Full description

Experience the extraordinary thrill of a hot-air balloon flight, let the wind carry you away and look out from the wicker basket to admire the world from above for an hour.

With a hot-air balloon flight in Reggio Emilia, you will fly over the capital of Emilia at sunset, when the surrounding countryside and mountains are tinged with warm hues.

A hot-air balloon flight is an experience you should try at least once in your life. You will rely on our expert pilots to fly in total comfort and safety and, once you get your feet back on the ground, you will can't wait to leave!

What we will do

The rendezvous is 30 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Reggio Emilia; time and meeting point are approximate and will be confirmed by the pilot before the experience takes place.

Once at the site, we will have the opportunity to follow the crew during the preparation phases of the hot air balloon, culminating with the large flame coming from the burner, which has the task of heating the air inside the balloon and getting it off the ground.

After take-off, we rely totally on the wind: it is the updrafts that decide the balloon's path. On board the wicker basket, we will admire the landscape at 360°: from the crops of the plains to the Apennines, with the possibility of catching a glimpse of wild animals in the wild from above.

The hot air balloon flight will last about one hour and will end with a landing at a different point from the take-off point. When we descend from the basket, an organiser's vehicle will be waiting for us to take us back to the initial meeting point.

The activity has a total duration of about 3 hours, including transfers, preparation time and the flight.

Who it is aimed at

Flying in a hot-air balloon is suitable for everyone, you can fly from 8 years of age up wards and with a minimum height of 120 cm.

The only restrictions are for pregnant women and people with serious heart problems or limited mobility in their lower limbs.

Other information
