Balloon ride over Tyrol

A balloon flight over the Kaiserwinkl offers wonderful views of the Kaiser Mountains and the neighboring Bavarian Alps – whether in winter or in summer. Would you have known? Winter is the best season for a hot air balloon ride. The air is clear and the temperature difference between the balloon and the atmosphere makes the balloon rise more easily. And since you are travelling at wind speed you don't feel unpleasant wind.

Possibility of a ride during the annual Kaiserwinkl Alpine Ballooning or all year round directly at ABE Ballonevents.
Or buy a voucher – the perfect idea for a special gift.

How long does a balloon ride last?
One balloon ride lasts about 90 min., total time about 3 – 4 hours.

What to wear?
Light, sporty clothes suitable for the season, sturdy & flat shoes, gloves, headgear

How cold is it in the balloon?
It is warmer in the balloon than on the ground because the burners radiate heat.

Do I have to be afraid of heights?
Experience from hundreds of balloon rides shows: there is practically never any fear of heights in a balloon. The reason for this is probably the leisurely speed and the absence of "perspective distortion", i.e. the tapering edges of buildings that signal to your brain when looking down that you are dangerously high above the ground. It feels more like watching a really cool 3D movie.

How heavy can I be?
The average weight is 80/90 kg, heavier persons must notify in time.

Can children ride with us?

How do your steer a balloon?
A balloon is a non-controllable aircraft, we use the different air currents/wind directions to plan our flight.

Why does a balloon "sail"?
Because the balloon is lighter than the surrounding air mass – we "sail" on the sea of air.

How high does a balloon go?
In the Alps we usually fly at an altitude of 2000 – 3000 m, in winter even higher.

Am I going to be insured?
Every passenger is insured according to the law.
