From 10 to 14 February, Aosta will host the 7th International Meeting of Aeronauts. As the organizers emphasize, it is a "one-of-a-kind event, taking into account the place in which it passes" and "an opportunity that should not be missed by those who would like for a few hours to stop the rabid rhythm of modern life and give themselves to the winds in a basket attached to a balloon with hot air. "

Participants" will be able to enjoy nature in full silence, watching it from a height of 3000 meters, admiring the panorama, embracing the highest peaks of Europe. " About twenty balloons, painting the Waldostan sky, will be raised in the morning, at 9.30, from the central square Aosta - Piazza Shanu.

In addition, during the rally for the most experienced pilots will be organized Alps Crossing - a long flight across the Alps. "This very difficult flight, it requires special training, since the balloonists will rise to a height of 5-6 thousand meters, where the wind speed reaches 100 km per hour, and the air temperature ranges from -10 to -30ยบ."

And, finally , "special flights for lovers" with toasts and fireworks are planned for Valentine's Day
