Italy Pyramids of Segonzano Trento

The Pyramids of Segonzano are a fascinating natural wonder in northern Italy’s Trentino region. These towering earth pillars, shaped by centuries of erosion, rise dramatically from the forested hills like ancient monuments. From above, their unique formations become even more impressive — set against the lush alpine backdrop, they resemble a surreal, otherworldly landscape.

A drone is the perfect tool to capture the full scale and geometry of the pyramids. Fly during the golden hours to get warm, directional light that enhances textures and casts dramatic shadows. Try top-down shots to emphasize the vertical shapes, or wide-angle perspectives that show the pyramids in the context of the valley and surrounding forests.

The pyramids are located near the village of Segonzano, about 30 km from Trento. There’s a designated parking area and a short hiking trail that leads to ground-level viewpoints. For drone flights, ensure good GPS signal and comply with Italian drone laws — especially regarding altitude limits and nature reserve regulations.
