La Garrotxa is a region well-known for having one of the most important volcanic areas in Europe. That is why we have created this experience. In order to see the volcanoes from the air with the balloon flight and learn all about these formations doing a visit to the Espai Cràter.

BALLOON FLIGHT

The balloon flight starts early in the morning (between 6:30 a.m and 8:00 a.m, according to the season) when the wind is calmer and the atmosphere is cooler and more stable.

We invite you to have a coffee or juice and some pastries, while you can watch the preparation of the balloons.

Balloon flight takes approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 30 min, the wind decides our flight path.

During the flight, we make a toast with pink cava or juice, which symbolizes the colour of the volcanoes and try a slice of coca de llardons, a delicious local cake.

Once back on solid ground, our ground team, who have been following our flight experience, pick us up in a 4×4 vehicle and take us to enjoy a hearty cooked breakfast. Bread and tomato, Santa Pau haricot beans and botifarra a catalan national dish, desserts from Cooperativa la Fageda, wine and ratafia, a local herbal liquor.

Finally, we give you a balloon flight diploma signed by the pilot.

VISIT TO THE ESPAI CRÀTER

After the balloon flight experience, you will visit the Espai Cràter. A new cultural facility where you can discover the world of volcanology.

The museum is located in the center of Olot, next to the Montsacopa volcano. This is a very special situation, as it is inside the Puig del Roser volcano.

The equipment stands out for an interactive room where through audiovisuals, immersive experiences, photographs, virtual reality or video mapping. They tell us about the volcanoes of La Garrotxa and the world and the relationship they have with their environment.

The range of knowledge that this room gives us is very wide, so it is up to each person to decide how far they want to know. From those who want a little knowledge of volcanology, to those who want to delve deeper into the subject.

An experience where volcanoes are the protagonists. First seeing them from the sky, flying in a hot air ballon ride and later learning everything from these natural formations, visiting the Espai Cràter.
