We are committed to the environment and work towards sustainable tourism.
That is why we are taking measures in this direction. More information
Vol de Colom facilities are located within the Natural Park, on one of the slopes of the Croscat volcano so we take care to keep the environment, especially the forest area, in perfect condition.
For that we have animals such as goats and sheep to keep the undergrowth clean, the garden design was contemplated with only native flora and the grass/grass that is cut is used as a marinade for the vegetable garden.
The pilots are accredited with the title of guide of the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park and during the flight they explain the history, values and other characteristics to be able to interpret the territory that is being flown over.
The products used for breakfast are local, giving special importance to local producers.

During the trip we will toast with rosé cava and enjoy a cake of pork rinds.
FLYING IN A BALLOON IS A DIFFERENT WAY TO TRAVEL, IT IS FLYING IN THE AIR, IN CALM AND SILENT.
Experience flying in a hot air balloon in the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park, one of the most interesting areas of dormant volcanoes in Europe.
Feel the sensation of absolute freedom, serenity and adventurous spirit. Ideal for nature lovers and for people looking for new sensations, such as contemplating the landscape from a bird's eye view, with a 360º panoramic view. On clear days, we can observe the mountain of Montserrat, the Mediterranean Sea, the Pedraforca, the Canigó, the Montseny... always with the Pyrenees in the background and the volcanoes under our feet, which a specialized pilot/guide will interpret and explain their history.
The activity begins early in the morning (between 06:30h. and 08:00h, depending on the time of the year) at the Vol de Coloms facilities, located between volcanoes.
This is the time when the atmosphere is cooler and more stable and the wind calmer. We are at the Vol de Coloms facilities, next to the Croscat volcano, where we have the take-off field.
You can have a coffee and some pastries before the balloon flight, while you watch, take pictures or help us in the preparation of the balloon.
All our baskets have doors, so they are accessible to all kinds of public.
The wind marks the course of our balloon flight, which lasts between 1 and 1.5 hours approximately. During the trip we toast with pink cava, which symbolizes the color of the volcanic earth, and we will taste the coca de chicharrones, a typical dessert of the area.
Once we have landed, we go together to make a good country breakfast with bread with tomato and sausage, Santa Pau beans with sausage, lateo dessert from the Cooperativa la Fageda, wine, ratafia and coffee. To finish the adventure we deliver a flight certificate signed by the pilot.
