A Winter Balloon Ride

Hot air balloon experiences are one of the most breathtaking ways to spend a day. However, during the winter months, you will be extremely hard pressed to find anyone able or willing to take you up in the air to see what will undoubtedly be even more breathtaking sights that normal.

Whether you love or hate the colder weather, there is something undeniably beautiful about a clear, crisp winter morning and in many ways the world looks somehow clearer and brighter on such days. Therefore, when you are looking for the perfect hot air balloon experiences, you may be best off choosing to head up into the clouds as late in the autumn as possible if you want to see the world at its most glorious.

With the sun lower in the sky, the world is illuminated in a very different way over the winter months, and whilst you might not be able to find a hot air balloon experience over Christmas, many companies will be happy to fly well into November.

Autumn and winter sunrises will very often show nature at its very best and witnessing the sun come up from thousands of feet up at this time of year will be a memory that you will find hard to forget.

The main reason why a hot air balloon experience is harder to come by in winter is simply due to the temperatures. The higher you go, the colder it gets, so you will need to wrap up warm if you are planning to head for the clouds in November. However, the results will be more than worth it, and the crisp frosty mornings will look far more beautiful than even the most glorious summer day.

So if you are willing to wrap up warm and want the most beautiful and memorable balloon experience, late autumn and early winter may well be the perfect time to go.
