This experience, in a nutshell

The balloon of a hot air balloon, in addition to being immersed in the air, is also filled with air!


In other words, a hot air balloon is similar to a ship sunk at the bottom of the sea, with the hold invaded by water. How then can it float in the air, that is, fly?

The deception is soon solved: the air contained in the balloon of the balloons is hot, and this makes all the difference. In fact, when the air is heated, it expands and becomes less dense than cold air. In this way, hot air balloons can take advantage of Archimedes' principle and fly, just like balloons inflated with helium, which is a gas less dense than air.


And what are you waiting for to set sail with us and experience the thrill of seeing Ventotene in celebration, full of colorful hot air balloons flying in the sky!

I had already been on board the same boat and with the same skipper, so I can simply confirm that everything went well. I will definitely come back on board. Sandro was as always professional and helpful.
