Montgolfiades Internationales

In the middle of winter, hot-air balloons take to the skies against a backdrop of snow-capped peaks, offering breathtaking panoramic views. Pilots from all over the world present colourful and poetic flights, while spectators can watch the gondolas being inflated and prepared. The flights, often at dawn or at the end of the day, offer exceptional light on the snow, creating unforgettable scenes. Each flight is a moment of poetry and aerial technique, allowing visitors to discover the fascinating world of hot-air balloons in the heart of the Alps.

To attend the Montgolfiades Internationales is to experience a moment suspended between sky and mountains. Nearly 20 hot-air balloons take to the skies over the weekend, offering the chance to take a flight, a first flight or simply admire the spectacle from the ground. The snow-covered Alpine landscapes magnify each flight and create unforgettable memories. Photographers, families and thrill-seekers will find this an exceptional playground. Meeting the pilots and learning about flying techniques adds an educational and interactive dimension. In January 2026, Praz-sur-Arly confirms its place as a must-see destination for combining winter magic, adventure and a unique air show.
