Catalonia Hot Air Balloon Ride and Breakfast over the Volcanoes of la Garrotxa

About this tour

Launch from the edge of Croscat volcano in la Garrotxa and drift silently over Europe's most compelling volcanic landscape. This five-hour early-morning flight lifts you above dormant cones and ancient lava fields, with views that stretch from the Pyrenees south to Montserrat and the Mediterranean on clear days. You'll float in stillness before touching down to cava, pastries and a proper brunch, certificate in hand.

Highlights

• Silent drift over la Garrotxa's dormant volcanic cones
• 360-degree views from Pyrenees to Mediterranean coast

• Pilot-signed flight certificate as souvenir

What to expect

You'll arrive at Vol de Coloms near Croscat volcano between 7 and 8 a.m., depending on season. After a brief coffee and safety run-through, you'll step into the basket as the balloon inflates. The flight itself is serene—no engine noise, just the occasional roar of the burner and wind whistle. You'll rise gently over the patchwork of extinct volcanoes and forested valleys. Mid-flight, the crew hands up cava (or juice) and pastries to celebrate. After landing, you'll enjoy a hearty brunch at the facilities before heading out.
