Extreme Italy - Bridge to the Moon

4/6/2017

Comments

I can attest to the fact that parts of Basilicata, a southern region of Italy, are very rugged, especially true of the area surrounding the villages of Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa, tucked at the top of dolomite, jagged cliffs. These towns draw extreme sports enthusiasts with their Vol dell 'Angelo (Flight of the Angels), a high speed face down zip line hung between the two towns' clifftops.

PictureSasso di Castalda
There is lot in this region for the extreme sport or outdoor enthusiast:  canyons, gorges and white water streams, biking through high mountain pastures while passing donkeys, sheep, cattle, ghost towns, and castle fortresses on hilltops...  cross-country skiing in winter, and hiking and trekking trails, one of which brings you to a mountaineering-style cable bridge, hanging in between two mountains, 360 feet above the gorge and river below...
Ponte della Luna (
Bridge to the Moon) is accepting the first adventurers today--April 6th--who are brave enough to carefully walk across it's 900 foot span for a 30 minute, breathtaking experience. Safety equipment is required, but can be rented at the ticket office. There are 600 metal steps about 18 inches apart, which seem invisible when looking down, thanks to their open grid design. The views of the rustic village of Sasso di Castalda are amazing, but one shouldn't get too distracted!


Open every day from 9am to 5pm
€ 15 adults
€ 10 children under 14 years
Group discounts available
