Year-round Alpine Journey with various launch sites throughout the Bernese Oberland.

The royal journey in the Bernese Oberland - In the early morning hours, the hot air balloon slowly ascends into the sky, while the first sunbeams bathe the peaks of the Bernese Alps in golden light. The world below awakens, and a breathtaking view unfolds – a majestic Alpine panorama, endless expanses, and a silence that gives you goosebumps. A moment full of magic that makes everyday life seem far away. We float at 2500m, past Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, for example, and countless snow-covered, glittering 4000m peaks in the sunlight. Speechless, this vastness, this tranquility, this nature.

It was fantastic. We had actually planned the tour for last year, but it wasn't meant to be. All we can say is that it was worth the wait. Our new contact Holly was very helpful, provided us with good information, and was easy to work with. Once again, we would like to praise the selection of our pilot Astrid, co-pilot Ralf, and ground crew member Stephan. It was an unforgettable day for the three of us. Warm regards and thanks, Olaf Vogt

We had a fantastic hot air balloon flight experience over the Grisons Alps.
The on-site organization, the process, and the pilot's expertise were top-notch.

I had a voucher that we wanted to redeem over the summer in the Bernese Oberland. Unfortunately, our flight had to be postponed several times due to the weather. At some point, we didn't hear anything more from the pilot, Manfred Streit.
However, Flightbase made it very easy for us to change the flight location.
Unfortunately, this led to a minor misunderstanding regarding the number of passengers on the day of the flight, but in the end everything worked out perfectly and we enjoyed the flight with Urs Frieden from slow-fly.ch at 4800 meters.

Many thanks to everyone involved for this unforgettable experience.
