Full description
Climb aboard a hot-air balloon and experience the thrill of floating gently through the air as you fly over the magnificent Masino Castle, an architectural jewel set in the green hills of Canavese.
The currents will dictate the direction of the flight, but you are assured of a spectacular view of the Piedmont hills, with the Alps on the horizon.
It will be an unforgettable experience!
What we will do
The meeting point is near Masino Castle, in the municipality of Caravino (TO). Here we will meet the pilot and watch the balloon inflation show.
We will then have a briefing on behaviour and safety rules and finally take our place in the wicker basket, ready for take-off.
From the top of the hot-air balloon we will admire the 19th-century castle of Masino, a FAI property, set in a large park in a dominant position among the Canavese hills. On the horizon we will glimpse the reliefs of the Serra d'Ivrea and, further on, the Alps and Monviso.
The duration of the flight is about 1 hour and the route will be determined by the direction of the wind. After landing, the ground staff will drive us back to the starting point where we will be given acertificate of participation as a memento of this incredible experience.
The experience will last about 3 hours in total.

It is not possible to fly if:
