Switzerland Julierpassstrasse
This iconic series of hairpin turns on the Julier Pass offers a striking visual from above. Set in the Swiss Alps, the winding road cuts beautifully through the mountainous terrain, making it a perfect subject for aerial photography. The contrast between the road and the natural surroundings creates a captivating composition, especially with light fog or autumn colors.
Photography Tips
Use a drone to capture a true top-down (90°) perspective, emphasizing the symmetry and shape of the road. Early morning or late afternoon light adds depth with shadows. Ensure you fly high enough to capture multiple curves in one frame, and wait for cars to pass by to add scale and interest.
Travel Information
Julier Pass is accessible by car and open year-round, though in winter, you may need snow chains. You can park safely in one of the roadside lay-bys. Always follow Swiss drone regulations, maintain a visual line of sight, and avoid flying too close to traffic.
