Balloon flight Switzerland

Ballooning Switzerland

Experience the unique feeling of floating silently in a hot-air balloon for several hours above the natural beauty of Switzerland. An extraordinary view of Switzerland with its unique Alps, lakes and mountain landscapes awaits you on this flight. The ballooning experience begins as soon as the hot-air balloon is set up. The balloon envelope is inflated by wind machines and filled with warm air. If you like, you can help out and experience the power and impressive size of the balloon up close. Of course, helping to set up the balloon is voluntary.

One last check and your pilot heats the air in the hot air balloon until the balloon basket detaches from the ground. Your balloon flight has begun! The experienced pilot skillfully uses the wind currents and manoeuvres the hot air balloon over fields and valleys. As the hot-air balloon travels with the wind, there is no wind at all in the basket (which is why it is called ballooning and not hot-air ballooning). After an unforgettable balloon flight over Switzerland at your favorite location, such as the Zurich region, Bern, eastern Switzerland or the inner Alps in the Bernese Oberland or Graubünden, your pilot will look for a suitable field for the landing and gently touch down the balloon.

The take-off in Lienz, from the fog towards the sun, was a breathtaking experience. At an altitude of almost three thousand meters, the view was simply spectacular. The flight over the Alpstein was indescribable - you have to experience it for yourself to really understand and enjoy it. After about two and a half hours, we landed in Appenzell Jakobsbad, and this landing was also a great experience. It was amazing how smoothly the pilot initiated the landing. After landing, we cleaned up the balloon and enjoyed a cozy aperitif at the end. I can only warmly recommend this experience. A big thank you to the pilot for this unforgettable experience. Best regards Christian

There were five of us and we all really enjoyed this unique and somewhat adventurous experience. Actually, it should never have ended ... Our very experienced balloonist, K. Petronis, made this flight even more interesting and exciting. The initial assembly and final disassembly of the balloon gave us a complete insight into the flight. We really appreciated being able to do it ourselves and not just sit in a "made nest".

It was a great trip, well organized, with a pilot who always made you feel safe with his calm and professional manner. We would be happy to do it again.

Enriching experience, well organized, definitely worth the trip. We had to postpone three times because of the weather, but when it worked out, it was great, especially for the children.

Frequently asked questions about ballooning

There is no minimum age for the balloon ride. However, it is recommended that children are at least 1.20 meters tall and have reached school age. Smaller children usually get bored of the balloon ride after a short time. Up to the age of majority, we require the consent of a parent or guardian.

No special clothing is required for the balloon flight. Wear appropriate clothing for the time of year, and gloves and a hat in winter. In summer, headgear is also recommended, but a light cap will suffice.

The balloon flights are carried out in the most beautiful areas of Switzerland. Depending on the balloon flight you choose, you will take off from a different region. You can find out exactly where your balloon flight takes place in the detailed description of your favorite flight or on our location page. When registering for a private flight you can also specify a desired starting location.

The Panorama balloon flight, the Alpine flight and the Alpine crossing take place all year round. You can find out when the other flights take place in the detailed description of the respective balloon flight.

Most trips take 4-8 people. However, there are various hot-air balloons available with space for up to 16 passengers. For larger groups, several balloons are used at the same time. For a private flight you can also enjoy a ride just the two of you.

Here you can register quickly and easily online. You should register about two weeks before your desired flight date so that we can reserve a place for you in the balloon basket. Contact us if you would like to come along at very short notice. We can usually still organize something. Your pilot will inform you of the weather decision the evening before or the morning of the day of the flight. If the weather does not cooperate, we will postpone your balloon flight to another date of your choice. For longer-term bookings, we recommend our vouchers.
