Hot Air Balloon Flight over Canavese (Caravino, Turin)

Romantic take-off near the Castello di Masino (dating back to the 11th century, residence of the Valperga counts for ten centuries and now a FAI property), which dominates the surrounding plain from the top of a hill. Depending on the direction of the wind, during the flight you will be able to enjoy the varied panorama of the Canavese characterized by villages, medieval villages, cultivated fields, woods and lakes, and the morainic amphitheater from the glacial era. In the background to the west the chain of the Alps from which Monviso can be distinguished in the distance.

The flights are always different, the direction and speed are entrusted to the wind: we know where we are leaving, but not where we arrive! During the activity the pilots will illustrate to all the participants (Italian, English and French spoken) the basic principles and curiosities of aerostatic flight. The ground crew, always in contact with the pilots, follows and recovers the balloon upon landing.
Duration: Actual flight has an indicative duration of 45' / 1h00. The service lasts about 2h30 on average and includes: inflation, flight, deflation and return to the meeting point. All passengers will be invited to participate in the deflating maneuvers of the balloon, about fifteen minutes after the flight.

Flying in a hot air balloon is an extraordinary experience that is worth trying, an activity that is both exciting and relaxing, offering a breathtaking view and an absolutely unique feeling of freedom. In a hot air balloon you have the impression of floating lighter than the air enjoying a 360 ° panorama as if from a terrace. The silence is interrupted only by the breath of the burner that warms the balloon, you can fly slowly, low to the ground, skimming trees, fields and small towns or rise a few thousand meters without almost realizing it, no other aircraft offers you this versatility. When you fly in a balloon, you know the take-off point but you don't know where the precise landing point will be, this is the philosophy and also the principle of balloon flight: flying for the sake of flying without a predefined destination, indulging in the winds.
