2. How can I choose the date of my flight?

Together we define the exact day and time of your flight. If the weather does not allow us to fly, we will propose another date. The day before the flight, we will send you a confirmation with the exact location and time of the appointment.

Without confirmation, you cannot take part in the flight. On the day of your flight, we meet at our flight base at the Moulin d'Altwies or another location. Please make sure that we have your mobile phone number and that we have the possibility to contact you in case of cancellation. On the same day, bring your tickets (not the confirmation) to give them to the pilot.

3. Can I fly in any situation?

Certain weather conditions, such as rain or irregular winds, may make it impossible for the balloon to take off. In this case we will propose a new date for your flight. It should be noted that a hot air balloon flight generally lasts 60 minutes, however, depending on weather conditions and wind direction, the pilot may decide to shorten the flight to ensure your safety. This flight cannot be renewed and will not be refunded.

For a balloon flight you have to take two things into account :


The first thing is the speed of the wind when you take off and land.
The second thing is that a thermal wind is very dangerous for a flight.

Because the bottom of the balloon is open, a thermal wind could compress the balloon and blow hot air. For this reason, it is really important to pay attention to the weather conditions. A flight takes place only when the sky is clear and only in the morning or in the evening, because the appearance of cumulus clouds predicts the arrival of thermal winds.
Takeoff schedules vary by season and depend on sunrise and sunset times.
