FAQ (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)
Concerning the balloon flight ...
1) Why, over the mountains, can we only fly early in the morning?
The balloon gets very affected by the weather conditions and consequently its safety. In the early morning the turbulence and atmospheric thermals, which are unmanageable and very dangerous, have not yet completely formed and therefore there are the best safety conditions. Ballooning activity in the mountains MUST ALWAYS END BEFORE the formation of these dangerous phenomena.
In winter, the phenomenon of thermals is more rare and therefore is possible to take off… with a few more hours of sleep!
In different areas, on the other hand, the thermals end their effects towards the late afternoon, making an evening flight possible.
Flight during sunrise has an incredible charm and colours!
2) Which height is reached when flying above the Dolomites?
Also in this case, attention must be paid to the weather conditions and the aeronautical restrictions imposed. We mainly offer flights which the take-off and the landing take place in Val Pusteria and when there are suitable situations, we can reach 2.500 meters asl
The situation is more complicated when the scheuled flight involves crossing the Alps (this occurs only in the winter season) because of various factors such as wind direction and speed must be taken into consideration. In this case, heights of about 4.000 meters asl can and must be reached
3) Can they fly anywhere with the hot-air balloon?
We are specialized in flying over the Dolomites, in Veneto and Friuli which are
the territories we know better. South Tyrol does not offer many alternatives to fly safely, and for this reason we have chosen Alta Pusteria as the location for our flights, in a unique setting in the world. The hot-air balloon is an aircraft and for this reason the provisions and limitations imposed by the laws must be observed: to this are added the difficulties of landing maneuvers of the balloon that is pushed only by the wind … These are the parameters to be taken into consideration before deciding which area to overfly
4) How is the flight experience program?
When the appointment is confirmed and you are there, tests are carried out to understand the direction and intensity of the wind: then you reach the take-off field and start the inflation operations. Before take-off, the pilot provides passengers with all the information relating to safety and behavior to be followed during the flight and the landing.The duration of the flight is, usually, about an hour (variable between 40 ‘and 70’) and once landed and the equipment has been rearranged, we make the Balloon Baptism ceremony with a Certificate of the First Flight signed by the pilot. The total duration of the experience is about 3 hours
5) How much does a hot air balloon flight cost?
The hot air balloon and all its equipment / maintenance have very high costs as well as the preparation of the pilot and crew. Therefore, flying with this exclusive means is not exactly cheap, but we are able to formulate various offers depending on whether the passenger wants to fly together with other passengers (max 4 – STANDARD FLIGHT) or wants to have a more intimate experience with his/her loved one/s.
(EXCLUSIVE and LUXURY FLIGHT). However, it always remains an exclusive and inimitable experience at an affordable cost to many.
6) Are there any particular risks in flying a balloon?
For us at LOOGO, the safety of people is the most important thing, and we put all our efforts to make sure every safety rule is followed.
The balloon flight itself has a risk component that is amplified if you do not rely on a certified Company which has experienced pilots who know how to make the right considerations before the flight, and when to call off the flight or not to take off when minimum safety conditions are not satisfied.
Certain categories of people (such as severe heart patients, pregnant women or those who have recently had a bone operation) should, despite themselves, give up on ballooning, which is anyway much less risky… than a bike ride through the city traffic!
7) How many balloons and how many pilots are there in Italy
In Italy, unlike other European countries, the ballooning is not very developed. There are no precise datas records, but it can be said that there are far fewer than 100 and also the pilots in Italy are rare… perhaps one per million inhabitants! This makes flying with this ancient and fascinating way even more exclusive.
