Hot air balloon flight over La Dombes 1 hour

Have you ever had a open air adventure? Do you dream of a completely exotic and relaxing activity? We take you to discover the magnificent Dombes region, thanks to the activity that we suggest.

It is an exceptional flight in a hot air balloon in the heart of the department of Ain which will disconnect you from the routine and which will make you fly over unsuspected panoramas of the region Rhône-Alpes. For one hour, you will fly aboard the nacelle, to fly over near greens, famous vineyards and a multitude of ponds.

This beautiful trip takes you to the town of Marlieux, 35 minutes from Lyon. You will meet your balloonist there, a passionate person who will warmly welcome you and give you a briefing on the course of the activity, as well as the safety measures to follow. He will then take you aboard a 4×4 vehicle, to the take-off point.

Once there, you will attend the flight preparations, in which you could even participate if you wish. Then, you will be able to board, so that the pilot can finally take off. Once in the skies, your eyes will be wide open from start to finish. Not only will you visit breathtaking landscapes, but you will discover the fauna of the region by crossing some herds, birds and much more. You will thus fly over the ponds of the Dombes and you will stroll according to the wind between the municipalities of Villars-les-Dombes, Bouligneux, Bourg-en-Bresse…

Your activity will end when the ball land on flat ground. You will then be able to help the balloonist fold the balloon while you reminisce about your experience. You then get a free drink, as well as your flight diploma, before boarding our 4×4 vehicle which will have followed you, in order to pick you up and take you to the place of departure.
