Alpine Hot Air Balloon Ride
Reviews
Report from Cornelia on 06.11.22
Dear "Balloon Team"
An unforgettable moment for us, in October 2022: from the preparatory work to "float" over the Alps in a balloon, to the clean-up work and then toasting with a glass of wine. Certainly an adventure for all those who want to leave the hectic pace of time behind and enjoy the moment with like-minded people in the here and now.
Thanks to Manfred and his team! We are thrilled!

In wonderful weather, we experienced an ingenious
balloon flight with our pilot Manfred Streit. Everything was just right - pick-up service, interesting entertainment, great views, perfect flight and landing maneuvers as well as a cozy get-together.

It was our first flight with a hot air balloon. Unfortunately there was almost no wind. But a super great experience. Can only recommend it to my friends and colleagues.

We had a wonderful day, the weather was perfect. The organization directly with the pilots regarding an appointment worked very well. Everything else went very well too: meeting point, drive, flight preparations... and a small aperitif at the end. We will have lasting memories of the trip. Merci.

Hello, on October 23rd, after almost 3 years, I was finally able to enjoy the balloon ride that I received as a present for my 70th birthday. It was a great day. I enjoyed it very much. I was very impressed by the landing in Plasselb. (Spot on) Staff very friendly. You feel very comfortable and in good hands. Thanks again for the lovely trip
Report from Die 4 vom Rösrtigraben on 13.10.21
The experience was really great, our pilot experienced and also with good knowledge of the mountains to be seen. We would definitely recommend it to others.

The two Manfred's are absolute professionals and I felt safe at all times under their guidance. We had an excellent day (Sunday, 10.10.2021, took off above Bern-Belp, landed near Bulle) and the experience of my first balloon flight was simply fantastic. Anytime and gladly again!

Wonderful balloon ride!
You could enjoy the Alps, from the Eiger to Mont Blanc. The Seeland with the three lakes.
The weather also cooperated.
The Streit family did a great job on the flight, and the aperitif at the end was very pleasant.

It was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone. Everything was well organized and the balloon ride was fantastic. At the end there was a small aperitif before we went back again.

It was a fantastic experience which we can only recommend! The pilot and his father (Manfred Streit) are both very kind and very experienced pilots and they were able to answer every question I had about ballooning.
Many thanks for the organization and this experience, a Youtube film will follow;-)!
Report by Stefano Bedon on 23.02.21
It was a great experience! The weather was perfect and everything was fine, except for the flight time. At approx. 1 hour and 40 minutes, it was less than we had hoped for and described on the website. That's why there is one star minus here.

It is obvious that Mr. Streit has excellent command of his aircraft. Their cooperation during take-off and landing completes the high-altitude experience.
Nevertheless, I do have one small comment. It would be more comfortable if there were only two passengers per side in the basket, as this would give you a little more freedom of movement. However, this is not a complaint.
I would "ride" with Manfred's again at any time.
Yours sincerely
Stöckli Alfred

It was amazing. A simply unforgettable experience. The pilot was very experienced and explained a lot and told us everything he had already experienced. We flew directly over the Stockhorn and the view from the balloon basket is simply indescribable. Even days later, I went through life with a smile on my face. I would go again in a heartbeat if I could.

The alpine balloon ride was a great experience for our family.
Many thanks to Manfred Streit and his son for the especially beautiful August 1st day.

Report by Melanie Sägesser on 28.07.20
We booked a midland flight and received an upgrade for the Bernese Oberland, which was really great.
What we found very unfortunate was that we didn't receive any information about the day's itinerary or during the balloon flight. Explanations from Mr. Streit, e.g. about the area or the balloon flight itself, would have been appropriate and certainly interesting. The aperitif also left a little to be desired (only white wine and water). During the return trip we stopped twice and didn't know why, until it became clear that we had to wait some time for other balloonists. There was no information about that either.

Report by Bieri Helena on 22.11.18
The flight was absolutely great and the preparation was very calm and ideal, flight instructor top!
After several attempts, it finally worked out.
The postponements and the all-round information
were a bit bumpy, but then it worked out.
