La Garrotxa Volcanoes Half-Day Hot Air Balloon Flight

1. La Garrotxa Volcanoes Half-Day Hot Air Balloon Flight

Glide with the breeze over the Natural Park of La Garrotxa, located between the Pyrenees and Costa Brava, and discover from the sky how the volcanoes of Catalonia are a paradise for nature lovers. The half-day tour lasts approximately 5 hours, with about 1.5 hours flying time, and baskets for those with reduced mobility are available, including 3-door baskets that are suitable for the elderly. See how the landscape was shaped by volcanic activity in a way that is simply not possible from the ground. You will cruise over charming valleys, thick oak forests, and tiny villages settled on the top of towering cliffs. Experience the silence that only a hot air balloon ride can offer, with 360-degree views all around you. Sip a glass of Cava and enjoy a local pancake as the breeze and your pilot navigate the route, subject to the whims of Mother Nature! The balloon is constantly monitored by a 4WD car that will be ready to pick you up on landing. Then, it’s back to the launch facilities, where you will celebrate your balloon experience with a typical country breakfast of pa amb tomàquet (bread and tomato), cold cured sausage and beans from Santa Pau, roasted sausage, Catalan wine, and a glass of the local ratafia liquor.

A great experience to have done during our vacation. The organization for the hot air balloon ride was perfect! Really clear to know what can be done via email and apps. And of course what was expected of us. TOP!! Nice and skilled pilot, together with the others of the crew, to make this balloon flight a special experience. Recommended!!!! Tjeerd Hummel, Holland

The organization and information in advance worked very well. The balloon ride was wonderful and could have been a little longer. The flight attendants were very friendly and helpful. Conclusion: again at any time - an impressive experience!

An incredible experience: beautiful views that, together with the explanations of the pilot, allowed us to enjoy an exceptional moment. At the end of the trip, a surprise awaited us: a spectacular breakfast with products from La Garrotxa.

We had a great time. The view was amazing, and the cava and cake during the flight really made it unique. The breakfast after was a perfect end to a great experience!

In good weather, very nice view over the bays and countryside
