One of the most common questions before booking a hot air balloon flight is whether it is really safe. At Camins de Vent we are clear about it: flying in a balloon is one of the safest forms of flight that exist.
With more than 21 years of experience and zero accidents, we explain why flying in a hot air balloon in Catalonia is a safe, regulated experience suitable for everyone.
Why is a hot air balloon such a safe aircraft?
A hot air balloon has no engine, performs no abrupt maneuvers, does not turn or accelerate suddenly, and moves with the wind in a smooth and stable way. That makes it one of the safest aircraft in the world.
In addition, flights are only carried out when weather conditions are optimal, always prioritizing passenger safety.
EASA regulations: the strictest in Europe
In Catalonia, balloon flights are regulated by EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency), one of the most demanding regulatory frameworks in the world. At Camins de Vent we strictly comply with all regulations:
All permits and certifications up to date, licensed professional pilots, constant inspections of balloons and equipment, strict protocols before, during, and after the flight...
Safety is not optional, it is an absolute priority

Yes. Balloon flights can take place all year round; each season offers a different experience:
Spring
Green fields and vibrant landscapes
