Hot-air balloon ride in Digne-les-Bains

Discover the Alps from the air

Treat yourself to a hot-air balloon ride in Digne-les-Bains and discover the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence from a spectacular vantage point. Departing from Marcoux, this flight immerses you in a world of alpine valleys, ridges, peaks, and shifting light, in the heart of a region recognized as the UNESCO Global Geopark of Haute-Provence. It’s the perfect experience for those seeking a flight that’s more rugged, more mountainous, and more majestic, while still retaining the gentle, serene nature of a hot-air balloon ride.

Why fly here?

Flying in Digne-les-Bains means immersing yourself in unspoiled Alpine landscapes from the air. From the gondola, the valleys unfold before you, the Bléone River winds its way through the hills, and the mountain ranges create an impressive sense of depth. The morning light accentuates the contrasts, highlights the textures of the terrain, and gives each flight a truly striking visual impact.

The site is particularly appealing to nature and mountain lovers. As the seasons change, the scenery evolves without losing its power: birds of prey soaring above the valleys, alpine meadows, wildflowers on the ridges, the scent of resinous pines, and the unique, rocky atmosphere of the Southern Alps.

Experiment Procedure

The meeting is scheduled for sunrise in Digne-les-Bains. The team welcomes you and then drives you to the launch site in a 4×4 vehicle. You’ll then watch as the balloon is prepared and inflated before the safety briefing. Takeoff is smooth, and the flight lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours, in the calm of the morning, with unobstructed views of the Alpine peaks.

As with any hot-air balloon flight, the route depends on the wind. That is precisely what makes the experience so charming: every flight is unique. After landing, a rustic buffet featuring regional products is served in a friendly atmosphere. Again, you should allow about 4 hours for the entire activity.
