Activity description :

Enjoy a panoramic view of Epernay and the surrounding area on a balloon flight 150m in the air.

The balloon flies subject to favorable weather conditions. It is impossible to anticipate the feasibility of flights, and the decision to open flights or not is taken on a day-to-day basis. Please call before coming.

Course of the activity (10min):

  • After a short briefing on the instructions and rules to be followed during the flight, you will take your place on the basket.
  • The balloon then begins its gentle ascent.
  • Once at the top, you'll have the chance to catch a glimpse of the Montagne de Reims, the Marne Valley, the western slopes and the Côte des Blancs.
  • Make the most of the moment and admire the famous Avenue de Champagne, with its mansions and Champagne houses! This marvel has been on UNESCO's World Heritage List since 2015.
  • For a 100% local flight, consider the flight and tasting option! During the flight, you'll enjoy a glass of Champagne while taking in the 360-degree view from the gondola. What's more, you'll leave with your own flute as a souvenir.
  • The entire flight lasts around 10 minutes.

The Epernay tethered balloon is particularly safe, as the aerostat is held in place by multiple cables that limit its altitude and return it to the ground once the flight is complete. The gondola can accommodate up to 30 people, with a maximum altitude of 150 meters.

This hot-air balloon flight is perfect if you're visiting Epernay and looking for an unusual activity! Whether as a couple, a family or a bachelor party, this activity is sure to delight young and old alike, thanks to a breathtaking view over Epernay!

Last flight 15 minutes before closing time. You can arrive on the day of your choice at the time of your choice. Reserved tickets are not dated, and can be used for 1 year from the date of purchase.

After postponing our flight several times because of the wind, we managed to do the activity and use our gift voucher. Beautiful day with no wind. Very nice experience and pleasant feeling. Despite my sensitivity to vertigo, I had no worries. Everything is done very smoothly! A very warm welcome, with an optional glass of champagne for those who wanted it. From a height, it's another way of discovering Epernay and the surrounding area. Well organized!

We arrived in the morning at around 9.45am and unfortunately the weather didn't allow us to fly.The staff kindly welcomed us and asked us to wait and hope that the weather would improve. We took a stroll down champagne avenue and went for a bite to eat, and when we had finished all that, we found that the flight was permitted. We went to the reception desk and were allowed to fly. It was a great experience, well worth the wait, and the pilot was really nice and explained everything to us. An experience I'd highly recommend to anyone I know. Would do it again. Thank you very much. Pascal D.
