Home stretch for the organizers of the Château d’Oex international balloon festival. The 45^e edition will begin next Saturday, and many visitors are expected.

The 45^e edition will begin next Saturday, with around a hundred pilots from all over the world who will take off in the skies of the Pays d’Enhaut over the 9 days of the event. If classic activities, such as air shows and passenger flights, are still relevant, new features are also on the program. Among these, a show featuring a magical creature and a tightrope walker. All that remains is to know if the weather will be clear and sunny, like the previous year. Weather which attracted many visitors… Lionel Burnand, president of the organizing committee of the Château d’Oex International Balloon Festival.
