SOLABASE
The journey starts the night before.
Balloon & stay packages
Balloons fly only at first light, when the wind is at its quietest, so you meet before dawn. Coming from far away, or by train, that is a hard hour to make on the day. With a package you sleep at SOLABASE — which is also where you meet — so however early the morning, you are already there.
Bookings are non-refundable. In exchange, if weather grounds the flight, you can change the date as often as you need for one year from booking.
Rise with the wind up to 1,000 meters and experience the freedom of true hot air ballooning. Includes an overnight stay before your early morning flight. Solo travelers welcome!
