What better way to see the beauty of Central Virginia than from the vantage point of
a soaring bird?
We fly in the foot hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and it is often
possible to see Monticello and the Shenandoah Valley.
Weather permitting, we fly every day at
sunrise. In addition to the cool air and calm winds, absolutely essential to hot air ballooning, this
time of the day enhances the beauty and tranquility of the flight. Evening flights (two hours before
sunset) are also available. Please understand that due to different meteorological conditions from
sunrise, (excessive heat, wind and thunderstorms) evening flights get cancelled far more often
then do morning flights.
Your hot air balloon flight will average an hour and all of our flights are followed by a
champagne celebration back at the Inn where you will be given a color flight certificate. You
will also be able to see the digital pictures that were taken of your flight by our ground crew.
We also provide a movie of flying over the Swiss Alps and France for your enjoyment. The entire
experience will last approximately three hours but the memories will last a lifetime.
