Full description

Prepare to hold your breath in front of a majestic landscape stretching as far as MountEtna. Take off in a hot-air balloon over central Sicily and experience this magic!

During the one-hour flight, you will fly over the Dittaino Valley, the province of Enna and the village of Agira, one of its most enchanting towns. Depending on the direction of the wind, each experience will be absolutely unique.

After landing, a small refreshment awaits you, to toast all the beauty you will have encountered on this 'walk in the skies'.

What we will do

We will meet at the designated take-off site, near Dittaino (EN). The meeting will be early in the morning to take advantage of the best thermal conditions of the day. If you wish to be present when the balloon is inflated and take some photos before take-off, we advise you to arrive a little early.

Before the experience, we will follow a briefing in which we will be given all the necessary instructions for the flight. Once ready, we will board the wicker basket and prepare for take-off. At our side, an experienced pilot will ensure that the flight is safe and memorable for all passengers.

Propelled aloft by the burner, we will rise into the sky and begin to fly over the landscapes of central Sicily. The wind will give direction to our journey, making our experience unique and unrepeatable.

From above we will be able to admire the scenery of the province of Enna, with the Dittaino Valley andMount Etna in the distance. Depending on how the wind blows, we could also fly over Agira, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy.

After about an hour's flight, it will be time to get back down to earth. At the landing point, the staff will have already prepared a breakfast for us, to seal this wonderful experience with a toast.

At the end we will be taken by pick-up back to the starting point. The total duration of the experience, including briefing, balloon flight, various transfers and refreshments, will be approximately 3 hours.
