Full description
Flying in a hot-air balloon is an extraordinary experience worth trying at least once in your life!
Light as air, you will float above incredible landscapes immersed in silence, interrupted only by the breath of the burner. This is the magic of a hot-air balloon: following the wind, without a precise destination, savouring the journey in all its beauty.
Try it in the picturesque setting of the Aosta Valley, where you can admire the peaks of Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa as the valley unfolds below you, offering an unforgettable 360° view.
What we will do
The meeting is set at the Quart (AO) venue, where pilots and crews will welcome us. For those who wish to attend all the balloon inflation operations, we ask that they arrive 20 minutes before the agreed time.
After the check-in and a briefing of about 10 minutes, we all board the minibuses and off-road vehicles to reach the take-off point, which is about a 10-minute drive away. There are several take-off points all around Aosta, the pilot in charge checks the winds that morning and decides where best to take off.
Once on site, each passenger is assigned to a pilot and we take off. During the approximately 1-hour flight, we will let ourselves be carried away by the currents as we fly over the central valley of Aosta, with altitudes between 2,000 and 3,000 metres depending on wind conditions.
In any case, the view will be spectacular: we will admire the highest mountains in Europe (Mont Blanc, Monte Rosa, Matterhorn, Gran Paradiso) from an unusual vantage point. The evocative location will allow us a 360° view, giving us the chance to admire both the valley below and the imposing peaks.
Upon landing, we will fold up the balloon and return to the initial meeting point, where we will hand in our Air Baptism certificate. The experience lasts a total of about 3 hours.

Flying in a hot-air balloon is a suitable activity for anyone who is in good health, 7 years of age or older and at least 120 cm tall. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult and present parental consent.
