The broad Cerdagne valley reveals the relationship between villages, farmland and the surrounding Pyrenean slopes. Montgolfières des Pyrénées offers passenger flights with morning preparation and a return by ground transport. Visitors staying in Font-Romeu should check the meeting point carefully: local tourism lists Bourg-Madame or La Cerdanya airfield near Alp, across the Spanish border. These are alternatives within one cross-border flying area. Arrange transport to the confirmed location rather than the resort centre. Wind determines the airborne route; leave room afterwards for a leisurely breakfast instead of a tightly timed booking.
