What to expect
You'll arrive at the launch site in early morning (conditions permitting) for a light breakfast and safety briefing. The balloon inflates gradually—a spectacular sight—before you step into the basket alongside your pilot and fellow passengers. Expect a gentle, silent ascent as you float with the wind currents, gaining altitude over olive groves, Roman aqueducts, and Segovia's old town. The flight lasts roughly an hour; the landing is surprisingly smooth. Back on solid ground, you'll share champagne, receive printed photos, and collect your certificate.
Good to know
Wear flat, comfortable shoes and layers appropriate to the season. Pregnant travellers, those with spinal issues or heart conditions should skip this. The company confirms your flight the day before based on weather. Public transport links exist near the launch site if you're not using optional Madrid transfer.
