Hot Air Balloon Ride in Empordà with Globus Empordà

The rolling landscapes of Girona's Empordà region transform into a panoramic canvas when taken from the basket of a hot air balloon. Based in the quaint town of Colomers, Globus Empordà offers a floating journey that reveals some of Spain's most stunning natural sights from a gentle altitude of 500 to 1200 meters. As you ascend, panoramic views of the Medas Islands and the winding Ter River come into focus — sights that are often hidden from ground level. The flight is both a peaceful adventure and a chance to witness the region’s diverse landscape, which includes lush vineyards, olive groves, and rolling hills. The balloon ride lasts roughly an hour, but the memory lingers much longer. After landing, the adventure concludes with a celebratory toast with cava and a slice of traditional almond cake, making for a fittingly sweet end to an awe-inspiring experience.

What makes Globus Empordà stand out in the local outdoor scene is their personalized approach — with private flights for up to 12 people, ensuring an intimate and tailored journey. Their flights provide a perspective that's difficult to match, soaring above the countryside you might otherwise only see from below.
