What to expect

  1. Transylvania
    3h
    From the peaceful height of the balloon basket, guests are treated to a breathtaking panoramic view of Transylvania’s most beautiful landscapes in the Brașov and Covasna regions.

    As the sun rises, golden light slowly reveals a patchwork of rolling hills, dense forests, and untouched countryside. You’ll drift silently above traditional villages, where time seems to stand still, with small houses, church towers, and winding rural roads creating a truly authentic scene.

    In the distance, the majestic Carpathian Mountains rise above the horizon, often wrapped in morning mist, offering a dramatic and unforgettable backdrop. Depending on the route, you may also spot hidden valleys, rivers, and vast meadows, along with wildlife moving through the early morning landscape.

    What makes this experience truly special is the sense of calm and perspective—floating above one of Europe’s last truly wild and unspoiled regions, far from the crowds.

  3. Pass by
    Located near the village of Moacșa in Covasna County, Óriás Pince Hill is a hidden gem in the heart of Transylvania, offering a unique blend of history, nature, and authentic rural charm.

    This scenic hill is known for its fascinating landscape shaped by old wine cellars carved into the earth—giving the area its name, “Giant Cellar Hill.” These traditional underground structures create a distinctive cultural and visual experience that reflects the region’s heritage.

    From the top of the hill, visitors can enjoy wide panoramic views over the surrounding countryside, including rolling fields, quiet forests, and small traditional villages. The peaceful atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for relaxation, photography, and slow travel experiences.
