Event Ballooning Days at Lake Achensee

When colorful hot-air balloons rise into the winter sky against the backdrop of the Rofan and Karwendel mountains, Lake Achensee becomes the setting for a special natural spectacle. The Achensee Balloon Days combine breathtaking bird’s-eye views with fascinating bursts of color and a wintry mountain atmosphere.

Description

During the International Achensee Balloon Festival, the winter landscape of the Tirolean Alps is revealed from a very special perspective. When weather conditions permit, numerous colorful hot-air balloons take to the sky, offering breathtaking views of the deep-blue Achensee and the snow-capped peaks of the surrounding mountains. Those who want to experience the event up close can watch the balloons’ preparations and launches from the ground. A special highlight is the Night Glow, during which the illuminated balloons, accompanied by music, create a mesmerizing light show. It’s a winter experience that uniquely combines nature, technology, and spectacular photo opportunities.
