Begin your adventure with a private transfer from Matera to Castelmezzano. Upon arrival, hop on the Lucanian Dolomites rollercoaster, a 1,180-meter-long rail track designed for pure fun. Control your speed with a simple lever, making the experience as thrilling as you like.
Start at the upper part of the San Marco district, surrounded by greenery and perfectly integrated into the village landscape. As your bob takes you gently uphill for 430 metres, enjoy incredible panoramic views of the Lucanian Dolomites. Cross a scenic bridge offering an even more stunning perspective on the surrounding landscape.
Once you reach the top at 1,051 metres, the real fun begins. The 750-meter descent is a true adrenaline rush, with straight stretches, banked turns, and even a circular section to spike your excitement. Pass through a natural tunnel of 18 metres, and finish the ride with a dramatic 45-meter loop that delivers a thrilling finale.
After all the excitement, relax and savour the authentic flavours of Basilicata. In Castelmezzano, enjoy a traditional tasting at a cosy local venue. Savour a generous platter of local cured meats and cheeses paired with a glass of regional wine (a non-alcoholic drink is provided for children). This break is the perfect opportunity to recharge while discovering the region’s rich food heritage.
After enjoying local delicacies, have some free time to stroll through the enchanting village of Castelmezzano. Lose yourself in its narrow alleys, admire the charming stone houses, and uncover the history of this fascinating place. Nestled among the mountains, the village offers breathtaking views that will make your visit even more special. Take time to snap some photos, go for a relaxing walk, and breathe in the fresh mountain air of the Lucanian Dolomites.
At the end of this emotional and discovery-filled day, your private transfer will take you comfortably back to Matera, where your tour concludes.
