What Makes Our Balloon Flights So Special?

The entire adventure begins even before you take your place in the basket. The balloon crew sets up the hot air balloon before departure. You can witness the entire inflation process from A to Z. While preparations are underway, you will receive a personal briefing from the pilot. All necessary information and safety instructions are thoroughly explained. During the briefing, the pilot will also explain why ballooning is the safest air sport in the world. This way, even the most stressed passenger can fully enjoy the balloon flight, which lasts about an hour.

We conclude with an extensive aperitif at the landing site, accompanied by snacks and drinks. For our youngest guests, we also provide non-alcoholic beverages. We end this phenomenal experience in a cozy way with a traditional toast. Upon request, we also offer a traditional champagne baptism.
