How long does a balloon ride last?

A balloon flight lasts around 45 minutes to 1 hour, it all depends on the wind speed.

But before you get to the heights, you have to prepare for the flight. And this part is a blast, and takes approximately another hour!

Pack the basket, inflate the balloon and after you land you have the whole process of collecting all the material. Of course, this is all done by professionals, but we follow everything closely!

How fast does the balloon fly?

The description that I will try to decipher for your imagination is that the balloon seems to be walking on clouds (and in some situations this can happen), so light and calm.

Its speed is the same as the winds, around 18 km/h, it is the speed of a ride on a Ferris wheel! The only difference is you don't feel like going back to the ground.

When he starts to climb, we don't feel anything, he just starts to climb and the landscape starts to open up. climbing around from 800 to 1000 meters altitude it's amazing!

Is it possible to fly at any time of the day?

No, flights usually take place early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

During winter, morning flights are around 6:30 am, 7 am and afternoon flights around 4 pm.

In the summer, however, they take place very early, around 5:30 to 6 am and in the afternoon around 6 pm.

The reason is simple and meteorological: it is at these times that the wind is generally weaker, which makes the flight safer, avoiding accidents.

Furthermore, if you have rain forecast, difficulty seeing or strong wind, the flight is also canceled.

Pilots need good visibility, so on days with a lot of fog, there are no flights either.

If the flight is scheduled and there are no weather conditions for the flight on the day, two situations may occur:

• reschedule the flight
• refund the amount paid.

Balloon flight – restrictions

For security reasons, it is not allowed:

• Children under 6 years old (some companies) others speak under 4 years old;
• Pregnant women;
• Acrophobic (fear of heights);
• People with some very serious motor difficulties.

Depending on the company, they may place more or less restrictions.
