Pilot your balloon !
Aboard your own gondola, wearing a virtual reality helmet, you will take off from Château-d'Oex and fly over the magnificent landscape of Pays-d'Enhaut.
Up to three participants fly simultaneously in the 3D-modelled skies of the Pays-d'Enhaut. Your balloon directed by realistic winds, faithfully reproducing the typical morning aerology of Château-d'Oex.
The controls are identical to those of a real hot-air balloon. The pilot operates the burner to heat the balloon and climb. He can also use the valve rope to release hot air and descend. Your balloon flies in realistic winds, faithfully reproducing the typical morning aerology of Château-d'Oex.
The illusion of flight is astonishing. You can hear the church bells, a truck whirring past, a herd of cows grazing peacefully. You can land your balloon and take off again, but don't hit trees, houses or power lines - you'll crash and lose points.
No piloting experience is required for this unique and exclusive experience. The simulator is accessible from the age of 16, or 14 accompanied by an adult.
Please arrive 15 minutes before your flight at the simulator entrance. This will allow you to receive instructions in peace and quiet, or to check in if you are flying without an instructor.
