Where to stay

Getting around

Arriving

none nearby. No railway; thin regional buses from Potenza serve the Dolomiti Lucane's rock cradle, and most arrive by car.

Tickets · regional buses (thin)

Wedged into sandstone needles: the Volo dell'Angelo zipline crosses the gorge to Pietrapertosa at 120 km/h

Tickets in bars where sold.

Validate when boarding.

On foot

·The Norman steps carved into the rock above town and the gradinata's viewpoints earn the needle skyline; book the flight ahead

Taxis and driving

·The gorge road links the twin villages the slow way; lots sit below the borgo
