Hot air balloon flights
Hot air balloon flights always take place either at Sunrise or before sunset. Indeed, to Fly securely, atmosphere needs stability. Neither upstreams, nor wind above 15 nots. This is why, each flight depends on weather conditions; only the pilot can decide to fly or to cancel.
The flight will be confirmed the day before via SMS or phone call. In case of cancellation, the flight will be postponed until favorable weather conditions are met.
Meeting point
Once flight has been confirmed, we meet on the field at sunrise or before sunset (timing depends on the season).
Pilot can decide to cancel the flight for safety reasons depending on real weather conditions on-site (which can be different from forecasts).
Our take-off takes place on a field acquainted by DSAC. It is located at Saint Vincent de Cosse on our B&B ; If you stay overnight, you will walk directly to the take-off platform.
Once on the field, the team welcomes you and gives you the briefing for the flight.
We recommend that passengers read instructions and advice given on their tickets
The pilot and his team, with the help of the passengers, prepare the inflating of the balloon.
Take-off preparation is already an adventure !
It’s a magical moment. Once the balloon is steady and inflated, pilot does the latest check-up before boarding.
