Hot Air Balloon Ride Flemish Brabant

Explore the serene beauty of Flemish Brabant, whether it’s balloon flights over the Pajottenland or the Hageland. Spildooren Ballooning specializes in balloon rides throughout the Flemish Brabant region.

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 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 ride, which lasts about an hour.

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

Take-off Locations

Spildooren Ballooning has several special take-off locations that we use depending on wind direction and speed. This allows our experienced team to always guarantee a safe and relaxed balloon flight.

The wind strength and direction on the day of the balloon flight determine the exact locations for take-off and landing. Since this region is close to Zaventem Airport where some flight restrictions apply for hot air balloons, we adjust our take-off locations based on wind direction and safe landing direction. For specific take-off and landing requests, you can always contact our pilot Thomas Spildooren who will gladly answer all your questions.

Step aboard our hot air balloon and let yourself be carried over the peaceful landscapes of Flemish Brabant. Depending on wind direction, you can enjoy these iconic landmarks of this region:

1. The Basilica of Saint Martin in Halle: Admire from above the stately Basilica of Saint Martin in Halle, an architectural gem steeped in history.
