DRIFT THROUGH THE FROZEN AIR, HIGH ABOVE THE JAGGED PEAKS
On many levels, hot air ballooning is an outstanding corporate ski trip activity. Exclusive air space above the busy world, gazing over remarkable granite and snow terrain and being powered by invisible thermals and winds. This serene world is totally detached from our everyday lives and fulfils a key objective of a corporate ski events – taking clients out of their everyday worlds.
Hot air ballooning is graceful and timeless, with views gradually developing and evolving as the balloon drifts through. The oldest form of human flight, there is something truly sophisticated about taking to the air in a hot air balloon. And in our digital, connected world, there is something novel and appealing about not knowing exactly where the journey will end.
HOT AIR BALLOONING PRACTICALITIES
Hot air ballooning can take place year-round, but winter offers such contrasts and rugged drama that it has to be the best season to fly. Depending on the size of the balloon and basket, multiple passengers can be carried making it a fantastic group activity for a corporate event. Champagne and nibbles are often part of the hot air ballooning experience. Adverse weather can cause flight cancellations whilst the landing sites are subject to amendments as the flight develops.
Launches are often in the morning due to access to airspace and air fields, although this allows some truly memorable scenery, lit by a morning sun. Cameras are absolutely essential to capture truly unique perspectives. It goes without saying that suspended in a basket, several kilometres above frozen mountains, requires some thick clothing.
