Il Volo dell’angelo, or the Flight of the Angel, is one of Basilicata’s most astonishing tourist attractions, and is not for the faint-hearted. If you’re after a real adventure and experience of an extreme sport, you can take an incredible 1550m Tyrolean traverse from the peaks of Castelmezzano, in the Gallipoli Cognato National Park, across to the village of Pietrapertosa, which clings to the opposite peak. Feel an adrenaline rush unlike any other as you travel at speeds of up to 120kph at heights of up to 888m suspended on a wire between the two mountain top towns. The Flight of the Angels is an amazing experience, is the world’s fastest zipwire, and offers unparalleled views; the perfect way to really see the stunning mountain scenery.
