Ballooning and scenic flights – High Country

Microlight flight

There can be no better way to see the spectacular scenery of this region than from the lofty heights of a hot air balloon. Conditions for ballooning are perfect in Mansfield, so hop in a balloon basket and watch the High Country stretch out below.

If you like aerosports to be a bit more daring, Mount Buffalo provides a spectacular platform for hang-gliding. Ask a local adventure operator to show you how to launch yourself off the rim of The Gorge and take advantage of the up-draft air currents, like the local population of eagles.

The airfield at Porepunkah near Bright offers powered hang-gliding, ultralight flying and scenic light aircraft flights. If you are serious about gliding, the instructors at Bright and Porepunkah offer full certificate courses in addition to introductory flights. Alternatively, Australia’s largest gliding centre, The Gliding Club of Victoria, is based at Benalla Airport and takes visitors on joy flights.
