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.
Are you looking for an original gift idea? A hot air balloon flight in Piedmont is undoubtedly a unique experience. It lends itself to any occasion, whether it is a birthday, graduation or anniversary. No specific skills or experience are required, and it is therefore suitable for everyone. A hot air balloon flight is also perfect for a couple’s experience: by booking a flight for two, the hot air balloon will be all to yourselves, and you can enjoy the thrill of a journey through the sky in total privacy.

What can I say! It was a unique experience, @ on arrival we were greeted by Mauro and his staff, kind and professional people, they explained a few things to us, then we got on board and a particularly fascinating and exciting adventure began, the peace around us and the magnificent landscape made everything magnificent. I went with my daughter to celebrate an important event for which we are the ones to thank all the staff. Important: I sincerely recommend taking a hot-air balloon ride - it really is worth it!

The flight was a present for my partner's 40th birthday, and we both enjoyed everything about the experience. The excitement of the flight, the silence broken only occasionally by the burner, the grandiose panorama on a cloudless day. We also enjoyed the preparation and professionalism of the instructor Paolo and his assistants, who were always available to answer our questions. Totally positive experience, recommended to all

An unforgettable experience, you feel like you are going back in time. The guys on the staff are very professional, as well as extremely nice and friendly. The flight did not develop much due to no wind, but it was exciting nonetheless. Beautiful was the finale where all the participants collaborated to fold the giant balloon sheet, even if it was tiring. Thanks from Igor and Vanda.

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.

It was a wonderful experience, I didn't think there was so much peace 300 m above the ground! Mauro is a wonderful pilot and person, very nice and puts you at ease right from the start. The aperitif at the end of the flight should not be underestimated. I highly recommend it!
