This adrenaline-pumping attraction allows you to literally fly like angels over a valley that is known for its incredible natural beauty.
During the flight, you are secured in a harness and can enjoy a 1.5-kilometre flight at an altitude of up to 1,000 metres above the ground.

Two villages, two flights

The first route, called San Martino, takes you from Pietrapertosa to Castelmezzano. The second route, Peschiere, will fly you in the opposite direction. Both flights have their own charm and offer slightly different views of the surrounding countryside. The experience is suitable for both singles and couples - you can even fly in pairs side by side.

Castelmezzano, tucked between high rock towers, offers amazing views and feels like something from another world.

Both villages have deep historical roots, dating back to the settlement of ancient peoples, and their architecture bears traces of medieval castles and Arab fortresses.
