Drone Videos of Trentino Alto Adige, Italy

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.

The Dolomites mountain range in northeastern Italy has 18 peaks over 3k meters (about 10k ft.).  While these are not the highest peaks of the Alps system of which they form a subrange,  they are among the most spectacular.  In this video by Daniele Bolgia, you can see these magnificent jagged peaks for yourself.  The entire range, which covers much of the Trentino Alto Adige region and part of the Veneto region, has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage natural site. 

Showcasing the brilliant Dolomites Mountains of Northern Italy, this Drone Video of the Week Nominee by daniele bolgia is stunning. Called "The Pale Mountains" due to their color, this area of the mountain region soaks up the sunlight and turns stunning shades of orange, gold, and red at sunset. Daniele shot this piece on the DJI Mavic 2 Pro, allowing him to really emphasize the brilliant colors seen in nature. The Dolomites cover parts of Italy's Trentino-Alto-Adigio and Veneto regions.

Contributor Alessandro_campo used a DJI Mavic Pro 2 to create this magnificent aerial video from the Dolomite Mountains of northern Italy. Part of the Southern Limestone Alps, the Dolomites are far from the tallest mountains in the Alps system - Mt. Blanc is nearly 50% taller than Marmolada, the highest Dolomite peak.  What they lack in altitude, they more than make up in prominence, as you'll see from these astounding views of the mountains which was picked as a DVOW Finalist in October, 2019.

While the Dolomite Mountains of northern Italy are not the highest peaks in the Alps, they may be the most spectacular looking. Case in point is this amazing reel of the Dolomites from top contributor BashirAbuShakra.  Shot over the course of two years, it includes footage from the following locations: St. Magdalena, Val Fiscalina, Tre Cime de Lavaredo, Passo Giau, Cinque Torre, Cardini di Misurina, Alpe di Siusa, Monte Pelmo, Lago di Braies, Marmolada, Monte Cristallo, Croda de Toni, Seceda, and more. This video won DVOW in September, 2019.

Inthis excellent drone video by effezeta_channel, you'll get an aerial tour of the spectacular Trentino-Alto-Adigio region of northern Italy.  The almost entirely moountain-covered region, one of the 20 which make up the modern state of Italy, incorporates the provinces of Trentino (Trento) and South Tyrol (Bolzano).  The video includes footage of the Val di Funes, the  Passo delle Erbe mountain pass, the Meran 2000 ski resort, the (rapidly shrinking) Presena Glacier, and the commune of Peio.  

Contributor Daniele Bolgia created this stunning aerial mini-tour of Trentino, a province of Northern Italy.  Trentino is essentially the southern half of the semi-autonomous region of Trentino-Alto Adige, the northern half being the province of South Tyrol.  The video will take you through the spectacularly beautiful province, including magnificent shots of the  Dolomites Mountains and the provincial capital Trento.   With a population of about 120,000, Trento is one of the largest cities in the Alps.

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.

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 Italian Dolomites are bustling with natural beauty and diversity. The peaks, also known as the “Pale Mountains” take their name from the carbonate rock dolomite. Part of the Alps system, they were formed over 280 million years ago when parts of Europe and Africa were merged into the supercontinent Pangaea. Drone pilot _davidpeterson_ took his DJI Mavic Air out to the famous mountains, capturing this footage along the way, earning him a Drone Video of the Week nomination. 

Contributor Electriclife created this stunning aerial video of the Dolomite Mountains.  Situated in northeastern Italy, 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.  Most of the range has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage natural site.

Electriclife created this breathtaking 4k drone video of Stelvio Pass, one of the highest mountain passes in the Eastern Alps range.  It connects Italy's South Tyrol and Sondrio provinces in the far north of the country.  With its hairpin turns, the road running through the pass is considered one of the best drives in the world, though certainly not for the faint of heart.   This pass, at an altitude of 2.75k meters (just over 9k ft.) was the scene of heavy fighting between Italy and Austria-Hungary during World War I.

Top contributor Bashir Abu Shakra recovered his lost drone and put it to good use creating this stunning 4k video of the Dolomites in Italy's Sudtirol (South Tyrol) region in the country's northeastern parts.  Shot 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 and extend 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.

Behold this stunning 4k drone video by Bashir Abu Shakra from northeastern Italy.  Villnöß is a small town in Italy's South Tyrol province.  The German-sounding name of the town and the province is not coincidence; this area had historically been part of the Austro Hungarian Empire prior to it being ceded to Italy following the First World War.  His video gives us bird's eye views of the magnificent alpine valleys and jagged Dolomite peaks around the hamlet.  

Contributor Thomas Vitali gives us a great drone's eye view of one of the most iconic spots in the Alps, specifically the Dolomite subrange of northern Italy.  The Tre Cime di Lavaredo, or Drei Zinnen as they are known in German ("three Merlons") is a three-peaked mountain which covers part of the the South Tyrol and Belluno provinces.    While the peaks once formed the Austro-Italian border, Italy's territorial gain of all of South Tyrol in World War I pushed the border well north of here.

