You'll watch the crew inflate the balloon in pre-dawn darkness before ascending into clear skies to witness the landscape transform in golden light. The four-hour experience concludes with champagne breakfast at the launch site, combining the tranquility of flight with celebration on solid ground.

What to expect
Arrive at the hangar in darkness while your pilot and crew prepare the site. You'll observe the balloon expand to full size—far larger than expected—before stepping into the basket. The ascent is gradual and smooth. Once airborne, engine noise fades as you float silently, watching the valley emerge below as dawn breaks. The sun rises alongside you, illuminating fields and water in soft colour. After 45–60 minutes aloft, you'll descend and return to the launch site where breakfast and bubbles await. The entire outing takes four hours from arrival to departure.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, pregnancy, or significant cardiovascular concerns. Arrive well before sunrise; wear layers as temperatures drop at altitude. Breakfast is included. Comfortable shoes and casual clothing recommended.
