When Christmas arrives, not everyone has a clear idea of the gifts they'll give. That's why we've decided to make it easy for you and offer some very useful advice: gift a hot air balloon ride over Empordà. It's undoubtedly an experience that will never be forgotten, and you'll find various options very close to Barcelona.

In the balloon basket


We've all wanted to fly at some point, and a balloon is perhaps one of the best ways to achieve this. To participate in the activity, the only requirement is getting up slightly early, as you need to be at the flight location first thing in the morning when atmospheric conditions are ideal.

Once all participants (the basket holds about 6 people) are at the meeting point, the pilot will provide basic instructions about how the activity works and you'll participate in inflating the balloon. Once everything is ready, you'll take off.
Some of the flight zones include:

 Flying over fields


  • Cerdanya. A perfect option for nature lovers, as this route offers views of not just the valley but also the Pyrenees.
  • Upper or Lower Empordà. From the city to Montgrí with views of the Mediterranean coast... Absolutely incredible landscapes.
  • Manresa. This route offers views of the stunning Montserrat Mountain, and the guide can share their knowledge about it.
You can also find other itineraries like Alt Urgell, Àger, Lleida, Vic, Cardedeu... There are many possibilities for you to choose your preferred one.

 Flying through Catalan landscapes


The flight duration will be approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, though the complete activity will take slightly over 2 hours. At the end of the flight, you'll receive a diploma certifying your first flight, and if you wish, for just €15 more you'll receive a CD with photos from your experience.

 See landscapes from the hot air balloon


It's only €115 in this special offer where you save 30%. It's truly worth it because material gifts often end up in a drawer, but experiences create memories that last a lifetime.