When you combine one of the world's most photogenic mountain ranges with modern drones and video editing, this is what's possible.  The hypnotic swirl of clouds that hug the peaks of the Dolomites in this drone video is incredibly captivating. Using hyperlapse techniques with a drone, contributor Gianluca_simonella created a dynamic aerial view of the famous mountain range. The immense mountain peaks stand tall as the delicate shadows of clouds pass overhead.

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 northestern Italy is breathtakingly beautiful on it's 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.  

Shot with the DJI Mavic Air, this cinematic film of Northern Italy was a Drone Video of the Week nominee. Content creator Lorenzo dedicated this piece to his wife, who he says has been a wonderful gift in his life. The Dolomites, specifically Alta Badia, Südtirol, and Trentino Alto Adige, set the remarkable backdrop for a short film meant to show a man's love for his bride. This video was nominated for Drone Video of the Week in November 2018.

Located in Trentino, Italy, the Castle Pergine guards the Valsugana valley and Lake Caldonazzo.  It was built in the 13th Century and inhabitted by Austrian Royalty until 1521 when it was passed on to the prince bishops of Trento. In 1900 it was bought by German's and remodeled, slowly turning into a hotel and restaurants. Legend has it that a mysterious lady in white frequents the Camera del Comino (the Fireplace Room). Do you believe in ghosts?

A national treasure in northeastern Italy and part of the Southern Limestone Alps, the Dolomites produce some of the best drone videos of mountains we've seen here at AirVūz. Nominated for Drone Video of the Week, Daniele Bolgia shows us a specific part of the mountain range called "Rifugio Torre di Pisa." The area is known for the rock that bears a remarkable resemblance to Pisa's famous Leaning Tower, which is located well to the southwest in Tuscany.  

This quick but intense dronelapse footage in the epic landscape of the Dolomite Mountains in Italy's Trentino Alto Adige region will knock your socks off. Contributor backpackpassion shot this aerial boomerang with a DJI Mavic 2 during that magical time of day where bright beams of sunlight give the shifting clouds a warm glow. Their chaotic grace amongst the mountain peaks make for some epic viewing, testament to the beauty of these mountains and the power of the newest Mavic.

Contributor Abstract Aerial Art captured the devastation from severe winds near Lago di Carezza (Karersee) in northeastern italy.  The lake is near the town of Welschnofen in the South Tyrol province, part of the Trentino Alto Adige region.  As you will see in the video, the area suffered massive tree damage from a storm that produced extreme winds which wreaked havoc on vast forested areas.  It will likely take centuries for this area to repair the damage caused in just a few short hours.

Contributor Daniele Bolgia created this stunning drone video of Forte Vezzena in northern Italy.  It sits atop Mt. Vezzena, part of the Vicentine Prealps in the Trento province.  It was a key position in a string of fortifications constructed by Austria-Hungary in the years leading up to World War I, when the area was part of that empire.  Once Italy joined the conflict on the Allied side in 1915, the fort was under near-constant artillery bombardment.  Despite suffering significant damage, it never gave way.   

Haussmannvisuals is known for their artistic eye and cinematic edits. This video of the Dolomite mountain range in Italy's Trentino-Alto-Adigio region is no exception. Considered a sub-range of the Alps mountain system, the Dolomites includes peaks of up to of just over 3.3k meters (nearly 11k ft.) above sea level.  The Dolomites were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site back in 2009. Enjoy the magnificent views from above in this 80 second piece. 

Contributor Alberto Ardit created this beautiful drone video of some of the most spectacular mountains in Italy.  The Dolomites are a subchain of the Alps which extend across portions of the northeastern regions of the country.  The tallest peak of the chain is Marmolada, which straddles the Trentino-Alto-Adigio and Veneto autonomous regions.  It's height is just over 3.3k meters, just under 11k ft. above sea level.  The video covers Marmolada as well as the neighboring Sella and Pordoi Passes.  

The imposing grandeur of the Dolomites in northeastern Italy were captured in epic style by drone pilot Koorosh and his DJI Phantom 4 Pro. With rotating backdrops of both fog and blue sky, the rugged landscape of this eastern portion of the Alps is juxtaposed by the quaint churches and elegant castles which adorn it's foothills, as seen here in the beautiful aerial video.  The video was filmed in Italy's South Tyrol province, the northern half of its Trentino-Alto-Adigio region.

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 electriclife (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 Electriclife.  

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 electriclife 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).

The mountains of what is now the Italian province of Trentino saw heavy fighting during the First World War.  Under some of the toughest conditions imaginable, Italian and Austro-Hungarian armies rained machine gun and artillery fire on each other, killing and maiming hundreds of thousands.  In this drone video by top contributor daniel.bolga, you'll get a look at Fort Vezzena, an Austrian stronghold and observatory which Italian forces were never able to take frontally despite numerous attempts.    

