Your hot-air balloon ride in Lucerne
This hot-air balloon ride is much more than just a ride—it’s an exclusive experience you won’t find anywhere else. Your adventure begins where others can only watch: you’ll meet your pilot right in the heart of Lucerne. Thanks to access to a private launch site located directly within the city limits, there’s no need for a long drive to the outskirts—you’ll take off right from the spot with the best view.
A Collaborative Effort Before Takeoff
Here, you’re part of the team right from the start. Together with the pilot, you’ll prepare the balloon for the journey. It’s a magical moment when the burner warms the cool morning air and the huge envelope slowly rises above you.

The City of Lights at Your Feet
As the city below you slowly comes to life, you gain altitude. You look down upon the historic old town, the KKL, and the deep-blue waters of Lake Lucerne.
