Flying in La Cerdanya
Hot air balloons are one of the oldest forms of flying, captivating the imagination since their first flight in 1783. Operating on the principle of buoyancy, where the hot air inside the balloon is lighter than the cold air outside, these aerial vehicles are have developed in various types according to their design and use. Below are the main types of hot air balloons and their applications.
Flying over La Cerdanya in a hot air balloon means flying over the widest valley in Europe. Natural par excellence, the views of the Pyrenees are incomparable and unique. From a bird's eye view you can enjoy the Sierra del Cadí in the south, the Sierra del Moixeró and other more eastern massifs such as the Tossa d'Alp and the Pedraforca massif. The scenic beauty is very evident, from sub-Mediterranean forests, beech forests, boreal red pine forests and black pine and spruce forests to alpine meadows, it will also allow us to see meadows with grazing animals.
The Different Types of Hot Air Balloons
Balloon Ride (Tourist)
Ride balloons are the most common for the general public. Used to offer recreational flights, these balloons allow people to experience the sensation of flying smoothly and calmly. The baskets can accommodate small couples to larger groups of passengers, offering spectacular panoramic views of the landscape.
These flights usually take place during the early morning hours or at dusk, when weather conditions are most favorable. Tourist balloons are popular in regions with picturesque landscapes, such as Tuscany, Cappadocia or the Montseny region and throughout Catalonia.
