVuz contributor BvdB Productions.  Part of the Northern Limestone Alps, the Dolomites run across three provinces: Trentino and South Tyrol in the Trentino-Alto-Adigio Region plus the Belluno Province of the Veneto Region.  The video features footage of some of the range's most iconic spots, including the Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Drei Zinnen), Lago di Braies (Pragser Wildsee), the Gardena (Passo Gardena), and the Val di Funes.

Former Drone Video of the Week Winner Dronescapes by Atellani created this stunning "5k" aerial video of Italy's Dolomite Mountains.  Situated in the northeastern part of the country, this range is part of the eastern Alps, which have somewhat lower altitudes (but frequently greater prominence) than the western Alps.  While the highest peaks in the Dolomites are a modest 3-3.3k meters (just under 11k ft) they more than make up for their modest altitude by their spectacular limestone rock formations.  

Part of what makes the Dolomite Mountains of northern Italy so attractive is their accessibility.  Part of the Northern Limestone Alps, the Dolomites are shared between the Trentino-Alto-Adigio and Veneto Regions.  With altitudes of a little over 3.3k meters above sea level (about 11k ft.), they are far easier to reach compared to the taller peaks to the west.  This opens up endless possibilities for drone pilot to film the hikes as well as the spectacular piece, as you'll see in this amazing video by Alessandro_Campo.   

For a first upload to AirVuz, brand-new contributor fafo87 brings us this fantastic wintertime drone video from a town in the mountains of northern Italy.  The village of Soprabolzano is one of the fraziones (administrative sub-divisions) of the commune of Ritten in South Tyrol, one of the two provinces which make up the Trentino-Alto-Adigio region.  The German-sounding names of the towns and villages of the region is a historical legacy: until World War I, South Tyrol was a province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  

Check out this fantastic drone video from the Dolomite Mountains in Italy's South Tyrol province, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot copter one.  The Schlern has a peak altitude of just under 2.6k meters above sea level or around 8.4k ft.  The mountain's peak is called Santner Spitze in honor of Johann Santner who first reached it in 1880.  Its Germanic name, common to many of the Dolomite Peaks, is a vestige of the fact that South Tyrol was under control of the Austro-Hungarian Empire prior to World War I.  

Top AirVuz content creator and drone pilot armandoWDN brings us this excellent aerial view of one of the most beautiful churches in Italy's Dolomite Mountains.  It's called St. Valentine's Chapel, and it's located near the city of Rovereto in Trentino, the southern of the two provinces which make up the Trentino-Alto-Adige region.  Located at the gateway to the Dolomite Mountains, the original structure here dates to the 13th century AD, although the church has undergone substantial changes since then.  

AirVuz contributor Luigi78 brings us this excellent drone video of a pair of alpine lakes in the Trentino Province of northern Italy.  The larger of the two is Lake Caldonazzo.  This lake sits at an elevation of about 1.5k ft. above sea level or around 450 m.  It covers a surface area of about two square mi. or around five square km.  The smaller of the two lakes lies to its east, Lake Levico.   Both lakes are located in the community of Alta Valsugana e Bersntol, in the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains.  

AirVuz contributor b1z10_fpv is best known as a first person view (FPV) pilot, but he used a (gimbal-stabilized) DJI Mini 2 drone to make this beautiful video from the mountains of northern Italy.  The video was filmed over and around the Lagorai, a massif of the Eastern Alps range in Trentino, the southernmost of the two provinces of the Trentino-Alto-Adigio Region.  The highest peak of the Lagorai, Mt. Cima de Cice, has a peak altitude of just over 9k ft. above sea level or around 2.75k m.  

Talented contributor Richard Beresford Harris brings us this fantastic drone video from the Italy's Dolomite Mountains.  The video features footage from a series of passes through these majestic peaks, which are part of the Northern Limestone Alps: Falzarego, which connects the towns of Agordo and Cortina d'Ampezzo in the province of Belluno; Pordoi, which connects the towns of Arabba (also in Beluno) with Canazei, in the province of South Tyrol; Gardena, in South Tyrol; and Sella, which connects the provinces of South Tyrol and Trentino.

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist rimroosjen used a DJI Mini 3 to create this stunning video from the Dolomite Mountains in northern Italy.  The eight oz. (249 g) quad does a phenomenomal job of showing off the beauty of these peaks, which form part of the Northern Limestone Alps and which run across provinces of the Trentino-Alto-Adigio and Veneto regions in the northeastern part of the country.  You'll soar over some of the most spectacular alpine sceney in Europe, complete with verdant meadows dotted by iconic churches.

Known variously as the Three Peaks of Lavaredo (Tre Cime di Lavaredo) and the Three Merlins (Drei Zinnen), the three battlement peaks shown in this excellent drone video by Never Stop Exploring are one of the most iconic sites of the Alps.  The peaks are part of the Dolomite Mountains, which form part of the Southern Limestone Alps.  The middle and tallest peak, known as Cima Grande or Große Zinne, has an elevation of 3k meters above sea level or just over 9.8k ft.  The peaks straddle the regions of Trentino-Alto-Adigio and Veneto.  

Prepare to be blown away by this drone video from the Dolomite Mountains in northern Italy, compliments of AirVuz contributor Cst FPV.  The highly cinematic piece was filmed using a DJI Air 2S gimbal-stabilized drone for "setup" shots and a first person view (FPV) quad for the fast-moving mountain surfing sequences.  Among the video's many highlights are some epic shots of the famous Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Drei Zinnen) formation, a three peak mountain on the border between the provinces of South Tyrol and Belluno.  

Tre Cime di Lavaredo (also known by its German name, Drei Zinnen, are some of the most distinctive looking mountains in the Dolomites of northern Italy.  Once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they now sit on the border between the Veneto and Trentino-Alto-Adigio regions of Italy.  The mountains appeared (in computer-modified form) in the 2018 Star Wars deriviative: Solo: A Star Wars Story.  You can seen them from a drone's perspective in this amazing video by AirVuz contributor and drone pilot Alberto Ardit.  

The mountains of northern Italy have become something of a magnet for drone pilots, including those flying first person view (FPV) racing drones.  As evidence, check out this fantastic piece by AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot SirM Productions, who used a mini-drone to "surf" an area known as the Staller Saddle.  It's a mountain pass in the High Tauern range, which is part of the Central Eastern Alps.  The pass connects the Italian province of South Tyrol with the East Tyrol are of neighboring Austria.  

One battery pack was all it took for top AirVuz contributor and pilot fidofpv to create this stunning first person view (FPV) drone video from the Dolomite Mountains in northeastern Italy.  The video was filmed flying over the main ridge of Mt. Seceda, one of the peaks of this storied mountain range.  Located in the province of South Tyrol, Seceda has a peak elevation of just over 8.25k ft. above sea level or around 2.5k m.  This video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in February of 2024.
