Ballooning in Switzerland

There are few experiences quite like a hot-air balloon flight. First and foremost, it’s the feeling of freedom that prevails as you float through the air. The first experience when the balloon takes off is unforgettable. First of all, there’s the silence you hear when you’re up in the air, regularly interspersed with the sound of the burners.

What do you need for a hot-air balloon flight? A balloon, hot air and passengers. Ballooning starts very early in the morning, when the air is still fresh and stable, i.e. without thermals. After welcoming the passengers, everyone takes part in inflating the balloon. Passengers then board the gondola. The pilot makes a final check, activates the burners, then the balloon rises gently into the air.

The view is breathtaking. How beautiful our world is, and how different it looks on a hot-air balloon flight. What’s more, you get to enjoy nature and the environment in all its beauty and without the slightest stress. Indeed, it’s a very calm experience. Only the burners are activated at regular intervals to keep the balloon in the air at the desired altitude.

For your event or company anniversary, our fleet of hot-air balloons can carry up to 200 passengers. Our balloon pilots have a wealth of experience, each carrying several thousand passengers in their hot-air balloons.

With a gift voucher for a balloon flight, you’re sure to please the ones you love. In any case, it’s an experience you share with others. Book a hot-air balloon flight in Switzerland and you’ll experience an adventure like no other.
