Testing the new Zenmuse X7 camera.
Cinematic aerial footage of Cervinia ,the surrounding mountains and the Matterhorn (Cervino in Italian) mountain borders with Italy and Switzerland. The four steep faces, rising above the surrounding glaciers, face the four compass points. The Matterhorn was studied by Horace-Bénédict de Saussure in the late eighteenth century, who was followed by other renowned naturalists and artists, such as John Ruskin, in the nineteenth century. It remained unclimbed after most of the other great Alpine peaks had been attained and became the subject of an international competition for the summit. The first ascent of the Matterhorn was finally made in 1865 from Zermatt.
Sometimes referred to as the Mountain of Mountains, the Matterhorn has become an iconic emblem of the Swiss Alps. Cervinia being one of Europe's highest ski resorts means low temperatures and good consistent snow fall, Skiing is nearly year round on the glacier. Featured are also heards of chamois, which is a species of wild goat-antelope native to mountains in Europe. The footage was short using the Hubertus resort as a base. Both 35mm and 50mm lenses were used.

Simply excellent. The first time I see the back side of the Matterhorn. Of course, the Swiss side is more beautiful :-)

Come on! Cervinia might not a pretty town (If they only invested some money!), but the surrounding mountains and slopes are just amazing. BTW, can you get to Zermatt with an electric car, or do you have to leave it outside as well?
P.S. Switzerland is also too expensive, Italy is way cheaper

On another note, the Susten pass is just amazing for droning. I have to go to Hasliberg quite a bit and I suffer a lot when the Susten is closed, which is most of the year, sigh!

Great video.
Love the 50mm look from above.

Switzerland is safe. That costs money. Italy is the land of thieves. Nevertheless, the day after tomorrow I drive to Vicenza and Venice. With the drone and the guard dog at my side. No, no, Italy is okay.

Pretty impressive lens, hard to keep an eye on things as they appear soooo close

That could open up a whole debate as it's often a safe place for thieves to hide their money, just kidding of course.
