Full description
The Val d'Orcia is a land of rare beauty where history, nature and tradition intertwine. Discover it from a new perspective with a group flight in a hot-air balloon at dawn.
The view will be spectacular and the landscape of cultivated fields, vineyards and olive groves will leave you breathless! Moreover, upon landing you will celebrate with a toast accompanied by the famous pecorino cheese.
The flight will last about an hour but the emotions and memories will remain forever!
What we will do
We will meet at the take-off point near Pienza, in the province of Siena, around first light (the exact time will be communicated to us the day before the activity).
We will be welcomed by the organisers, who will accompany us to the hot-air balloon and, at firstlight, we will begin to inflate the balloon. When everything is ready, we will have a short briefing in which we will be given the necessary instructions for a safe experience. Then, we will enter the wicker basket.
Once up in the basket, the wind will choose the direction of our journey through the sky, which is why each flight is unique and unrepeatable. From above, we will be able to admire the unique landscape of the Val d'Orcia made up of rolling hills, cultivated fields, vineyards and olive groves. If the wind permits, we will also fly over Pienza, a jewel set among the Tuscan hills.
After about one hour of flying, it will be time to land. At the landing point, we will find a table laid with a bottle of prosecco to toast the experience and some snacks.
Finally, we will return to the take-off point in ashared car while the crew deflates the balloon.
The total duration of the experience, including briefing, balloon inflation and refreshments will be 3 hours.
