In the words of the guy who jumps over the edge “o mio diooooooo!!!” (oh my God).
This is definitely not an activity for anyone who’s afraid of heights, but this Volo d’Angelo (Flight of the Angel) has all the signs of being an experience you would never forget.

Basically you’re harnassed onto a kind of enormous flying fox suspended between the peak’s of two towns – Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa.
And this is the way you fly through the Lucane Dolomites, located in the south of Italy in Basilicata, discovering things from a very different point of view.

The “Volo” is planned like this: you arrive in the town and visit it a little before “flying” up to the next point of departure.
You visit the second town, enjoy the view and taste some typical products of the area before flying back again clipped to a different cable.
You can try out the flight on two different ropes at heights of either 118 metres or 130 metres.
The first is called San Martino and leaves from Pietrapertosa (altitude of 1020m) and it arrives in Castelmezzano (at 859 metres) after travelling the 1415 and reaching a maximum speed of 110 km/hr.

The Peschiere line lets you go at Castelmezzano at 1019 metres and you arrive in Pietrapertosa (888 metres), reaching 120 km/hr over a distance of 1452 metres.
