Activity description

Experience an unforgettable, 1-hour hot air balloon flight as you float above the lush green landscapes, vineyards, and picturesque towns surrounding Milan!

Starting from San Colombano al Lambro (35 km from the center of Milan), you’ll float with the direction of the wind as you climb higher and higher, finally reaching an altitude up to 500 meters which will reward you with panoramic views of the stunning region of Lombardy. The feeling of floating in the boundless sky is a unique sensation that should be experienced at least once in your lifetime!

On a clear day, you’ll have incredible aerial views of the historic towns of Pavia and Piacenza. If luck is on your side, you’ll even get to see the towering skyscrapers of Milan! With spanning views that stretch from the Italian Prealps to the Apennines, you’ll get to have a spectacular vantage point of Po, the largest river in Italy, and the picturesque countryside of Lombardy.

As your certified pilot starts to gently lower the hot air balloon, you’ll get to fly low enough to graze your hand on the stalks of the wheat fields before making a soft landing.

After landing, you’ll get to celebrate your flight on a high note with local wine, cheese, and salami before returning to the initial meeting place.

Esperienza meravigliosa, da fare almeno una volta nella vita. Alzarsi alle 4 di notte ne vale la pena, vedere sorgere il sole mentre si è in volo a bordo di una mongolfiera ripaga le poche ore di sonno. Vista magnifica, sulle campagne e sulle colline nella zona sud di Milano, sul confine con la provincia lodigiana; vista suggestiva del Lambro, del Po e del castello di San Colombano al Lambro. Azzeccato il rinfresco a fine volo a base di un ottimo salame, pane, formaggio e vino delle cantine della zona.
