What we will do
The meeting point for the activity is at the Cà del Rio resort in Formigine (MO). You will be welcomed and taken to the helipad, where you will get to know the pilot who will accompany you in the flight.
After an introductory briefing, you will board the helicopter and prepare for take-off. From Formigine you will fly in the direction of Bologna, crossing countryside and hills until you are struck by the sight of the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, at the gates of the capital of Emilia.
The basilica is located in an extremely panoramic position, on top of the Colle della Guardia, and with its rosy colour it stands out amidst the green of the surrounding woods. You will fly around to enjoy the view of the sanctuary from every perspective.
You will then continue towards the centre of Bologna to admire an incredible aerial view of the entire city. The activity lasts 1 hour in total, of which about 40/50 minutes of actual flight time, with return to the starting point.
