AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Contributor and drone pilot Kpax created this stunning aerial video of a mountain pass and alpine lake in northern Italy. The pass is called Nivolet Pass, and it connects the city of Turin with the town of Ceresole Reale, both of which lie in the Piedmont region. The video also features footage of Agnel Lake, which is located near the pass. The road leading to the lake was a primary filming scene for the 1969 comedy film The Italian Job, considered one of the top 3-4 dozen British films of all time.

The Nivolet Pass is a mountain pass in the Eastern group of the Graian Alps in northern Italy. It is located at the top of the Orco Valley on the road from Turin to Ceresole Reale, in the Gran Paradiso National Park. Beyond the pass, the road terminates in the upper reaches of the eponymous Valsavarenche valley in the Gran Paradiso mountain group, before the valley descends to Valsavarenche and Villeneuve. The colle forms part of the boundary between the Aosta Valley and the Piemont region. The highest point of the paved road is 2,641 metres (8,665 feet). Two artificial lakes, Serrù Lake and Agnel Lake, are located immediately below the pass. The approach road from Agnel Lake was the location of several scenes in the film The Italian Job, including the iconic final bus crash.
