An unforgettable experience with an experienced, approachable, and friendly pilot. I would do it again.
Susanne Herzig07.09.2026
It was a once-in-a-lifetime, indescribably beautiful experience. Everything was perfectly organized, and we were absolutely thrilled.
We’d love to do it again anytime.

It was a wonderful ride. We felt safe the entire time. All of our questions were answered in detail and with interest.

After several weather-related postponements, we were finally able to enjoy a wonderful hot-air balloon ride.
The morning flight took off near Kernenried. The balloon floated into the rolling hills of the Emmental in the soft morning light.
Just watching the balloon being prepared for flight, the skilled landing by the experienced pilot, and the folding and loading of the enormous balloon is an experience in itself.
