What kinds of hot air balloon flights are available in Cuneo?

There are three different types of balloon flights available here:

• The most commonly picked is the shared free flight. On this flight, you will be sharing a basket with other passengers. Small groups of 6 to 10 passengers are typical and are very reasonably priced.

• An exclusive flight allows you to fly with the person of your choice. Flying as a couple or as a family has never been easier.

• The anchored flight entails a balloon flight but while it is anchored to the ground. Soar above the ground at a height of 30 metres! This option is unique and is only done in Mondov.

Are you undecided on which one to travel with or where to go? Don't worry, we've included the top places to visit and where to begin your hot air balloon tour in Cuneo and its province.

Where to soar over in a hot air balloon in Cuneo?

- Departing from Carrù, the balloon tour will take you to heights of 1000 metres! You will witness a breathtaking panorama, an area rich in gorgeous vineyards and hazelnut trees! You can also see the Clavesana gullies, the Tanaro river, and the Maritime Alps. If you have a sugar craving, you can opt for a 45-minute tour that includes brunch and a toast when you return.

- Departing from Barolo, this is a traditional panoramic flight over the Langhe and Roero, a UNESCO World Heritage site that lasts between 1 and 3 hours. Flying over the stunning Langhe vineyards and the stately Castello di Barolo will be the highlight of your experience. This is an excellent location for a romantic getaway. We recommend the special flight, meant for couples for an exclusive experience. This is a couples-only activity that includes a high-altitude toast, a brunch prepared with local produce, a certificate of participation, and photo and video services.

- Located just 80 kilometres from Turin, Mondovì is a perfect city for balloon flights due to its pleasant climate all year. Here, flights are offered during the weekdays and the weekends!

Theoretical and practical training are held throughout the year in Mondovì for those who want to learn how to pilot a hot air balloon. You will be able to earn the PPL certification (Private Pilot License) through these classes, which will last approximately 10 days. The courses comprise 6 hours of flying with the instructor followed by an English examiner's pilot exam.

Canale D'Alba and Bene Vagienna are also good places to start your balloon journey.

Your flights can include a photo and video service in all of these places, providing you with a memorable experience of Cuneo from above. There's also the option of bringing your children along! The prices set for kids to come aboard the flight are significantly lower, so take advantage of this!

This activity is perfect if you want to get some fresh air and see a gorgeous vista from a different perspective. It doesn't require any prior knowledge, but it is weather dependent on the day of the activity.

Cuneo and its hot air balloons are ready to welcome you!
