Table mountains and ancient plains

The Skövde region is defined by its platåberg — flat-topped mountains unique to Västergötland, formed hundreds of millions of years ago. From the basket these geological monuments are dramatic: sheer-sided hills rising abruptly from the agricultural plains, with Lake Vänern glittering to the west. Five launch sites across the region offer flights over this remarkable landscape.

Common Questions

There's a few of us – can we be sure we'll be on the same flight?
Of course! Our flight calendar offers information on the number of open spots in each flight. Just choose one that has enough spaces for all of you and you sign everyone up for the same flight.
How many people are in the basket?
It depends – typically between 10-22 people.
Can I bring children?
Yes, children at least 130cm tall may join flights, provided they are able to safely participate and are accompanied by a guardian on board.
Can I change the flight date? What if my flight gets cancelled due to weather conditions?
Your ticket is valid for 24 months. On average, our passengers have to sign up for 2 or 3 flights before they actually fly as our flights are 100% dependent on safe weather conditions. Sometimes they fly on the 1st flight they signed up for, but sometimes it takes 3 or even 4 times before they fly. The moment your flight gets cancelled, your booking code becomes active again and you may sign up for another flight.
How long does the flight last?
We usually spend about an hour in the air. However, this depends entirely on terrain and weather conditions. Sometimes we land after just 50 minutes, as continuing the flight would require staying in the air much longer (for example, when approaching a city or dense forest). At other times, we may fly for 70 or even 80 minutes if the situation requires it. Our balloons are always equipped with enough gas to safely remain airborne for 100–120 minutes. However, you should set aside about 3–4 hours for the entire adventure. This includes a short passenger briefing, balloon setup, the flight itself, packing up the balloon, and a celebratory glass of sparkling wine shared with fellow passengers and the crew.

Balloon Flights Near Skövde

Skövde sits in the shadow of Billingen – a great flat-topped mountain rising abruptly from the plains, the kind of geological oddity that makes sense the moment you see it from above.

Below, the agricultural plains stretch wide and open, with the towns of Skövde, Skara, Mariestad, and Lidköping each offering their own particular panorama. To the west, Lake Vänern – one of the largest lakes in Europe – appears on the horizon like a second sky.

With five launch sites across the region, our pilots have the range to follow the wind wherever it leads – over ancient farmland, past medieval church towers, and out toward the water.

It’s a part of the country that deserves a long, slow look to fully take in and appreciate – and a hot air balloon flight is your chance to do just that.
