Full description
Live a unique, exciting and unforgettable experience: a hot-air balloon flight in Barolo is an ever-changing and unrepeatable journey to be experienced at least once in a lifetime.
Fly over the "Langa del Barolo", a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2014, famous throughout the world for its beauty and fine products: you will be able to admire from above the enchantment of the gentle slopes and medieval villages, interspersed with imposing castles. For about an hour, you will be able to enjoy a dreamlike panorama of vineyards and colourful valleys.
What we will do
We will take off amidst the vineyards that have made the fortune of these lands and you will be able to admire the beauty of their gentle slopes. For about an hour you will be able to admire a dream landscape from above, the multicoloured vineyards and our valleys.
The castle of Barolo and the rounded hills will enviously follow our hovering in the air. We will also be able to see other castles (Monforte, Serralunga, Grinzane, Cavour) located close to our take-off point and observe this beautiful corner of Piedmont from a new perspective. At the end of the trip we will toast tasting the typical local products, famous throughout the world for their goodness.
