About this experience
Flying in a hot air balloon is an extraordinary experience that is worth trying at least once in a lifetime!
An activity that is both exciting and relaxing, offering a breathtaking view and an absolutely unique feeling of freedom. In a hot air balloon you can enjoy a 360° panorama, as from a terrace suspended in the skies.
Silence is interrupted only by the blow of the burner that heats the balloon. You can fly slowly, grazing trees, fields and small towns or rise a few thousand meters without almost realizing it, no other aircraft offers you this versatility!
When flying in a hot air balloon you know the take-off point but you do not know where the precise landing point will be, this is the philosophy and also principle of balloon flight: flying for the sake of flying without a predefined destination, pandering to the winds.
Charbonnier Mongolfiere, certified operator since 1982, will be happy to welcome you on board.
