Daily passenger flights in a balloon to Gosau
Ballooning is pure magic: meditative, refreshing and simply uplifting! Don’t miss this adventure and start in scenic surroundings of the World Heritage region of Hallstatt / Dachstein Salzkammergut and rise into the sky. "Fly over" snow covered woods and fields, rivers and lakes and enjoy the soothing view, which is only interrupted by the occasional roar of the burner. No disturbing noises, little wind and to top it all, the 360-degree panorama. On an airplane, the passenger looks through a small window onto a tiny portion. The balloonist enjoys a boundless view over the winter landscape of the holiday region Hallstatt / Dachstein Salzkammergut and moves gently with the wind.
Don’t let this adventure get up and away from you!
The cold, clear winter air often provides an even better view than the warmer air of the rest of the season. In addition, with appropriate wind conditions we start in the mountains and can fly over the Salzkammergut peaks. For this warmer clothes, than in summer, are obviously necessary - but do not worry – you will not be any colder than on a ski slope, because we fly “with the wind. "

Gottfried Koller, organizer of the balloon week, also knows how unique a balloon flight over the mountain landscape of the UNESCO World Heritage region of Hallstatt Dachstein Salzkammergut is: "Especially in winter, you can enjoy the snow-covered beauty of the landscape from a balloon. No propeller noise or crowds disturb the experience. That's why our balloon days are very popular every year. Registrations are in full swing – so if you still want to be there, you have to be quick."
