If you have not already taken a hot air balloon ride in the Alps there are three reasons you should. The views are simply fantastic. The burner which regularly interrupts the quiet wafting, makes steering easy and no anxiety will assail you because that burner makes the landing quite predictable.
A small town near Gstaad is the town from where the first people to circumnavigate the world non-stop by balloon set off and so it is a prime site for ballooning.
For those less ambitious of you it is possible to fly west from the town, descend for a quick drink and then return at a different altitude.
