Assisi: Early Morning Hot Air Balloon Ride and Pro

• As the sun rises, soar above the gentle hills of Umbria in a hot air balloon. Departing the hotel at daybreak, a short transfer by minivan takes you to the balloon launch site. After a safety briefing with your pilot, jump into the balloon’s basket for a memorable flight above the Umbrian countryside. The flight path and duration are dictated by the winds, so be prepared to go with the flow! Take in the landscape dotted with farms and villages as it awakes and changes color with the sunrise. Enjoy the feel of the wind on your face, the thrilling roar and heat from the balloon’s burner as you ascend, and the rustling sound of the balloon’s fabric and occasional woosh of the burner reigniting throughout the ride. After your landing, transfer to a local winery, where the owners will host you for a prosecco paired breakfast, and then continue to Assisi.
