FAQ

Hot air balloon flight is a unique and unforgettable experience, which allows you to see the world from a completely different perspective. However, before booking a flight, it is important to find out about some important aspects, such as weather conditions, cost, duration and safety.

In this section, we will answer the most frequently asked questions related to hot air balloon flying.

Are hot air balloon flights safe?
They are adventurous, emotional and, above all, safe! The hot air balloon is the oldest way to fly. We guarantee cutting-edge materials, qualified personnel and compliance with rigorous aeronautical standards. All our aircrafts are all certified and insuredas required by ENAC (National Civil Aviation Authority).
Is it possible to fly all year round?
Definitely. You can fly over vivid autumn colours or observe the nature awakening in the spring, feel fascinated by endless candid fields of snow or be mesmerised by the first rays of the summer sun. Contrary to what one might think flying in a hot air balloon in winter: the burner will always keep us warm.

 

How should I dress for a balloon ride?
Choose comfortable sports clothes. If possible, wear ankle boots or shoes that protect your feet well. We will take off early in the morning: make sure to have a windbreaker or a parka according to the season. High heels and fine clothes are not allowed. Dress for an outdoor sports activity or a hike.
Is it possible to fly all day long?
It depends on the location, season and weather conditions. One usually flies early in the morning or late in the afternoon: we take off immediately after dawn or 2 3 hours before the sunset.
How can I book a flight?
All our flights are custom-made. Please get in touch with us to explain your needs. We will respond as soon as possible with a proposal designed especially for you.

All our flights are exclusive and personalised: there will be only your pilot with you in the balloon. Our options range from 2 people flights to flights for groups of 10 accommodated in several balloons.
How much does a hot air balloon flight last?
The flight lasts about an hour but we advise allocating about 4 hours for the whole experience, considering the time for the setup, takeoff, landing and a final sharing moment.
Are takeoff and landing locations the same?
No, because we will follow the wind. Our destination is unknown and this is what makes the experience so exciting! The retrieve crew will follow us by land to the landing point where they will help us with all post-flight operations.
Is it possible to bring photo and video cameras?
Certainly: an experience like this is worth being immortalised. Ground personnel and the pilot will brief you on the safe use of such equipment.
Is it possible to smoke in the balloon?
Absolutely not. – Smoking is prohibited in a hot air balloon and also during preparation operations, for safety reasons.
The same applies to electronic cigarettes.

Can children fly in a balloon?
For safety reasons we do not board our hot air balloons with children under the age of 6 and/or under 1.4 meters tall.
I am pregnant: can I fly?
We do not take pregnant women on board to guarantee their safety.
I have a health condition, can I fly?

It depends on your condition. You must be able to hold on to the basket handles and stand on your feet unaided. Please contact us to discuss your specific situation.
