Try the magical sensation of ballooning on the fantastic Italian landscapes and Tuscan Chianti, Siena, San Gmignano and Florence. Let the world glide beneath you and float on Tuscany with us.
Balloon flights with balloons in Tuscany: a unique experience.
The flight experience begins with balloon ground inflation, a moment that reflects all the charm of the flight… that someone has defined as “the pilot’s Dance”. When everything is ready, it’s time to get in the balloon basket and maybe prepare your camera or gopro.
The flights last from 45 minutes to one hour and a half, during which you can take, thanks also to the sweet pace, splendid pictures of memorable Tuscan landscapes. You will also admire the typical red roofs of the cities and follow the runaway races of the animals in the fields. The first lights of dawn will create a magical frame effect to the scene that your eyes are witnessing. During the flight you can learn more about the territory and its history from the pilot’s tales.
LAUNCH SITES
CHIANTI
Known in the world for its wine, Chianti is a region characterized by its rolling hills, on which alternate with vineyards, forests and the typical villages of Tuscany. Number one choice of our passengers.
SIENA
As soon as it takes off in a balloon to one of the first things that you will see will be the famous Piazza del Campo, one of the Palio. And it will only be the beginning, all Siena and its landscapes await you…
SAN GIMIGNANO
The medieval skyline of San Gimignano is a breathtaking spectacle from the ground and even more if seen from a basket of a hot air balloon.
Can’t miss it.
FLORENCE
Our balloon flights to Florence depart near the river Arno. Immediately after the city will reveal itself under your eyes, and the more you will continue the journey the more you will remain speechless.
