'Landscape & Local Story'

 

Nivolet Pass 📍 is a spectacular mountain pass in the Gran Paradiso National Park, straddling the regions of Piedmont and Aosta Valley in northern Italy. At an elevation of 2,612 meters, it offers sweeping views over alpine meadows, glacial lakes such as Lago Serrù and Lago Agnel, and the surrounding peaks of the Graian Alps. Open only in summer, the scenic road to the pass is famous among cyclists, motorcyclists, and photographers for its dramatic hairpin bends and pristine landscapes.


'...The Nivolet Pass gained cinematic fame when it appeared in the final chase scene of the 1969 cult film The Italian Job. Michael Caine’s iconic line, “Hang on a minute, lads, I’ve got a great idea”, was delivered on a coach teetering over the edge of one of its roads. While no gold-filled buses have been spotted since, the pass remains a legendary destination for both film lovers and mountain enthusiasts...'
