Dobbiaco is the base for this winter gathering in South Tyrol. The published dates cover five days, but the mountains and winter weather determine which flights can take place. Check the daily instructions before heading to a launch site.

The organiser lists a passenger price of €290 for approximately one hour of flying. Its published tariff adds €99 for an additional hour. Confirm the expected duration and total charge when reserving, together with any age, mobility or equipment requirements that apply to your party.

Allow time for more than the airborne part of the experience: preparation, landing and transport back all belong to the outing. The festival website provides a programme and a direct booking contact. Use those details to arrange your visit; an old festival photograph cannot tell you where a particular morning’s balloons will depart.
