Load of Hot Air

There are many ways to view the beauty of the Austrian Alps - from the valleys, from cable cars, not to mention while hurtling downhill on skis, but the resort of Filzmoos offers another option: ballooning.

From January 13th to the 20th, the resort becomes balloon heaven as the Grizzly Gas balloon week takes place, with 40 competing balloons filling the sky in a spectacular multicoloured array.

A major highlight is the second night of the festival, when illuminated balloons fill the dark winter sky.

For enthusiasts it is possible to enjoy a ride in one of the balloons, while enjoying the many attractions and features of the resort.

Offering plenty of accommodation, including cheap hotels, Filzmoos offers a vast range of winter sports activities, from skiing and tobogganing to Alpine walks and curling, offering fun for families and experienced enthusiasts alike.

As for those who can't get enough of floating on hot air, the Balloon Week is followed by a "German Balloon week" running from January 20th to the 27th.
