Full description
Celebrate aspecial occasion with your partner, family or close friends by reserving a hot-air balloon just for you and flying over the hills of Fagagna in Friuli.
Departing from Primulacco, in the province of Udine, you will be carried away by the wind in a wicker basket and will be able to admire from above the splendid medieval castles that characterise the villages on the heights.
It will be anexciting and evocative experience that will give you the sensation of floating in the air and observing the world from the best perspective: that of the sky!
What we will do
The appointment is at dawn in Primulacco (UD), a few kilometres from Udine (we fly early in the morning to take advantage of the best conditions). Upon your arrival, you will witness the preparation of the hot-air ballo on and the lighting of the burner, with the great blaze that inflates the balloon.
You will have a briefing on behaviour and safety rules and settle into the basket with the pilot, ready to take off.
Once at altitude, the balloon will be propelled by the wind. You will fly in a natural basin created by the Alps north of Udine, carried by the wind at its speed and direction. You will rise above the hills of Fagagna, where numerous medieval castles adorn the small villages on the heights.
An environment where absolute serenity reigns, a natural habitat for many species of birds and wild animals that, if we are lucky, we may encounter during the flight.
The balloon flight will last about one hour and will end with a soft landing. Once out of the basket, an organiser's vehicle will pick you up and take you back to the meeting point. In total, between transfers, preparation and flight, the experience will last about 2.5 hours.
