Il “Angel Flight” between the two villages of Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano is one of the most famous attractions in Basilicata. Along a steel cable, suspended in the void between the two villages of Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano embedded in the rock, you can live a unique emotion and have a different perspective for viewing the Lucanian Dolomites.
The dive between sky and earth allows the traveler, immersed in a suggestive landscape, to discover the Lucanian nature from another angle. The “Angel Flight” experience can be lived every year, during the summer period.
Where the Lucanian Dolomites are located
The Lucanian Dolomites are located a few kilometers from Potenza, with exits at Pietrapertosa or Castelmezzano, along the Basentana road that connects the Lucanian capital to Matera.
Angel Flight for Couples
For a few years now, the Angel Flight of the Lucanian Dolomites, one of the most well-known attractions of Basilicata even beyond national borders, can also be done as a couple.
The attraction that allows you to take flight between Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano – towns in Basilicata located in the province of Potenza and nestled in the Lucanian Dolomites, therefore, can also be experienced gliding in pairs, provided some essential conditions are met to ensure the safety of visitors.

Rules for the Angel Flight as a Couple
The first rule to keep 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 with a parent, but only if the child is at least 12 years old. Below this age limit, it will not be possible to undertake the Angel Flight, even if accompanied by an adult.
If all parameters are respected, then you can proceed with the flight that will give you the thrill of soaring in the air for just over a minute, reaching a height of about 400 meters and covering a distance of just over one and a half kilometers. An experience worth trying, even better now if as a couple.
