The Dolomite Alps in Italy, seen from above in spectacular images

Today, drones are revolutionizing many aspects of life, including everything related to image recording.

Obviously, as with any tool, there are people with a special talent for operating drones and for recording and processing the images. Today I bring you a good example of this: a video recorded with images of the Dolomite Alps in northeastern Italy. I've already dedicated several articles to this mountain range, but never with images of this amazing quality.

Today, Joshua Turner, whose YouTube channel I highly recommend, has posted an incredible video filmed in the Dolomites. In the description, he says: "I visited the Dolomites for the first time at the end of September 2025 and was totally blown away by the beauty of these mountains. I had seen many photos beforehand, but nothing prepares you for the scale and jaggedness of these peaks. We were fortunate to have some early-season cold temperatures paired with a fresh dusting of snow, which added even more magic to the landscape. One of my goals with this edit was to contrast the rugged snowcapped peaks with the lush greenery below. I hope you enjoy!"

The video has frankly left me speechless:

In recent months I have already shared here videos of Joshua Turnes filmed in Malta, Budapest and in a volcanic eruption of Mount Etna. Each one of them is a work of art, and this man surpasses himself with each new video he publishes. My sincerest congratulations. I leave you here with some screenshots from his latest video, as a preview. The image at the top of this post is the Vezzana peak, at 1,274 meters, the highest in the Pale di San Martino mountains. Below we see a beautiful image of the Church of San Valentin de Castelrotto in Seis am Schlern (Siusi allo Sciliar, in Italian), built in the 13th century and considered one of the most beautiful churches in this mountain range.

Below these lines we see the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. We see two of its three peaks: on the left, Cima Piccola (Kleine Zinne in German, 2,857 meters high) and on the right, Cima Grande (Große Zinne, 2,999 meters). Behind it lies Cima Ovest (Westliche Zinne, 2,973 meters).

Here we see the Ivano Dibona via ferrata, which crosses the Monte Cristalino massif and which I already told you about in February. An impressive shot passing under a footbridge that crosses a steep rocky gorge.

We finished with the one known as Strada a Serpente (Snake Road) of the Giau Pass (which I already told you about in July), in the province of Belluno, Veneto, Italy, a road very popular among tourists for its curves.
