Admire the Swiss Alps in a different way: up in the air

Château-d’Oex, also known as the alpine capital for hot air balloons, attracts tourists from all over the world. They come to enjoy rides over the Swiss Alps and its exceptional microclimate.

While a stunning landscape unfolds beneath the basket of your hot air balloon, in the most absolute calm, you will be able to admire a superb 360° view of the Alps and the Prealps in Switzerland.

All around the year our hot air balloons take off from Château-d’Oex if the forecast is good. We fly over the Prealps for about an hour going wherever the wind takes us: the Gruyère region the Saanenland region or even towards the Rhône Plain.

From May to the end of October, we also make rides in the evening on the Fribourg Plateau. This tour offers a view of Romont Castle, the beautiful city of Fribourg and the Gruyère Lake region. All of these landscapes have magnificent Alps in the background.

“The experience was fantastic and the pilot Xavier is a wonderful man. He gives full confidence to the passengers, he explains and reassures the worried ones. He gives a lot of technical as well as “scientific” information during the tour. And your weather control was perfect! I intend to return in winter. Again, thanks a million for the organization, the simplicity, and your trust.”
