Full description

Imagine being able to fly in a hot-air balloon over the Chianti region, admiring the splendid panorama from the completely transparent floor. Now imagine being able to enjoy this incredible experience in total privacy with whoever you want, thanks to a private hot-air balloon. Fantastic, isn't it?

With our exclusive flight you will board the first hot-air balloon in Italy with a glass bottom to celebrate a special event in the best possible way. An experienced pilot will guarantee you maximum safety, taking care of all phases of the flight, while you will only have to think about enjoying one of Tuscany's most beautiful landscapes.

What we will do

The appointment is at the take-off area in San Casciano (FI), at first light. Here, we will be welcomed by the pilot, who will direct us to the hot air balloon with a glass bottom for our exclusive use.

We will then board the hot-air balloon via special passages on the side of the basket and, after a briefing on safety regulations, we will finally be ready to take off. The pilot will briefly explain the behaviour to be adopted during the various phases of the flight.

We will reach an altitude of between 300 and 1200 metres, depending on the wind of the day. We will fly over the Chianti region, with its green hills, endless stretches of vineyards, and splendid medieval villages. The pilot will take care of everything, ensuring maximum safety, while we will only have to enjoy the view from the transparent floor beneath our feet.

After about 1 hour of flying, it will be time to land. Wind conditions will determine the landing zone, which is generally on grass. Afterwards, we will find refreshments (included in the fee) prepared by the crew, including pastries, a plate of local cheeses and cold cuts, and a glass of champagne.

After the refreshments, 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.
