Hello, how many people are allowed for 1 trip?

Sent by Olga on 30.03.2016

Depending on the size of your party we will take more than one balloon. Normaly we fly with 6 to 8 passengers in one balloon.

We are 4 adults We are interested in hot air ballooning, of the Alps, between 7 and 9 March, 2016 We wanted to know which tours do you offer , or route, duration and cost of them. How to do the reservations and what happens if the weather is bad. Where from do you recommend to fly in order to have the best view of the mountains

Flying over the Alps is possible, but can NOT be scheduled on a certain date as you plan. Because we have to consider a few very important factors like weatehr on the north and south of the alps and the wind speed and directions we can only see a flight about 2 or 3 days in advance. For this flight you have to plan 1 1/2 days of time (stay over night in Italy before we return) and it wiill cost Euro 2100.- per person. Right now we have our winter break and start flying only at the end of march. You can check out our locations where we fly and our schedule of open flights and available seats here: https://www.die-ballonfahrer.ch/en/locations https://www.die-ballonfahrer.ch/en/info/flights-available Those flights are CHF 390.- per person.

Dear Madam/Sir, We are planning a balloon trip on summer 2015 (June/July). We are having two kids with the age 2 and 6. Is it possible to take our kids along for the Balloon ride? Do we need to pay for them? We thank you in advance for your reply. kind regards, Manu

Dear Mathew Children should be 1.20 m tall to be able to look over the basket. I am afraid but your children are to small to participate in a balloon flight. Would be to uncomfortable (you would have to hold them in your arms all the time) and to unsave when we land the balloon! Then YOU have to hold on yourself - and what about the children? Not a good idea, sorry ....

I'm going to be in Switzerland July 23-27 with my girlfriend. We're going to be staying in the Murten/Bern area, but will be able to travel during our stay. We're wanting to do a hot air balloon ride. I checked the upcoming flights posted on the website and there are some during the time we'll be in Switzerland. I'm not very familiar with the geography of Switzerland and a lot of the flight locations do not appear on google maps. Is there a specific balloon flight from July 23-27 that you would recommend reserving that would be somewhat in the vicinity of the Murten/Bern area? We are willing to travel, so please inform of where the nearest flight would be.

Do you have any balloon rides that go over Marstetten - Castle Zollikofer von Altenklingen near Lake Contance?

Sent by Reidun Zollicoffer on 24.04.2014

I'm sorry but the balloon can not be steered. I can not even promise anything in terms of the wind direction and flying direction. But if you book an exclusive balloon flight then we can take off in the region that you favour.

Can we have balloon flight in fribourg? If yes, where does it start from and what are the timimg and the price for two persons?

Sent by Angana on 02.02.2014

Hi Angana We have very few passengers from the Fribourg area. This is why we only fly a few times a year from there. Best is to check out our website www.ballonreisen.ch and find out when we fly and where. The price is CHF 390.- per person all inclusive.

I would like to get a voucher for my wife and myself, but i am uncertain if i will be able to make it. She may need to take someone else with her. If i put my name on the voucher, will i be able to change this later on?

Sent by Tim West on 04.01.2014

Personal vouchers can be changed up to 2 days before the scheduled flight. So there should be no problem there.

How do I pay for this if I live abroad?The voucher needs to be sent to my son in Switzerland. If you send me an invoice it comes to England

Sent by PEGGY turner on 19.08.2013

No problem. You can order (and pay via PayPal / Credit Card) a gift voucher here: http://www.ballonreisen.ch/en/balloon-ride-e-ticket It's all in English too ;-) Just note in the remark section that we have to send the voucher direct to the passenger.

Dear Sir, my son is only 7 years old, but he is 1.3 meters high. Is it possible he can take the hot air ballon as well?

Sent by Stella on 17.04.2012

In general we suggest that children should be at least 12 years old. Why? Because for them there is "no action" with a balloon flight! Take off and landing OK, but the rest is just booring. We had children sitting on the floor playing there GameBoy. This is not what we want - right? Many parents now will say: My son/doughter is different.... Belive me, they are not! We have had it many times.
