Overview:
Enjoy aerial views of the mountains and coast of Catalonia on a 1.25-hour private hot air balloon flight from Barcelona. Float gently with the wind up to 3,000 feet above Montseny Natural Park and Montserrat. Celebrate your landing with a glass of cava.
Description:
Climb aboard a private hot air balloon for an intimate flight above Catalonia. Ideal for romantic couples, families or a group of friends, the balloon will be private to you for the duration of your flight, and you can even get hands-on tuition on how to fly it from your pilot.
Transfer to the launch site from Barcelona, arriving in time to help set up and inflate the balloon. Then, following a short safety briefing, rise gently with the breeze to master the Catalan countryside just after dawn.
Enjoy panoramic views of Montseny Natural Park, the mountains of Montserrat, and the Vallès Oriental. See the Barcelona skyline and the glittering Mediterranean Sea. Winter flights offer views of snow-capped mountains, while summer flights capture the golden sand of the Costa Brava beaches.
A “rescue team” will track the balloon to meet you upon landing. Then, celebrate with a sparkling glass of Cava and picnic brunch. Your pilot will also award you with a signed First Flight Certificate to keep as a souvenir.
