Soar over the Southern Alps…

in a hot air balloon!

Magnificent flora and fauna offer up wild and free landscapes that thrive throughout the year in the four corners of the Southern Alps. To make the most of the breathtaking views, climb aboard a hot air balloon and get ready for a 360° experience!

Follow the course of the Drac river

Glide over the curves of Champsaur Valley

The Drac high valley, better known as Champsaur valley, offers a mesmerizing playground for lovers of the great outdoors. Just 20 kilometres to the North-East of Gap , enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the Hautes-Alpes. If you’re already familiar with the mountains, a hot air balloon ride is a great way to get a new angle on things – and you’ll see the area is just as beautiful whichever way you look at it! Climb aboard between Orcières and Pont-du-Fossé: the balloon is inflated thanks to a hot air fan and takes to the air over the Drac river, playing with the high peaks of the Écrins mountain range. You can opt for a range of packages including a maiden flight offering 360° vistas over Champsaur valley or exclusive duo package for a romantic moment for two. And to round off the adventure in style, you can enjoy a country-style breakfast…
