Hot air ballooning is an increasingly popular technical flying sport that requires real teamwork. Ballooning itself is a magnificent experience that you can enjoy all year round, as long as the wind is not too strong and there is no rain or fog. However, it’s not just a breathtaking experience but a professional sport too. The teams consist of a pilot and usually three people who prepare the flight and inflate the balloon. During the flight, the pilot tries to steer the floating vehicle in the pre-selected area by taking advantage of the winds in different directions at different heights. The winners of the hot air balloon competitions land closest to the mark in the shortest time.
