Full description

Are you looking for aunique and exclusive experience to celebrate a birthday or special event?

Book a private hot air balloon flight over Lucca and spend an unforgettable day in the company of the people closest to you. You will see from above the splendid panorama of the city and the Tuscan countryside in the magical atmosphere of dawn.

An expert pilot will guarantee maximum safety, taking care of all phases of the flight, while you will only have to think about enjoying one of Tuscany's most beautiful landscapes.

What we will do

The rendezvous is at the Lucca take-off area, at first light. Here, we will be welcomed by the pilot, who will direct us to the hot-air balloon for our exclusive use.

We will then board the hot-air balloon via special passages on the side of the basket and, after a briefing on safety regulations, we will finally be ready to take off. The pilot will briefly explain the behaviour to be adopted during the various phases of the flight.

We will reach an altitude of between 300 and 1200 metres, depending on the wind of the day. We will fly over the city of Lucca and the Tuscan hills, admiring the Renaissance walls, the Serchio river and the surrounding countryside from above. The pilot will take care of everything, ensuring maximum safety, while we will only have to enjoy the breathtaking view.

After about one hour of flight, it will be time to land. The wind conditions will determine the landing zone, which generally takes place on grass. Afterwards, we will find refreshments (included in the fee) prepared by the crew, including pastries, a plate of local cheeses and cold cuts, and a glass of champagne.

After the refreshments, the crew will take us back to the take-off site. The activity lasts a total of about 3 hours and includes a pre-flight briefing, a one-hour tour and return to the starting point.

Who it is aimed at

Flying in a hot-air balloon is suitable for everyone, you can fly from 4 years of age upwards and with a minimum height of 90 cm. The only restrictions are for pregnant women and people with serious heart problems or restricted mobility in their lower limbs.
