A hot air balloon is an aircraft consisting of a wicker basket attached to a balloon that rises into the air using Archimedes’ principle. The flame from the burner located at the base of the balloon heats the air inside and allows takeoff. Upon reaching altitude, the hot air balloon begins its journey by following the trajectory of the wind. It is not possible to direct it or set a precise path, but the pilot is a perfect connoisseur of the winds and is able to use them to their advantage to ensure evocative and safe flights. Hot air balloon flights are available at all times of the year and take place at sunrise or sunset, the times of day that provide the best conditions.
Piedmont offers numerous flying spots, especially in the provinces of Cuneo and Turin. One of the most popular locations is Mondovi, in fact the hot air balloon capital of Italy. Due to its strategic location halfway between the Alps and the Langhe, it offers a truly extraordinary panorama.
For a hot air balloon flight in the Langhe, you can also start from Barolo, the quaint wine village nestled among the hills and vineyards. Other locations include Caravino, where it is possible to fly over the vast park surrounding the sumptuous Masino Castle in total tranquility.
The price of a hot air balloon ride varies depending on the type and offered services. You can choose between a group flight and private flight. In the first case you will share the experience with other passengers, while in the second case you will choose your travel companions: you can fly with your partner, family or a group of friends, up to a maximum of 8 people.
Hot air balloon flights in Piedmont start at a price per person of €195 for a group flight and €385 for a private flight.

My flight the 25th of April..MARCO, was our pilot, on a trip with my sister. That was her first balloning expierence. We were with a couple from Milan, and a teenager starting her school/work expierence. Marco kept us entertained the whole flight, his landing was spot on as he mentioned it many times, and we all agreed. Like to give a hats off to the whole team, they were great, funny and a pleasure to fly with. If I could give 10 stars I would. 10 stars to freedome as again bad weather, trip was delayed, but we worked it out.

First experience of hot-air balloon flight, which allows one to take in the sensations of landscape views and profound silence that are certainly thrilling. On board, one realises that the physical limitations of climate and flight mode greatly reduce the scenarios propagated in the illustrations.
