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.

Who it is aimed at

Hot-air ballooning is suitable for everyone from 7 years of age and above, with aminimum height of 120 cm. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult with parental consent.

The permitted weight limit is 110 kg; persons weighing more are required to pay a surcharge of 50% of the fare.

It is not possible to fly if:

  • You have specific health problems, such as heart disease, severe back problems, bone deficiencies, hearing compensation problems or are pregnant.
  • You cannot enter and exit the basket independently (you have to take one or two steps and pass one leg at a time over the parapet).
  • You cannot maintain the correct position when landing, i.e. bend your knees and hold on to the handles.
  • You are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

If you have any doubts, consult your specialist and, if necessary, bring a medical certificate stating that you are fit to fly in a hot-air balloon. It is important to remove any doubts about the state of your health, otherwise it could affect your safety and that of the other passengers.
