Dolomiti Balloon Festival

The so-called Balloon Week opens with the fascinating Balloon Glow: This is when the crews turn on the burners and the huge balloons are finally inflated the first day of the event. The first-class event offers, however, also a hot-air balloon race with participants from all over the world and an exciting programme with music, entertainment and various activities for children.

If you'd like, you can touch the sky and feel the magic of a hot-air balloon flight in Dobbiaco: The international meeting is scheduled every year in January and offers flights and vouchers, the perfect gift for a very special person. A hot-air balloon flight takes half a day - between inflating and deflating the balloon, and the traditional "baptism" of the balloon - the flight itself takes about an hour. The direction depends on the wind, so is not possible to determine the destination.
