Hot Air Balloon Flight in the Segarra, Lleida

Context The Segarra region in Lleida features vast agricultural fields and scattered medieval castles, making it ideal for hot air balloon flights. The flight reaches up to 1,500 meters, offering sweeping views of the Segre River and the historic old town of Lleida. In March, the almond blossom season adds a vibrant, pastel-colored landscape to the scenery.

The Experience At sunrise, participants help assemble and inflate the balloon, breathing in the crisp morning air and the scent of damp earth. The one-hour flight allows for silent, peaceful gliding, interrupted only by the occasional burst of the burner. During the flight, you’ll see iconic medieval castles such as Montfalcó and Guimerà. After landing, guests enjoy a champagne toast and sample handmade sausages while receiving professional photos and a flight certificate.

Not recommended for those with acrophobia or medical conditions that prevent standing upright.

Local Context The Segarra region blends centuries-old agricultural traditions with medieval heritage. The castles stand as silent witnesses to history, while local communities continue time-honored practices such as crafting artisanal sausages and wines—perfectly paired with the post-flight toast.
