THE INTERNATIONAL ALPINE HOT AIR BALLOON CENTER
 

The International Alpine Hot Air Balloon Center (CAIBAC) is an association established to promote the village of Château-d’Oex and its region, as well as hot air ballooning.

CAIBAC is made up of members who took part in the creation of the first Château-d’Oex balloon in 1979. Its colors and logo are still in use today. It is also a center of expertise that has enabled local pilots to develop the art of mountain ballooning. 

The association brings together local, regional, national, and international pilots who actively support all ballooning-related activities in Château-d’Oex.

  • Support and participation in the International Hot Air Balloon Festival
  • Center of expertise for mountain ballooning
  • Transmission of know-how through the École Romande d’AĂ©rostation
  • Representation of the Château-d’Oex balloons at international meetings
  • Reception and guidance for people interested in ballooning, including how to become a pilot
