Hot Air Balloon

Our activities Hot-air balloon 

Step aboard your balloon and let the wind carry you above the Aravis, Lake Annecy and the summits that frame La Clusaz. As the sun rises, the light gradually unveils breathtaking panoramas — hanging alpine meadows, unspoilt valleys and, on a clear day, Mont-Blanc in all its glory.

In absolute silence, far from the slopes and the rhythm of everyday life, savour a rare moment where time seems to stand still. Every flight is a unique experience — wonder, serenity and emotion combined — discovering Haute-Savoie from one of its most spectacular viewpoints.

Hot air ballooning from Annecy: a unique experience on La Clusaz's doorstep.

Just 35 minutes from La Clusaz, Annecy offers one of the finest balloon flight settings in the French Alps. Carried by the wind above the lake and the massifs, savour a moment outside of time in near-perfect silence — an invitation to contemplation and wonder.

Open to everyone, a hot air balloon flight is the perfect way to mark a special occasion, give an unforgettable gift, or simply experience something extraordinary alongside your La Clusaz stay.
