What are the physical requirements for hot-air ballooning?

What's the appointment time and place?

24 to 48 hours before the scheduled date, we will contact you by telephone to confirm the flight or not, depending on the latest weather forecast. We'll also let you know the exact time and place of the appointment.

What to wear

Dress comfortably, with pants and closed shoes (as for a hike). The temperature on board the balloon will be 10 to 15°C higher than in the surrounding air. Don't forget your cameras!

For safety reasons, we may cancel your balloon flight, in which case nothing is lost! We will postpone your ascent and arrange a new date according to our respective availabilities.

When does a hot-air balloon fly?

To ensure the necessary weather conditions - a stable atmosphere and calm winds - the climbs take place either early in the morning or in the evening, so it's up to you whether you prefer sunrise or sunset.

Are we afraid of heights when we fly in a hot-air balloon?

No, you can't feel the sensation of vertigo when flying in a hot-air balloon, because you're not connected to the ground.

What is the balloon's route?

During your ascent, you can discover Beaune, its surroundings, the coast and the wine villages. There's no predefined route; the balloon is simply pushed by the winds.
