The Angel Flight

About 70 km from Matera, the European Capital of Culture, lie two of Italy's most charming and award-winning villages: Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano. Nestled in the unique landscape of the Lucanian Dolomites, these towns stand out for their spectacular location, nestled between imposing rocky peaks that seem sculpted by the wind. Pietrapertosa is also the highest town in Basilicata, a place that offers unique and breathtaking views.

The Flight of the Angel: Basilicata's most thrilling experience

The most famous attraction in this area is undoubtedly the Angel Flight, an adrenaline-pumping experience that lets you soar between the peaks of two villages on special steel cables suspended in the air. The ticket includes two flights—round trip—and lets you choose which village to begin your adventure from.

The route extends along two spectacular lines, offering different perspectives and sensations:

• San Martino Line: starts from Pietrapertosa (altitude 1,020 m) and arrives in Castelmezzano (altitude 859 m). It covers 1,415 meters, reaching a maximum speed of approximately 110 km/h.
