Balloon flight over Vic and the Osona area

At dawn, everything changes perspective. With the first rays of sunlight, the Osona region becomes the perfect setting for contemplating everything from above.

During this one-hour hot-air balloon flight over Vic, you'll discover from a different perspective the geometry of the Plaça Mayor, the county's fields, the Ter riverbed, the Montseny, and the Sau reservoir. And, if the day is clear, Montserrat and even the Pyrenees in the background.

It is a gentle, unhurried walk. A calm journey through infinite landscapes. And when you return to land, you will have to toast with cava to celebrate the success of the flight. It will be a memory to last a lifetime.

What we will do

The appointment will be in the vicinity of Gurb Castle, where we will be greeted at dawn by the flight team. Before the activity begins, we will be able to watch the balloon being inflated, and in just 10 minutes it will rise impressively in front of us.

Afterwards, the pilot will explain how to get into the basket and we will start boarding one by one. Once on board, we will have a brief briefing about the flight and the safety rules. The take-off will be slow and very delicate, we will rise rocked by the air currents and an almost magical journey will begin, a walk among the clouds.

From the air, we will be able to see the city of Vic with new eyes, discover the geometry of the ancient walls, the cloisters and the Plaza Mayor. If the day is sunny, we can make out in the distance the Montserrat massif to the south and the Pre-Pyrenees and Pyrenees to the north, crowned by Pedraforca and Puigmal. Much closer, we will see the Sau reservoir, the Montseny or the Guilleries.

We will feel like giants as we observe the tiny villages from the heights, the crop fields, the river Ter, the forests... Everything will seem the size of a doll's house. We will forget the passage of time as we let ourselves be carried away by the pilot's explanations until the wind decides where to land.

We will return to our feet on the ground after approximately 1 hour of flight and, as tradition dictates, we will toast in the same field of arrival, in this case with a glass of cava that we can accompany with some delicious pastries. To end the experience, the organisers will take us back to the take-off point in a 4x4.

As a souvenir of the adventure we will receive a flight certificate with our name on it. The team will also send us a photographic report of the experience.

The total duration of the activity will be about 3 hours.
