Full description

Flying in a hot-air balloon is an extraordinary experience to try at least once in a lifetime, especially atdawn, when the atmosphere is tinged with intense colours and the sun prepares to light up a new day.

The group flight in a hot-air balloon over the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines will offer you a stupendous panorama, to be admired in complete peace and safety, under the guidance of expert pilots. All you have to do is look out of the wicker basket, admire the natural beauty of the landscape and enjoy the peace and quiet and pure air that you breathe in these places

So, camera in hand, get ready to soar in the wind, aboard a colourful balloon!

What we will do

The meeting point is 30 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Carpineti (RE); time and meeting point are approximate and will be confirmed by the pilot before the experience takes place. We will form the group and prepare the hot air balloon together with the crew. Once the air inside the balloon has warmed up, we will be ready to take off.

We will fly carried by the wind in the direction of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine National Park. We will rise up to admire the rock formations that characterise this area, the small villages scattered in the green and the expanses of vegetation. If we are lucky, we will be able to spot numerous wild animals that find their perfect natural habitat in these areas.

Upon landing, we will refit the hot air balloon together with the ground crew, who will then take us back to the meeting point.

The activity lasts about three hours in total, including one hour of actual flight time.

Who it is aimed at

Flying in a hot-air balloon is suitable for everyone, you can fly from 8 years of age upwards and with a minimum height of 120 cm. The only restrictions are for pregnant women and people with serious heart problems or limited mobility in their lower limbs.
