The falls, the river, the forest

Trollhättan is where the Göta älv drops through a series of dramatic waterfalls and historic locks on its way from Lake Vänern to the sea. From above, the river valley reveals itself: dense forests, winding waterways, and the open farmland of Vara and Vårgårda beyond. Six launch sites spread across the region mean every flight traces a different path.

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 Trollhättan

The Göta älv cuts through this part of western Sweden almost like an intentional thread – connecting Lake Vänern to the sea through a landscape of dense forest, open farmland, and the kind of industrial heritage that has an undeniably surprising charm to it from the air.

Trollhättan sits at the heart of it, where the famous waterfalls and locks have shaped the river and the region for centuries.

From a balloon, the scale of it all becomes clear almost instantly. The winding river below, the forest stretching to the horizon, the quiet agricultural plains of Vara and Vårgårda opening up as the wind carries you east or south – every flight covers different ground, and every part has something unique to offer.

With six launch sites spread across the region, our pilots have the flexibility to find the best conditions on any given day. Whatever the wind brings, this valley tends to deliver.
