Vermont is a fabulous place to take to the sky in a Hot Ai
r Balloon. Seeing Vermont's scenic Green Mountain countryside from above is an unforgettable and exhilarating experience and now it is easier than ever to try this growing outdoor sport.
Hot Air Ballooning, Balloon Rides or Champagne Balloon Flights are becoming increasingly popular. Hot Air Balloon design and safety has advanced considerably over the last twenty years. Hot Air Ballooning is safe, thrilling, memorable and some would say "mesmerizing" and "addictive".
Vermont is the home of the Quechee Balloon Festival and the Stoweflake Balloon Festival in Stowe. Ballooning and Balloon Rides are a big part of both events. A Vermont Hot Air Balloon ride may also be available at some of the wonderful fairs and expositions located in the state. See our Vermont events section for dates. Vermont Fair season runs from July to September.
A Vermont Balloon Ride may also be arranged by contacting Above Reality Balloon Tours in Underhill, Vermont. They will celebrate your touchdown with Champagne and made in Vermont cheese and fudge!
The Balloon Federation of America was founded in 1961 and is will provide more information to anyone interested in Lighter Than Air flight. The non-profit organization is dedicated to the advancement of the sport and the science of lighter-than-air aviation - both hot air and gas balloons.
