It is very important to be punctual on the day of the appointment. Indeed, Ballooning depends on the weather: the best conditions are early in the morning, at dawn or late evening, two hours before sunset. So, in order to make the most of these time windows, we thank you for your punctuality. | In general, we set appointments to our passengers 1 hour and 15 minutes before take-off for the evening flights and 45 minutes before take-off for morning flights. |
Weather
Ballooning is largely dependent on weather conditions. We fly only when conditions are good: calm winds, no precipitation and no atmospheric instability. The flights are early in the morning or late in the day, shortly before sunset. It is at these times that we have the optimal conditions for this activity.
In case of bad weather, your pilot will cancel the flight. You can plan the date of your flight again according to your availability.
Security
Our qualified pilots and crew share their talent and experience with you! They make every effort to make sure that our passengers have a pleasant and memorable time with us.
We provide continuous training for our pilots. Our balloons meet the highest standards in terms of safety and control.
Meeting point
The location of our meeting will be defined by the pilots according to the weather conditions, the types of flights and the regions chosen. Our flight regions
