Sjælland from above
Sjælland is Denmark’s heartland, a landscape of grand estates, beech forests, quiet lakes, and farmland stretching from the Roskilde fjord to the Great Belt coast. Our launch sites span the island, from the northern forests near Slangerup to the gentle interior around Sorø and Ringsted. Manor houses, church spires, morning mist over meadows. The kind of Denmark you don’t see from a car window.

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 Sjælland
Sjælland is an island with more secrets and surprises than you might expect. Cross it and the land beneath you starts changing right away – beech forests giving way to soft farmland around Sorø and Ringsted, then the wide stretch of the Great Belt opening up to the west. Fjords cut into the coastline, with villages hidden away in the folds of the countryside.
The wind dictates the rules for any flight. Some mornings carry you over open fields and woodland; others bring a fjord or a stretch of water into view. Sometimes more countryside, sometimes more coast – but what everyone who flies with us agrees on is that it’s the journey itself you remember, not a checklist of what you passed over.
With over 25 years of experience, our licensed pilots know this landscape and bring every flight in safely and smoothly. Flights typically last about an hour in the air, while the full experience (preparation, inflation, and the traditional celebratory toast after landing) takes about 3 hours in total. We fly from spring through autumn, selecting the best launch site across Sjælland each day based on wind and conditions.
