Before take-off, you will witness the preparation phase of the hot-air balloon, when the balloon will begin to inflate and take shape thanks to thehot air coming from the large burner flame. Then you will have a short briefing on behaviour and safety rules and sit inside the wicker basket, ready to take off.

You will fly, carried by the wind , and admire a varied and peculiar landscape: from the town of Gravina with its many churches, to the Karst canyon that develops in the surrounding area, to theAlta Murgia mountains and the rock constructions that characterise the area.

On landing, the ground staff will welcome you with an aperitif based on local products and will hand you yourflight certificate.
