Have you ever dreamt of floating over almond groves, stone villages and the endless blue of the Mediterranean? Mallorca from the air is not just a landscape; it is an experience that redefines the word «peace».
If you're thinking of taking the leap (or rather, the promotion) with Volartis, Here's everything you need to know to make your first time perfect.
1. The early start is worth it
Balloons fly to the sunrise. It's not a whim: it's when the atmosphere is more stable and the wind is gentler. Watching the sun emerge from the horizon as you gently rise is undoubtedly the best reward for an alarm clock.
2. What should I wear?
There is a common myth: «it will be very cold upstairs». The reality is:
- Temperature: The temperature in the balloon is very similar to that of the ground. Plus, you have the burners right on top of it!
- Footwear: It is vital to wear closed, comfortable shoes (forget sandals). You will be on your feet and could land in a field or grassy area.
- Complements: A cap is a good idea to protect you from the heat of the flame, and sunglasses are a must once the day clears.
3. Security: You are in safe hands
It is normal to feel a little dizzy at first, but ballooning is one of the safest forms of aviation. There are no jerky movements or jolts; the balloon travels at the speed of the wind, so the sensation is of suspension, not a fall.
4. The «Baptism of Flight» and the local touch
At Volartis, the flight doesn't end when you land. In the tradition of the pioneers of the aerostat, we celebrate the success of the day with:
- Toast with cava: To celebrate your new perspective on the world.
- Mallorcan breakfast: Enjoying local products after the adventure is the necessary finishing touch.
5. Don't forget your camera, but...
You're going to want to photograph every second, but here's some expert advice: put the mobile phone away for at least 10 minutes. Feel the absolute silence, the air on your face and the immensity of the island. That memory is the one that really lasts.
Did you know that...? In a balloon you can't «steer» the course exactly; we go where the wind takes us. That's why every flight in Mallorca is a unique and unrepeatable adventure.
