We are in the air for about an hour, depending slightly on wind and weather conditions, suitable landing spots, etc. However, you should plan for at least four hours for the entire experience.
Hot air balloons cannot be steered. They follow the wind’s direction, and you never know exactly where you will land. After about 50 minutes, the pilot begins looking for a suitable landing site.
The chase vehicle follows the balloon on the ground and aims to arrive at the landing site shortly after the balloon has landed.
We alternate between various flight regions in Zealand, Funen, and Jutland. In Jutland, we most often fly in the Silkeborg area. On Funen, we typically start in the area between Tommerup, Årslev, and Ringe. In Zealand, we set up flights in the Central Zealand region, which can include launch sites in Skibby, Ishøj, Roskilde, Jystrup, Ringsted, Sorø, Stenlille, Tølløse, Lejre, and other towns. The weather, and especially the wind direction on the flight day, is crucial in determining where we can take off from.
NOTE – The offered flight regions in Zealand and Jutland are indicative. If we can fly in the advertised flight region on the flight day, we will do so. If flying is not possible in the advertised region on the actual flight day, but is possible in another nearby region, the flight will proceed there. This ensures you get your flight on your desired day, if flying is possible at all.
The chosen launch site depends entirely on wind and weather conditions on the actual day, and is therefore only decided on the flight day itself, when it will be communicated via email and SMS.
On the flight day, you will receive information about the meeting location and time before 3:00 PM (and usually much earlier).
Balloon Flights over Århus
Most cities have one good view. Aarhus has three – but a balloon basket is the only way to see them all at once.
The bay to the east, the Marselisborg forests to the south, the East Jutland countryside rolling away to the west. Aarhus opens up differently from above.
No two flights follow the same path – some mornings the bay dominates, the water catching the early light below you; others pull you deeper over the forest and out toward the open countryside beyond. The city sits at the centre of it all, making more sense from up here than it ever does from street level.
You’ll spend about an hour in the air, around three hours from first inflation to the last of the post-landing bubbles. We launch from a site south of the city, with the exact takeoff point confirmed the evening before based on weather and wind conditions. We fly from spring through autumn.
Aarhus has always been worth the trip – but now you can have the best seat in the house.
