EXPERIENCE INCLUDES
Live the experience of flying in a hot air balloon in the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park , one of the most interesting areas of dormant volcanoes in Europe. Flying in a balloon is a different way of traveling, it is floating in the air, in calm and silence. Feel the sensation of absolute freedom, serenity and adventurous spirit. Ideal for nature lovers and for people looking for new sensations, such as contemplating the landscape from a bird’s eye view with a 360º panorama . On clear days, we can see Montserrat, the Mediterranean Sea, Pedraforca, Canigó, Montseny … Always with the Pyrenees in the background and the volcanoes under our feet. The activity starts early in the morning (between 6.30 am and 8.00 am, depending on the time of year). It is the time when the atmosphere is colder and more stable and the wind calmer. We are at the Vol de Coloms facilities, next to the Croscat volcano , where we have the take-off field.
You can have a coffee and eat some pastries before flying in a balloon, while you observe, take pictures or help us in the preparation of the balloon. All our baskets have a door, so they are accessible to all kinds of people. The wind sets the course for our balloon flight, which lasts approximately 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes . During the trip we toast with rosé cava , which symbolizes the color of the volcanic earth, and we taste coca de lardons. Once we’ve landed, we go together to have a good peasant breakfast with bread with tomato and sausage, beans from Santa Pau with sausage, desserts from the Cooperativa la Fageda , wine, ratafia and coffee. To finish the adventure we give you a flight certificate signed by the pilot.
