The experience

What does it feel like to drift above a landscape instead of moving through it? The balloon lifts you gently into the air, and the world below shifts into something new: the lakes catch the light, the forests spread out in patches of green, and the villages shrink into scattered points. The silence is almost complete, broken only by the soft sound of the burner. You're carried by the breeze, not fighting it, and the pace of the flight lets you take in details a faster journey would miss.

Private transportation collects you and brings you back, so you don't need a car or directions to the launch site. Once aloft, the guide speaks French and points out the geography below: how the water reflects the sky, where the tree lines run, what settlements sit in the valleys. The flight lasts around four hours from start to finish, including the setup, the time in the air, and the descent. Children from age 5 can join, though the experience is not suitable for travelers with spinal injuries or pregnant travelers. After landing, you're offered champagne (soft drinks for guests under 18) and a small souvenir to mark the flight.
