Full description
Experience the extraordinary thrill of a balloon flight, let the wind blow you away and look out from the wicker basket to admire the world from above.
With a 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.
The balloon flight is an experience to be enjoyed at least once in a lifetime. You will rely on ourexperienced pilots to fly in comfort and safety and, once you get your feet back on the ground, you will look forward to taking off again!
What we will do
We will meet approximately 2 hours before sunset at Reggio Emilia, at a take-off point that will be chosen by the pilot according to the wind conditions of the day (the exact address will be provided the day before the activity). Once at the site, we will have the opportunity to follow the crew during the preparation of the balloon, culminating with the large flame from the burner, which is responsible for heating the air inside the balloon and getting it off the ground.
After take-off, we will rely totally on the wind: it is the ascending currents that will decide the path of the balloon. Aboard the wicker basket, we will admire the landscape at 360°: from the croplands of the plains to the Apennines, with the possibility of catching sight of numerous wild animals.
The balloon flight lasts about 1 hour and ends with the landing at a different point from the take-off point. When we get out of the basket, a means of the organisation will be waiting for us to take us back to the initial meeting point. Considering the transfers and preparation time, the activity has a total duration of about 3 hours.
Who it is aimed at
Ballooning is suitable for everyone, you can fly from 8 years old upwards and with a minimum height of 120 cm. The only restrictions are for pregnant women and people with serious heart problems or a limitation in the mobility of their lower limbs.
