Balloon ride

Duration: half day

We invite you to experience the adventure in the Valles Oriental, at only 30 minutes away from Barcelona. Taking off in Cardedeu, you will discover from the air amazing panoramas and landscapes, flying over unique points of interest in the Montseny Natural Park region. On a clear day (and we have many of those), you will have the opportunity to admire the Montserrat peaks, Barcelona itself and the Mediterranean Sea...

The Discovery Balloon Ride: Share the Discovery Balloon Ride, with a maximum of 8 people in the basket. You live the adventure in family, friends or others passengers. The basket is big enough to make you feel at ease and totally secure. It is the ideal option for a first hot-air balloon flight, with a good price.

Option - Pickup at your hotel in Barcelona: for a better service, we offer a pickup and transfer by 4x4 vehicle from Barcelona to the launchfield. Otherwise you can go directly by yourself to the meeting point close to the launchfield.

Price: 180 euros

Price including pick up: 200 euros

Additional Information

Useful information

Flying season :
In Catalonia, it is possible to fly all year round. In fact, flying in winter offers some interesting advantages for the passengers: the weather is generally more stable. That allows you to fly longer. Besides, you can get up later as dawn takes place later in the morning.

Suitable weather conditions for a good flight:
Hot-Air Ballooning is an activity directly linked with the weather conditions. To ensure the flight, we absolutely need to have weak winds (less than 20 km/h) and no rain. In case of unsuitable weather conditions we would postpone the flight to another day.

Restrictions:
A Hot-Air Balloon Ride is a very safe activity but in order for our passengers to avoid running any risk, we advise pregnant women and children under 6 not to fly.

Activity description : The activity starts at dawn with the picking up of the passengers at the meeting point. Then, the passengers have the opportunity to help during the preparation of the flight: the setting and inflation of the balloon. When the balloon is up, we take off for a ride which will last more than an hour. The wind is the master of our way up the Catalonian landscapes. The landing marks the end of our ride. The rescue team comes to collect the balloon. We then celebrate the flight at the landing spot with a Cava toast and a surprising special brunch. Passengers will eventually receive a first flight certificate signed by the pilot.

Location : Cardedeu is located 30min / 39km north from Barcelona.
