Contrary to popular belief, you will not experience any sensation of dizziness during the flight. This phenomenon only occurs when you are in contact with the ground.
There are no medical restrictions for a hot air balloon flight, except pregnancy and persons having knees or hip prostheses or heart problems. You just need to be in good health !
If in doubt, do not hesitate to consult a doctor in order to check if you are in good physical condition for a flight in a hot air balloon.
There is no age limit to ride in the hot air balloon. The only requirement is that you must be able to stand up in the basket for about one hour, and be in general good health.
Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult and be at least 1.25m tall so that they can see what goes on above the basket.
We advise you to wear comfortable clothes appropriate to the time of year. You dont need to worry about the cold, but it might be a good idea to bring a woolly jumper since it can get chilly before a morning flight or after an evening flight. Wear preferably closed, flat shoes, and bring a hat or cap.
We have 2 balloons : one is suitable for 4 passengers maximum, the other for 6 passengers, so depending on the size of your group, we will embark in one or the other (or both !).
We plan the flight in advance and confirm it the day before if weather forecast is good. If it’s not the case, we postpone the flight. If no postponement is possible, the flight is cancelled. This is why we do not charge anything before confirmation.
Flight lasts around 1 hour but you have to add setting up and packing up of the balloon after landing, and of course, return to the starting point as well as the toast to share good moments of the flight. So it will take around 3 hours in total.
Wind is leading the path. Landing point is thus, different from take-off point. But be reassured, our team member will pick us up at landing.
