Balloon Ride

Balloon Ride

Hot air ballooning is all about peace, serenity, and romance in aviation. With nothing but the wind, the pilot guides the hot air balloon across Switzerland. It's an experience you just have to have. The hot air balloon was the first aircraft humans ever sent into the sky. The magic of flight was discovered with the hot air balloon, and it still captivates us today. Hot air balloon rides have a long tradition in Switzerland, and now you can experience it too. The pilots are among the most experienced and skilled in all of Switzerland. Hot air balloon rides are super popular for birthdays, anniversaries, or marriage proposals. Enjoy the views, sip on some bubbly, and experience absolute tranquility while ballooning.

from CHF 280.-

More information

Here's how your hot air balloon ride works:

You'll meet your hot air balloon pilot at the agreed location in Switzerland. Inflating and setting up the hot air balloon is part of the experience, and you can help out if you want. You'll witness firsthand how a huge hot air balloon emerges from a pile of fabric. Once everything is ready for take-off, you'll step into the basket and ascend. After an impressive flight over Switzerland, the pilot will land in a suitable field, and after packing up, you'll head back to the starting point with the support vehicle.

Flightbase offers various balloon rides all over Switzerland. A balloon ride over Bern city or the Zurich region is just as possible as balloon rides in the Alps, Eastern Switzerland, or the Bernese Oberland. If you want a completely private experience, you can book a private balloon ride (perfect for a marriage proposal!).
