The first time people flew the skies was in a hot air balloon.
Do you want to enjoy the magnificent scenery of Hakuba's surroundings on board of one of our hot air balloons? The morning course runs for about fives minutes and takes you so close to the peaks, you can almost touch them. The memory of shimmering light and wild beauty of the Northern Alps will be hard to forget. The hot air balloon adventure doesn’t require any special gear, just your casual clothes is sufficient! Why not bring your dog along and join us in the beautiful morning skies!
We only arrange morning flights due to wind conditions.

In order to secure the booking, please make sure to confirm the reservation at least one day before the flight.
