Description
Fly in a balloon over the volcanoes of La Garrotxa.
Experience the thrill of a hot air balloon ride over La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park, one of the most fascinating dormant volcanic areas in Europe.
Flying in a hot air 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 observe Montserrat, the Mediterranean Sea, Pedraforca, Canigó, Montseny... Always with the Pyrenees in the background and the volcanoes under our feet.
The activity begins early in the morning (between 6:30 am and 8 am, depending on the time of year). This 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 photographs or help us prepare the balloon.
All our baskets have a door, therefore they are accessible to all types of public.
The wind sets the course of our balloon flight, which lasts between 1h and 1h 30 minutes approximately. During the trip we toast with rosé cava, which symbolizes the color of the volcanic earth and taste coca de llardons.
Once we have landed, we go together to have a good farmer's breakfast with bread with tomato and sausage, Santa Pau beans with botifarra, desserts from the Cooperativa la Fageda, wine, ratafia and coffee.
To end the adventure we give you a flight certificate signed by the pilot.
