Västerås has been here for a long time. Rich in history, tradition, and landscapes, it has a lot to offer. One of the oldest cities in the country, it sits at the western shore of Lake Mälaren, where the plains open up, and the water stretches east toward Stockholm. From the ground it’s a city with history in every corner. From a balloon, it becomes something else entirely.

Rising above the rooftops, the medieval cathedral comes into view first – then the full sweep of the lake, its islands scattered across the surface like punctuation, and the vast agricultural landscape rolling away in every direction. The countryside around Västerås is some of the most open in the Mälaren valley – wide skies, quiet farmland, and waterways that catch the light in the early morning in a way that’s difficult to describe and easy to remember.

It’s the kind of flight that gives a familiar place an entirely new perspective – even if you think you already know its every corner. With over 25 years of experience, our pilots know how to find the best of it – whatever the wind brings.

Over a thousand years of history below, and open skies above.
