What's better than the typical hour-long balloon ride? Flying through the clouds twice as long! Discover stunning landscapes on this extended, two-hour journey over the vast Catalonian countryside.
Our day begins with a sunrise pickup that takes us to the launch point, where the pilot explains how he directs the balloon by navigating the wind. The small crew lets us help prepare the balloon, filling the “envelope” with heated air. We then climb into the wicker basket, and up we go!
Each panoramic view offers something different as the pilot slowly takes us to our maximum elevation of about 1,000 m (3,200 ft). Below us, the broad plateaus of Pla de Busa meet sharp cliffs, with slopes of more than 300 m (984 ft). We float over dramatic peaks and waterfalls of the Pyrenees Mountains, and the “serrated (jagged) mountain” Montserrat, formed 45 million years ago.
We move ahead, passing over cities like the unique Manresa. Located in the center of Catalonia, it is beautifully arranged around the basilica of Santa maria de la Seu.
More than anything, a balloon ride is a calming adventure. We land feeling refreshed, and a bit hungry. Perfect time for a delicious brunch and Cava, a traditional sparkling wine, which we have at a local restaurant. Before we return you to your hotel, everyone receives a flight certificate signed by the pilot as a sweet memory of your day in the sky.
