Full description
Experience a magical moment with the person you love, your family, or your closest friends and enjoy a panoramic hot-air balloon flight over the city of Reggio Emilia.
From the top of the hot-air balloon you will fly over the Emilian countryside and the city's architecture, taking advantage of the wind currents that will take you on a unique and unrepeatable journey.
The wicker basket will be at your complete disposal for anexclusive experience in total comfort and safety together with an expert pilot.
What we will do
The rendezvous will be near Reggio Emilia, at a suitable take-off point that will be established a few days beforehand, depending on weather conditions (the address will be provided by the pilot himself). On your arrival you will be welcomed by the crew and you will be able to watch the preparation of the hot air balloon and the lighting of the burner, with the great blaze that allows the balloon to inflate with hot air and take off.
Comfortably seated in the wicker basket, you will be lifted off the ground and reach the altitude where the balloon will begin to fly with the wind. The currents will decide the direction of the journey, making the route different each time and offering evocative views of Reggio Emilia and the surrounding countryside.
The hot air balloon flight will last about one hour, ending with a soft landing. At that point, you will find a crew vehicle ready to take you back to the starting point, where the experience will end with a small toast and the delivery of theflight certificate to keep as a souvenir.
Between preparation, transfer and flight, the activity will last about 3 hours in total.
