Full description
Discover the charm of Monferrato from above with a private hot-air balloon flight reserved only for you and the people you wish to bring.
At dawn, when the sun begins to dye the hills and vineyards golden, you will board the wicker basket to admire from above one of the most fascinating areas of Piedmont, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
At the end of the one-hour flight, an Italian breakfast or aperitif at a farmhouse to taste delicious local products awaits you. A perfect ending to an experience to be lived at least once in a lifetime!
What we will do
The meeting point for the activity is in Vignale Monferrato, in the province of Alessandria ( you will be given the exact address a few days before the experience) .
You’ll be able to witness the magic of the balloon being inflated and watch the hot-air balloon being prepared up close. Before take-off, the experienced pilot will brief you on safety and conduct and help you climb into the wicker basket.
Once aloft, you’ll let the wind guide you as you admire the enchanting panorama of Monferrato from above, with its neat vineyards, majestic castles and rolling hills.
After about an hour’s flight, we’ll land at a spot determined by the wind. Here, the staff will be waiting to take you on a private transfer back to the starting point and then to a selected bar or agriturismo, where you will be offered a hearty Italian breakfast or an aperitif with local specialities (depending on the time slot chosen when booking) .
Finally, you will be taken back to the original meeting point. Including preparation, the flight, transfers and breakfast, the activity lasts a total of around 3 hours.
