A hot air balloon flight near Zakopane is an experience that stays with you long after you land. Drifting slowly across the sky in the basket of a hot air balloon, with the Tatra Mountains on the horizon and the Orawa-Nowy Targ basin spread out below, the world looks and feels entirely different.
Flights typically take place at sunrise or in the late afternoon, when the winds are calmest and the light is most beautiful. That means golden hour views as standard — the kind of colours and atmosphere you can't plan for on the ground. Romantic, exciting, but serene.
Your experienced pilot handles everything while you enjoy in the scenery. The basket moves with the wind, so there's no engine noise, no turbulence — just the occasional burst of the burner and the quiet of the sky. Weather conditions determine the route, speed, and exact number of passengers on each flight, but ideal flying conditions are common throughout the year.
Whether it's a romantic surprise for a partner, a birthday gift, or simply something extraordinary to add to your Zakopane trip — a hot air balloon Zakopane flight is as good as it gets. We operate every flight with experienced, fully trained pilots and we hold a complete AO certificate for hot air balloon flights.

Weather is everything in ballooning. If conditions don’t allow a safe flight, your date will be rescheduled at no extra cost. Your voucher is valid for a full 365 days, giving you plenty of flexibility.
The maximum combined weight of all passengers is 250 kg (550 lbs). Weather conditions may also affect the number of passengers that can fly on a given day.
You’re always close to the burner, which gives off significant heat. However, during descents the temperature in the basket matches the outside air. Dress in comfortable layers appropriate for the weather and you’ll be fine.
