What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation early morning, driven to the launch site, and briefed before boarding your private basket. The hour-long flight drifts across Pyrenean valleys and ridges at varying altitudes—expect sweeping mountain views, silence broken only by occasional burner roars, and a slow, meditative pace. Landing happens in open countryside. Back on solid ground, the crew pours champagne and passes round biscuits whilst you catch your breath and digest the views. Your certificate and curated photos arrive afterwards.
Good to know
Contact the operator two days ahead to confirm exact meeting time and location. Wear casual, flat shoes—no heels. Pregnant travellers should sit this one out. Service animals and adapted infant seats are welcome. Wheelchair users must notify them beforehand so they deploy an accessible basket.
