Balloons in the sky
Festival
From January 20-28, 2024, the Vaud ski station of Château-d’Œx, the self-proclaimed Alpine capital for hot air balloons, welcomes the 44th edition of the annual Festival International de Ballons (Hot Air Balloon Festival). Attracting dozens of teams from around the world, this spectacular and visually-stunning gathering celebrates hot air balloons with a mix of both demonstrations and competitions. It’s the perfect reason to get out of town, enjoy some fresh mountain air, and catch a beautiful show in the sky.
