Dombes from the sky: a unique landscape to discover

Your hot-air ballooning experience begins at dawn, the ideal time to take advantage of the best flying conditions. You'll first witness the deployment and inflation of the balloon, a spectacular stage that reveals all the technicalities of free flight.

After a safety briefing, it's time to take to the skies for around an hour of wind-driven navigation. In almost absolute calm, you fly over the famous Dombes ponds, wetlands, forests, meadows and charming villages of the Ain region.

The light of sunrise sublimates these unique landscapes, offering spectacular panoramas, particularly appreciated by photography enthusiasts. Each flight is different and depends on the day's weather conditions and air currents.

Course of the flight :

• Welcome and briefing: presentation of safety rules and flight procedure.
• Preparation: observation of balloon inflation.
• Hot-air balloon flight: approximately 1 hour over the Dombes region.
• Landing at a suitable site, depending on wind conditions.
• A convivial moment to celebrate your first flight.
• Arrival: glass of champagne with your crew and companions, then return to the take-off site with the pursuit vehicles.

Several formulas are available:

• Flight for children aged 6 to 12.
• Adult ticket, solo, duo or trio.
• Private basket for up to 12 people (with a glass of champagne during the flight).

A hot-air balloon flight is an ideal activity for a special occasion, with friends or loved ones. It's also the perfect gift for a birthday or Christmas.
