An unusual aperitif, between sky and mountains
The Flight begins at the end of the day, when the light is softer and the landscape begins to take shape on the horizon. The balloon rises gently, letting you gradually discover the Swiss landscape. Lakes, vineyards, forests and peaks take on golden hues.
In the gondola, the atmosphere is relaxed. You enjoy a moment of absolute calm, far from the noise and rhythm of everyday life. The burner gives rhythm to the Flight, conversations become more intimate, gazes turn to the horizon. It’s an aperitif like no other.
