Full description

Flying in a hot-air balloon is an extraordinary experience, to be experienced at least once in a lifetime. And experiencing it together with whoever you want, on a private hot-air balloon, is something simply unique!

Let yourself be carried away by the wind, admiring the panorama of the city of Siena in the magical atmosphere of dawn. An experienced pilot will guarantee you 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 take-off area in Siena, 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 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 Siena, with its splendid medieval brick buildings. We will see from above Piazza del Campo, with its characteristic fan shape, the Duomo, the Torre del Mangia and the surrounding hills. The pilot will take care of everything, guaranteeing maximum safety, while we will only have to enjoy the splendid panorama.

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 pilot will take us back to the take-off site. The activity has a total duration of about 3 hours and includes a safety briefing, a one-hour flight 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.
