Internationale Ballonwoche Filzmoos
Filzmoos hosts its 48th International Balloon Week from 16–23 January 2027, among the mountains of SalzburgerLand.
Around 15 teams are announced for the International Balloon Week in Filzmoos. The scale makes this a village meeting with visiting crews, rather than a mass launch involving hundreds of balloons. The snow-covered valley and surrounding peaks are part of its appeal, but flight routes and departure times remain weather dependent.
Filzmoos has more than one balloon gathering in its winter programme. The Hanneshof Balloon Week and the International Balloon Week are separate listings. In particular, a Night of the Balloons advertised for one week should not be assumed to take place during the other.
For a passenger place, contact the organiser through the balloon-week website before travelling. Ask which week your booking belongs to, where to meet and what happens if flying is cancelled. The organiser’s contact address is at the Hotel Hanneshof; use the instructions issued for your flight rather than treating that address as a guaranteed launch field.
