Flying in the mountains

Flying in the mountains

Château-d'Oex is renowned for its spectacular, mountainous flying area. Since 2024, it has been possible to fly every day at Espace Ballon. We've modelled the landscape and local winds and designed a flying simulator that's unique in the world. Come and try it out!

The Pays-d'Enhaut valley offers sublime scenery and unspoilt nature. Protected from the prevailing winds by the peaks of the Pre-Alps, it is a paradise for hot-air balloons, which have been enlivening the skies over Château-d'Oex since the first international hot-air balloon week in 1979.

Our passenger flights take off early in the morning from Château-d'Oex, whatever the season. Each time, it's a new experience, above the unspoilt landscapes of the Pays-d'Enhaut, Gruyère or the Bernese Oberland.  Aboard our balloons, you can make your dream come true or treat yourself to an exceptional moment.
