Full description
Relax, breathe... and elevate your senses floating over Catalonia.
Change your perspective on a 1-hour balloon flight of up to 1,500 metres over the Osona or Vallès Oriental region. From Osona you'll see fields, forests and hills with the Pyrenees in the background; from Vallès Oriental, you'll enjoy views of Montseny, Montserrat and, if the day is clear, the Mediterranean coast.
A magical 3-hour experience between preparations and flight, ending with a toast... because it's not every day you can feel the world at your feet.
What we will do
We will meet 5 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point, which can be in Vic, in the Osona region , or in Cardedeu, in Vallès Oriental. The take-off area is chosen according to the weather and wind conditions, and once the booking has been made we will be informed in advance of the exact place where we will be flying. There we will be met by the flight team, who will introduce us to the activity and explain everything we need to enjoy it safely and calmly.
Then we will move to the take-off area, where the magic begins: we will see how the balloon is prepared and, if we wish, we can participate in the inflation by helping with small details. Little by little, the huge sail will come to life until it rises above the field.
The pilot will guide us as we embark one by one and, once on board, he will explain how the flight will take place and what the main safety rules are. Once everything is ready, we will start to rise delicately through the air currents to embark on a magical journey through the clouds.
For about 1 hour we will float silently at the mercy of the wind, reaching up to 1, 500 metres above sea level and contemplating breathtaking landscapes: if the flight starts from Vic, we will see fields, forests and hills with the Pyrenees in the background; if it starts from Cardedeu, we will enjoy views of Montseny, the iconic mountain of Montserrat and, if the day is clear, even the Mediterranean coast.
After landing, the team will come to meet us and, if we wish, we can take part in the folding of the balloon, bringing this adventure to a close together. Afterwards, we will toast with cava or other beverages, accompanied by a small aperitif, while we talk about what we have experienced. As a souvenir, we will receive a personalised flight certificate with our name on it, before returning by car to the meeting point.
In total, there will be about 3 hours of complete experience between preparations, flight and final celebration.
