Accessible Hot Air Balloon Catalonia from Barcelona

The baskets have doors. That reads as a small detail until you are standing next to a balloon basket that comes up to your chest with no way in except over the side. Camins de Vent states that all of its baskets currently have doors and are accessible, which changes who can realistically book a balloon flight. Anyone with mobility limits should confirm their own requirements with the operator first, and the planning guide on who can fly covers the general rules. The flight lasts 1 hour and climbs to as much as 3,000 feet (900 m). Barcelona is the pickup point and the pickup is optional. The balloon does not go near the city: launches are inland, at fields spread across Catalonia, and the one used depends on the day. Igualada and Manresa fly with Montserrat in view, Vic with the Pre-Pyrenees, Alp with the Pyrenees, and Verges with the Costa Brava and the Mediterranean. Cap de Creus is on the operator's list of what can be seen from up there. After landing there is a toast with biscuits, and every passenger receives a personal flight certificate. One point to weigh before booking: on this product all sales are final, and cancellations are not refunded.
