Full description

If you are looking for a unique, original experience suitable for everyone, a hot air balloon flight is for you! Let yourself be carried away by the wind and enjoy the magic of dawn or dusk as you float through the skies of the Veneto plain.

The sensation of touching the sky with your finger and watching the world from above will be priceless and you will experience anextraordinary emotion that you will not easily forget!

The flight, lasting about an hour, is the central moment of the experience, which begins with the preparation of the hot-air balloon together with the crew. If the currents of the day permit, we will be able to observe from above the splendid town of Cittadella, a UNESCO heritage site and a walled city that has remained intact since the Middle Ages. A truly unique leap into the past!

We put in the professionalism of the guides and the safety of the equipment, you put in curiosity and enthusiasm, the rest is done by the magical atmosphere of dawn.

What we will do

We will meet in Galliera Veneta, in the province of Padua, at least half an hour before departure. Together we will prepare the hot-air balloon and, once the air inside the balloon has warmed up, we will be ready to take off.

We will fly in peace and safety, captained by an experienced pilot and carried by the wind, at its speed and direction. It is the currents that will determine our route and make the flight unique and unrepeatable.

During the hour-long flight we will be able to admire from above the splendid medieval landscape of Cittadella, the lush, green Veneto plain , and the loops of the River Brenta, which wind majestically embracing the surrounding land. It will be a truly magical and unforgettable moment!

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