The place off of the balloon is carefully chosen by the pilot,
depending on wind direction and to allow overflights
of the most beautiful sites.
After inflating the giant envelope
with simple fans and, thanks to the
heat from the burners, the balloon rises into the sky.
The pilot calls

the advantage of the hot air balloon flight
Unlike other means of air transport is being able to fly
one meter high and brush the tops of trees or river beds,
as more than 3000 feets for an overview of
landscapes.

is substantially the same ground. Casual
and good shoes and a flight jacket
or a sweater for the preparation on the ground are sufficient.

After a flight of about 8 Miles and about an hour, the

sandstone of the winds, only the pilot controls the altitude of the balloon by heating
more or less inside the enclosure through the burners. It needs a
good stability in air, a temperature too high, and
and weak winds. The only way to meet all these conditions is
take off one hour after sunrise or two hours before sunset.
But luckily the dawn and dusk are beautiful times of the
day!
