Bridge to the Moon

Absolutley terrifying but the views are worth the visit

Beautiful area! Quaint town, walking trails, Via Ferrata, along with the suspension bridge. The bridges themselves (there are two) provide an outstanding view of the surrounding area and valley/canyon. The scheme is that you cross the valley twice, via suspension bridge. The crossing time (duration) will vary depending on the speed of the people in your group and how many times the people at the front of the line stop to take pictures. On weekends there are three departure times: 10 AM, noon, and 3 PM. Arrive at the billeteria (ticket office) in town (a short walk from the launch point with numerous signs to point you in the right direction) 20 minutes before your desired departure time to purchase tickets and get your harness fitted.

Awesome experience! Recommended ??

Good. But can be slow going when busy as people ahead create backlogs.

You can't really go wrong for the cheap price this place offers, you get a good old rush of adrenaline if you are not accustomed to such heights and the view from the viewing platform at the end is breathtaking. Well worth the trip to this small town and amazing experience!

Interesting experience. Better to arrive earlier to have less people traffic.

Quite nice long steel cable bridge. Safe, but also scenic. Absolutely worth s visit

The bridge to the moon is located in the small town of Sasso di Castalda a few kilometers from Potenza. The ticket office is located in the town center a few steps from the access to the first bridge. The attraction is in fact represented by two Tibetan steel bridges. The first about 100 meters long leads to the opposite side of a wide valley. Once you arrive on this side, you take an uphill path that leads to the second bridge, the bridge to the moon, about 300 meters long and at a greater height than the first. The second bridge also, compared to the first, provides a slightly downhill stretch at the beginning and an uphill stretch at the end. The view is very beautiful and can be enjoyed if you are lucky enough to cross the bridge in a day with few tourists and above all with little wind.In any case, both bridges swing quite a bit and you have to cross them carefully and always putting your foot on the center of the steel step to avoid further swaying. I strongly advise against those who suffer from dizziness or have problems with balance or in any case not in good physical shape or overweight. The staff does not carry out a safety briefing but merely harnesses you and provides you with the essential information for crossing bridges. during the passage on the bridges it is necessary to release the safety carabiners to go beyond the supports of the bridge and I believe it is necessary to communicate more information to the tourist and possibly the behavior to be followed in an emergency, since in my opinion it is in any case an activity that can involve dangers for unfamiliar people or people not used to using this type of equipment. the cost of the ticket is currently 15 euros. After crossing the first bridge, if you do not want to cross the second for any reason, you can leave the equipment and go back to the village on foot following a path. Upon arrival of the second bridge you will find a viewing platform with a splendid view of the surrounding mountains.
