From the sky, you will enjoy unforgettable landscapes that are difficult to describe, from a completely new perspective during an exciting hot air balloon flight at the foot of Mount Etna. The experience is available either as an individual ticket for a shared group flight or as an exclusive flight for up to 5 people, depending on the option selected.
The flight takes place at sunrise or sunset, the most picturesque times of the day, when the light enhances the beauty of the landscape.
You will fly at low altitude over volcanic territories and unspoiled nature, enjoying a unique experience amidst silence and spectacular views. The balloon moves with the wind, and the pilot can only vary the altitude to follow the currents.
The experience begins with an introductory briefing during which the pilot explains how the balloon is assembled and the dynamics of the flight. The total duration is approximately 3 hours, of which about 1 hour is actual flight time, and the route may vary depending on weather conditions. At the end, there is a farewell drink and the certificate is issued.
Two types of experience are available:
