We are the only Italian aerostatic association equipped with a basket specifically designed for the safe transport<\/strong> of wheelchair users, allowing more than one hundred passengers with disabilities to experience the emotion of flight\u2014many of whom have come from countries such as England, Germany, and the United States, where similar services do not exist.<\/p>\n

Our accessible basket, developed in collaboration with Lindstrand Balloons, combines aeronautical engineering with inclusive design: an integrated access ramp allows direct entry with a wheelchair, while eye-level panoramic windows, a certified anchoring system, and a transparent floor section ensure safety, comfort, and a complete view throughout the flight. The basket can accommodate the wheelchair user, two companions, and the pilot, making the experience both shared and serene.<\/p>\n

Worldwide, there are only six baskets of this kind, and the one operated by Balloon in Tuscany was the very first to enter service in 2007<\/strong>, making Italy a pioneer of inclusive aerostatic aviation. A distinction we carry forward with pride and passion, continuing to demonstrate that hot air ballooning can truly be an experience open to everyone.[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#d6d6d6″ video_bg=”use_video” video_mp4=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Hot-air-balloon-ride-for-disabled-people-in-Tuscany-Volo-in-mongolfiera-per-disabili-sulla-Toscana.mp4″ background_video_loading=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”15%” bottom_padding=”15%” text_color=”light” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” color_overlay=”rgba(10,10,10,0.7)” overlay_strength=”0.8″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_divider_height=”350″ bg_image_animation=”zoom-out-reveal” parallax_bg=”true” parallax_bg_speed=”fast” shape_type=”mountains” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=”play_button_with_text” nectar_play_button_color=”Default-Accent-Color” nectar_play_button_style=”bordered_top” text_color=”default” font_style=”h3″ parent_hover_relationship=”1″ video_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RRAzhAocuLQ&t=4s”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”6%” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”6%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_color=”#FFFFFF” shape_divider_position=”top” shape_divider_height=”500″ shape_divider_bring_to_front=”true” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=”clouds”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”0px” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][nectar_responsive_text inherited_font_style=”h3″ text_direction=”default” font_size_desktop=”1.5em” font_line_height=”1.6″]\n

Wendy describes her first experience like this:<\/p>\n

\u201cA great sense of freedom<\/strong>\u2014that\u2019s what I felt the first time I lifted off. I wasn\u2019t afraid at all; on the contrary, I was exhilarated.
