Now accepting reservations for our 2008 flight season
which runs from May 1st - September 30th
The Location
Your true mountain balloon adventure begins at sunrise amidst the crisp clean air and deep blue skies of the South Park Valley located high in the Central Rockies. Perched above 9,000 feet this unique historical area offers the ultimate topography for hot air ballooning with a mixture of vast rolling hills, 360 degree panoramic mountain views and native wildlife. The launch site is centrally located for easy access from Colorado's major resorts (Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain, Vail and Beaver Creek), as well as, Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Littleton, Cripple Creek, Buena Vista, Salida and Canon City.
We provide complimentary transportation from our Summit County central meeting place in Breckenridge and also from the Fairplay area.
The Experience
You will watch in awe as your balloon is inflated and prepared for flight. Next you'll climb aboard with great anticipation as your pilot gives you a briefing and flight instructions. Before you know it, you lift effortlessly into the air and begin your peaceful journey.
You will take in amazing views of the Colorado Rockies as you fly from treetop level up to several thousand feet while traveling 2 to 10 miles. During your flight you will be serenaded with classical music as your pilot explains the history of ballooning and points out prominent scenery. After approximately one hour of magical flight it is time to return to the loving arms of Mother Earth. Next, it's time to pack up and return to the launch site for a traditional champagne toast and deluxe sit-down breakfast. At the conclusion of your once in a lifetime balloon adventure you will be presented with a framed portrait of your flight and a commemorative champagne glass to cherish for years to come.
