Where do you offer your balloon rides?
All of our flights launch from the same area in the South Park Valley. We have strategically located our balloon ride operations in this area so that we may conveniently service all of our guests from the Breckenridge Region, the Denver/Front Range Region, the Colorado Springs Region and the Buena Vista/Canon City/Fairplay Region from this one central location.
The South Park Valley is a National Heritage Area perched 9,000-10,000 feet above sea level located in the geographic center of Colorado. Our beautiful mountain valley offers the ultimate topography for hot air ballooning with a mixture of vast rolling hills, 360 degree panoramic mountain views and native wildlife. There are 54, 14,000 foot peaks in Colorado and 36 of them are visible from our flight area.
Are there any restrictions for your passengers?
All passengers must be in good health and be capable of climbing in and out of the basket and be able to stand for a minimum of one hour. For safety reasons we cannot accommodate pregnant women, people on supplemental oxygen or passengers over 75 years of age. Hot air ballooning is not a recommended activity for people who have trouble breathing at high altitude.
