The Alpine Ballooning Festival is kicked-off on Sunday, January 21, 2024, at 10:00am in Kössen. Races take place alternately in Walchsee and Kössen every day. Each year a variety of concessions are available, and entertainment is provided, with the ‘Night Glowing’ and hot mulled wine party with fireworks in Kössen as undisputed highlight: In the evening of January 24, 2024, at 7:00pm, the balloons will stay fully inflated but tethered to the ground so spectators can get up-close views. Imagine rows upon rows of bulbous luminaries, dozens of feet tall, lit up from the glow of flames.
