Zipline in the Lucanian Dolomites: couple's flight

A deep breath, a last glance at the valley below you... off you go!

You are flying a zipline between the spires of the Lucanian Dolomites, suspended on a 1450-metre steel cable. Next to you, your partner or friend is experiencing the same crazy thrill as you!

An electrifying experience, perfect for those who, like you, cannot resist the call of adrenalin.

What we will do

The appointment is at the village of Castelmezzano(or Pietrapertosa, chosen at the time of booking), in the province of Potenza. We will meet 1 hour in advance of the time selected on the calendar for check-in and equipment check.

Harness, helmet, weight and clothing: everything will be checked to ensure a safe flight. After a short briefing, we will put on our harness and helmet, ready to reach the launch point. A trek of about 20 minutes will take us up the mountain to the starting platform at an altitude of about 1,000 metres.

We will be attached to the cable in a horizontal position, lying on our stomachs, side by side. Here, amidst the excitement of anticipation and the beauty of the view, the countdown will start: 3, 2, 1... GO!

We will launch ourselves into the first flight, covering 1450 metres of zipline, with a difference in height of around 300 metres between start and finish, and reaching dizzying speeds of up to 120 km/h. In a few seconds, we will be catapulted to the other side of the valley, with the landscape of the Lucanian Dolomites unfolding below us.

On arrival, a shuttle bus (included) will take us to the village entrance and then on foot we will reach the opposite mountain, from where we will begin a new ascent to reach the second launch point. A new challenge awaits us: another spectacular zipline back to the starting point, closing a circle of pure adrenalin among the Lucanian peaks.

Once at our destination, a final shuttle transfer (included) will take us back to the starting point, where we will finally be able to relive the experience through shots and videos of our flight (optional at extra charge).

The whole experience takes about 2 hours, including briefing, trekking, flight and transfer.
