Colle del Nivolet (French: Col du Nivolet) is a mountain pass in the Eastern group of the Graian Alps in Italy. It is at the top of the Valle Orco on the road from Turin and Ceresole Reale. Beyond the colle the road terminates in the upper reaches of the eponymous Valsavarenche valley in the Gran Paradiso mountain group, before the valley descends to Valsavarenche and Aosta. The colle forms part of the boundary between the Aosta Valley and the Piemont region. The highest point of the paved road is 2,641 metres (8,665 feet).
The approach road from Lago Agnel was the location of several scenes in The Italian Job, including the final bus crash.
