Housed in the former city hall of Château-d’Oex, Espace Ballon is a museum dedicated to the fascinating history of hot air ballooning. Officially inaugurated in January 2024, it opened just in time for the annual Festival International de Ballons.
The museum showcases the evolution of balloon flight, from early pioneers to modern-day adventures, and highlights Château-d’Oex’s unique role as a hub for aerostatic exploration—including Bertrand Piccard’s record-breaking round-the-world balloon journey.