Contributor Videovolando created this beautiful drone video from an area of northern Italy that was used as a filming location for a popular Italian TV show.  The area is near the town of Innichen in South Tyrol, the northernmost province of the country and part of the Trentino-Alto-Adigio region.  It was used in season 4 of El Paso del Cielo, a show which involves the commander of a state forestry corps and the police commissioner of the local town.  The season aired in 2017.

Check out this drone video of a famous partially submerged church in northern Italy, compliments of contributor Kpax. In 1950, the mountain town of Curon Venosta in South Tyrol was sacrificed to make way for a hydroelectric project in the area which required two nearby lakes to be merged and enlarged as the reservoir.  While the residents were relocated to a new town at a higher altitude, the only remaining sign of the town is its church, which was only partially submerged in the deluge.  

Top contributor Daniele Bolgia used a drone to chronicle the extensive damage which the Vaia storm inflicted on northern Italy in October, 2018.  The storm downed thousands upon thousands of trees in the mountainous areas spread across several regions in the northeastern part of the country.  The area shown here is in the Trentino province, which is part of the Trentino-Alto-Adigio region and which took the brunt of the monster storm, one of the worst to hit Italy in many decades.  

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.  

The Dolomites never cease to amaze us. If you can’t see the powerful mountain range in person, we have to imagine the next best way to experience its beauty is by drone. This aerial video by ClearSky features many of the ranges most well known locations: Seceda and Lagazuoi mountains, Cinque Torri of the Nuvolao group of mountains, the Seiser Alm Alpine meadow, and the Falzarego, Giau, and Gardena Passes.  The Dolomites are a sub-range of the great Alps Mountains system.

The Italian Dolomites are some of the most scenic mountains in the world. Just ask pilot Alberto Ardit who spent three days traveling through them, capturing epic aerial footage along the way. The locations he’s visiting include: Dobbiaco, or Toblach, in South Tyrol; the largest natural lake of the Cadore, Lake Misurina; Auronzo di Cadore in the Italian region of Veneto; and the Drei Zinnen, or Tre Time di Lavaredo, three distinctive battlement-like peaks in the Sexten Dolomites.

Top contributor Chris Borg created this drone video from a beautiful spot in the far north of Italy.  It's the area around the town of Bruneck (Brunico), and it's located in the South Tyrol province near the Austrian border.  The town sits in the Puster Valley, which is created by the Alps and which runs between Italy and Austria.  This area had been part of Austria-Hungary before World War I, and (like the rest of the South Tyrol province) it came under Italian control following the Austrian collapse in 1918.  

With some of the best skiing in Europe, the Dolomites mountain region of northern Italy is a site to see. The region was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009 and the mountains are also known as the Pale Mountains. Shared by the provinces of Belluno, South Tyrol, and Trentino there are dozens of world-renowned resorts to chose from. Drone pilot Pavlo Glazkov gives us an aerial preview of what skiing in the legendary area would be like in this short film.

Check out this stunning 4k drone video of one of the most famous masifs in the Alps, compliments of mavic pro.  Called, in various languages, the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Drei Zinnen, or the Three Peaks, it's part of the Dolomites range which is itself part of the Southern Limestone Alps.  While the elevation of the middle peak is a modest 3k meters (around 9.8k ft.) they are amongst the world's most visually distinctive mountains.  They lie on the border between the Italian provinces of South Tyrol and Belluno.  

Check out this drone video of a well-known mountain castle in northern Italy, compliments of contributor Macgiver.  It's called Runkelstein Castle (Castel Roncolo), and it's in the commune of Ritten in South Tyrol.  The structure took most of its modern form in the 14th century, when a merchant family gained control of what was then a badly damaged fortification.  It underwent a series of ownership changes and fell into disrepair, before being "rediscovered" during the early 19th century Romanticists and later restored.

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.

In this drone footage, contributor daniele bolgia takes us high above the Dolomite Mountains, a chain that runs through several provinces of northeastern Italy.  Amongst the snow-dusted peaks of the famous mountain range, sits a single lone chalet that has some of the most epic 360° views one could imagine.  Off in the distance, winding roads lead down to the green valley below.  Enjoy this exquisite aerial trek through the Dolomites, which form part of the Southern Limestone Alps.

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.  

The Pragser Wildsee, or Lake Prags, Lake Braies is a tiny but picturesque lake in the Prags Dolomites in South Tyrol, Italy. The lake, which sits at an elevation of about 1.5k meters or just under 5k feet above sea level, covers an area of less than 80 acres. During the end of World War II, the lake was where many high value prisoners from concentration camps in Germany were transported to Tyrol.  Check out this beautiful alpine lake from above in this drone video by Mark_fisio.
