Il “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 the void between the two villages of Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano embedded in the rock, you can experience a unique thrill 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 experience of the “Flight of the Angel” can be enjoyed 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 some years now, the Angel Flight of the Lucanian Dolomites, one of Basilicata’s most well-known attractions even beyond national borders, can also be done as a couple.
The attraction that allows you to take flight between Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano – towns of 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 the visitors.
Rules for the Angel Flight in pairs
The first rule to keep firmly in mind is that the maximum weight allowed for flights is 150 kilograms: the couple together must not exceed this limit. Another rule concerns children: it is possible to fly with a parent, provided they are at least 12 years old. Below this age limit, it will not be possible to perform the Angel Flight, even if accompanied by an adult.
If all parameters are met, then you can proceed with the flight that will give 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, now even better if in pairs.
