Evaluation of Rocca Massima

I have been to Rome several times, and I invite you to read my articles dedicated to the capital; but I must admit, a bit shamefully, that I had never visited Latina and its surroundings before.What I discovered is a beautiful and much "quieter" area than Rome with wide open fields, small villages and breathtaking hamlets immersed in nature, and one of the most remarkable among them Rocca Massima.

Perched at over 700 meters above sea level on the Lepini Mountains, Rocca Massima is the highest municipality in the province of Latina.

This small medieval village, home to just a few hundred inhabitants, overlooks the Sacco Valley and offers a truly sensational panoramic view. The feeling of peace and tranquility you experience here is incredible, I can honestly say it's one of the most beautiful village I've ever seen.

The origins of the town date back to the Roman period , but its urban development took shape during  the Middle Ages, as evidenced by its ancient walls, narrow alleys and the Rocca dei Conti di Segni.

Rocca Massima is an ideal destination for anyone who loves peace, nature and history. The area is rich in nature trails, oak forests and scenic viewpoints where you can admire spectacular sunsets. It's the perfect place for slow tourism and for reconnecting with nature. However, the town is best known for one particular attraction: the Zip Line "Flying in the Sky".

Inaugurated in 2014, the Rocca Massima Zip Line, known as  "Il volo dell'Angelo" by the locals, is one of the longest and fastest zip lines in the world.

The steel cable starts from Monte S. Angelo at about 730 meters above sea level and ends in the Sacco valley, covering a total distance of 2,225 meters , which means that it is more than two kilometers!

Participants, harnessed in a horizontal position , can reach speeds of up to 160 km/h, suspended as high as 310 meters above the ground. And if you are wondering "Gabry, did you try it?" The answer is no! I preferred to watch others do it ( and took plenty of photos and videos). Interestingly, many locals told me that even people who come from the other side of the world often change their minds once they arrive and see it in person!

The ride lasts about a minute and a half but it delivers an incredible rush of adrenaline and a feeling of pure freedom that is hard to describe. You can fly solo or in tandem, and the experience is available all year round. Prices range from 40 Euros per couple to 65 Euros for a solo flight (updated to November 2025).

The Zip Line is also an extraordinary way to admire the Lazio landscape from a completely new perspective: from the sea to the mountains, villages and countryside, blending nature, technology and adventure into one unforgettable experience.

Thanks to this attraction, Rocca Massima has become one of Italy's capitals of experiential tourism attracting visitors from all over the world and helping to promote the entire region. I can't help but smile thinking of an American traveling twelve hours by plane to try it, only to back out at the last moment!
