The “Flight of the Angel” between the two villages of Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano is one of the most famous attractions in Basilicata. Along a steel cable, suspended in mid-air between the two villages of Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano set in the rock, you can experience a unique thrill and have a different perspective on the Lucanian Dolomites.
The leap between sky and earth allows the traveler, immersed in a suggestive landscape, to discover the Lucanian nature from another angle. The “Flight of the Angel” experience can be enjoyed every year during the summer period.
Where the Lucanian Dolomites are located
The Lucanian Dolomites are a few kilometers from Potenza, with exits at Pietrapertosa or Castelmezzano, along the Basentana road that connects the Lucanian capital to Matera.
Flight of the Angel for couples
For some years now, the Flight of the Angel over the Lucanian Dolomites, one of Basilicata’s most well-known attractions even beyond national borders, can also be done in pairs.
The attraction that allows you to take flight between Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano – towns in Basilicata located in the province of Potenza and set in the Lucanian Dolomites – can therefore also be experienced gliding together, provided some essential conditions to ensure the safety of participants are met.
Rules for the Flight of the Angel as a couple
The first rule to keep well in mind is that the maximum weight allowed for the flights is 150 kilograms: overall the couple must not exceed this limit. Another rule concerns children: it is possible to fly together with a parent, but only if the child is at least 12 years old. Under this age limit, it will not be possible to take the Flight of the Angel, even if accompanied by an adult.
If all parameters are met, then you can proceed with the flight which will give the thrill of soaring in the air for a little over a minute, reaching a height of about 400 meters and covering a distance of slightly more than one and a half kilometers. An experience well worth trying, now even better if done as a couple.
