The International Balloon Days at Tirol’s largest lake are now in its seventh year.

Flights typically last one hour. At the end of the trip, you will receive a certificate. The 2024 Balloon Days bring a special night of celebration and fun with a Night Glow at the car park of Hochalm Ski Lifts. The balloons stay fully inflated but tethered to the ground so spectators can get up-close views.
