A hot air balloon flight itself is a calm and peaceful experience. Even when flying in stronger winds, you don’t feel the speed — the balloon remains stable, as from the moment of take-off, it becomes “a part of the air.” That’s why nobody in the balloon feels fear of heights. Everything feels natural, and time seems to pass much faster. However, the most sensitive moments are take-off and landing. While the pilot can usually control the balloon well during take-off — choosing the right location depending on wind direction and speed — landing always requires proper preparation. Our pilots always explain this clearly to all passengers before the flight. Every passenger has the opportunity to enter the basket before the flight. The landing position is carefully practised with everyone — both before and during the flight.
When following all the instructions carefully, landing often turns out to be the most exciting part of the entire flight.
