If you want to experience strong emotions, you are in the right place
A long steel cable connects the two towns of Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano in a route of almost a kilometer and a half suspended in the air at a height of one thousand meters. Exciting stuff for those who, wearing the required equipment, let themselves go in a dive at almost 110-120 km of speed.
This attraction, which can be done starting from both Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano, is defenitely one of the most popular tourist destinations for those arriving in Basilicata. For those who love nature and being outdoors, the Flight of the Angel is, for sure, the most adrenaline-pumping experience to do.
A couple ready to dive with the Flight of the Angel
The harness holds the visitor tight while flying alone, or in couple, over the uncontested nature of the Lucane Dolomites Park, admiring the peaks of the Murge di Castelmezzano and the spiers of Monte Carrozze. Take a chance to enjoy, for a few minutes, a 360 ° view of the what only birds can see.
For those wishing to experience such an emotion but changing landscape and altitude, 100 km from here is the Flight of the Eagle, in the locality of San Costantino Albanese: a glider allows the simulation of flight in a hang glider composed of 4 people. Speed and altitude are slightly reduced, so this can be an unforgettable experience to enjoy with the whole family.
