It’s quiet, beautiful, and exciting: a hot air balloon ride above the snowy meadows and mountains. It’s a great way to start the day. Rides go from one to several hours in these family friendly aircraft, with their colorful envelopes, handcrafted baskets and roaring flames. It’s the only way to fly.
