We invite you to discover, from the air, one of the most impressive European Valleys, the Cerdanya Valley. Situated on the Catalan Pyrenees side, the area offers a fantastic environment for those who like outdoor mountain activities as well as balloon rides. The Cerdanya, also called "the great Oriental Valley", invites you to travel. Its surrounding mountains is formed by the Sierra del Cadí, the Sierra del Moixeró and others pics as the Tossa de Alp. On the other side, the valley offers a dramatic panorama with the Puigllançada and the massif of Pedraforca. Believe us, flying there is really dramatic !
The activity starts at dawn with the picking up of the passengers at the meeting point. Then, the passengers have the opportunity to help during the preparation of the flight: the setting and inflation of the balloon. When the balloon is up, we take off for a ride which will last more than an hour. The wind is the master of our way up the Catalonian landscapes. The landing marks the end of our ride. The "chase crew" comes to collect the balloon and the passengers. Then we all come back to the launchfield and celebrate the balloon experience with a Cava toast and delivery of the first flight certificates signed by the pilot..
We operate all year long, mainly the week end. We can operate any day if we have a minimum of 4 participants or for those who decide to book the "private" balloon flight option.
We operate one flight per day, by the morning only, just after sunrise. Starting time varies according to season, on summer at 7:00 am and winter at 8:30 am. The whole activity lasts 3 hours in total, including up to 1 hour 1/4 minutes in flight.
The Cerdanya valley is situated in the Oriental Pyrenees, in the Catalan county, very close to the French frontier, also very close to these famous villages such as Font Romeu, Bourg Madame, Puigcerdá, La Molina and also Andorra. The valley is surrounded by the Sierra del Cadí (on the mid west) and the Serra de Moixeró (on the mid east).

In the Pyrenees, it is possible to fly all year long. In fact, flying in winter offers some interesting advantages for the passengers: the weather is generally more stable what allows a longer flight and you can get up later as dawn takes place later in the morning. Spring and Summer are good season to fly balloon and countryside offers colourful fields.
Hot-air ballooning is weather dependent. To ensure the flight, we absolutely need to have weak winds (less than 20 kmph) and no rain. In case of unsuitable weather conditions we would offer to passengers alternatives dates.
A hot-air balloon ride is a very safe activity but in order for our passengers to avoid running any risk, we advise pregnant women and children under 6 not to fly. It is important to wear warm clothes, gloves, sunglasses and solar cream during the winter season.
We offer a SHARED flight with other passengers in the same balloon, and the possibility to make a PRIVATE flight (only you in the balloon with the pilot). As an additional service, for the PRIVATE flight only we offer a transfer service from Barcelona city, pick up and drop off, for those who have no cars to reach the flying area.
