Shared hot-air balloon flight from the Rome area

Magliano Sabina

Magliano Sabina stands above a bend of the Tiber in olive country north of Rome. The balloon lifts from a field down there and goes wherever the air is going.

How the day goes

  1. Meet at the field and watch the envelope fill and stand itself up.
  2. Into the basket, and the ground lets go without you feeling it.
  3. Sabina underneath: olive terraces, the river, hill towns on their ridges.
  4. Down in whatever field the wind chose, and the crew drives out to collect you.

You share the basket with other people and you stand for the whole flight, with nothing to sit on; the private booking is the one where the basket is yours.
