Full description

Live a magical experience, suspended between heaven and earth, together with the people you care about: an exclusive hot-air balloon flight.

The Val d'Orcia will open up before your eyes, revealing an enchanting panorama of rolling hills, cypress trees, the Crete Senesi with their unique profiles, and ancient farmhouses dotting the landscape.

It is the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion, an anniversary, a proposal, or simply to treat yourself to an extraordinary moment in the heart of Tuscany.

What we will do

We will meet at the take-off area in Buonconvento (SI) at first light. Our experienced pilot will welcome you and your group and direct you to the hot-air balloon for your exclusive use. If you wish, you can arrive a little early to watch the hot-air balloon inflation show.

After boarding the wicker basket and a safety briefing, we will be ready to take off. We will fly between 300 and 1200 metres in height, depending on the wind, flying over the beating heart of the Val d'Orcia.

From above we will admire the Sienese countryside, the Crete Senesi and the iconic landscapes that make this area unique in the world. We will see rolling hills, rows of cypress trees, tidy vineyards and medieval villages, including Siena and Montalcino.

After about 1 hour of flight, we will return to the ground expertly guided by the pilot who will take care of every detail to ensure our safety.

Wind conditions will determine the landing zone, generally on grassland. Here we will find breakfast (included in the fee) waiting for us. Refreshments prepared by the crew will include pastries, a plate of local cheeses and cold cuts, and a glass of champagne.

Finally, the pilot will take us back to the take-off site. The activity has a total duration of about 3 hours and includes a safety briefing, a one-hour flight and return to the starting point.
