Description

Context The hot air balloon flight over Empordà and the Costa Brava offers a unique aerial perspective of a region where sea, mountains, and agricultural plains meet. The area includes the Natural Park of Les Aiguamolls, the Les Gavarres mountain range, and the Ter River, with flight altitudes ranging between 500 and 1200 meters. The cool tramontana wind accompanies the launch from the meadows of Colomers, painting the landscape in golden morning light.

The Experience After a safety briefing and balloon setup, the flight unfolds in near silence, broken only by the occasional roar of the burner. From the wicker basket, passengers view hidden coves, vast rice paddies, and medieval hilltop towns as the balloon ascends and drifts gently with the wind. The flight concludes with a soft landing in a meadow near the Ter River, followed by careful deflation and packing of the balloon. The full experience lasts approximately three hours, ending with a return to the starting point and an opportunity to share memories and photos.

For Whom This activity is suitable for healthy individuals with good mobility who can climb into the basket and stand for the duration of the flight. It’s ideal for couples seeking a private, romantic experience, families with children over six years old, and nature enthusiasts or photographers looking for exceptional visual moments.

Local Context Empordà is a region with deep-rooted agricultural and cultural traditions, where medieval villages coexist with protected natural spaces. The local community maintains a strong connection to the land, visible from above, and sustainable tourism is increasingly valued across the area.
