Passenger trips

"Soft winds and gentle landings!"

Float silently in airy height over Lapland's fantastically snow-covered winter landscape. Enjoy the clear air, absolute silence and the legendary panorama look over Lapland's white mountaintops and the wide Fjäll landscape.

Driving with a balloon is one of the most beautiful adventures between heaven and earth.

After the interesting building up of the balloon you start with 3 to 4 guests for your "aviation". Dress sportive comfortably and don't forget to bring along your camera.

During the journey we climb a height of up to 800 m and glide depending on strength of the wind with a speed of approx. 50 km/h of 1-2 hours over the lovely, peaceful landscape there.

Since we move with the wind it will be absolutely calm once being in the air and there won’t be any sounds except of the burner - no cars and no people below on the ground...

A common tradition among balloonists is to have a champagne toast upon landing for every passenger who drove with a balloon for the first time. He/she is baptised with champagne and fire (don’t be afraid, it only is a hair strand), gets a personal title of nobility and is awarded a certificate for remembrance.
