Château d'Oex, peaceful and well-known among hot air balloon fanatics

Château d'Oex is a small Swiss village located close to Gstaad. Each year in the last week of January you can visit the hot air ballooning festival. For sure you will return with a load of nice videos and pictures. Back in 1999 the Breitling Orbiter 3, the first hot air balloon to circumnavigate the earth, started from here. If you watch well you can see the yellow capsule in this aerial video (0:18).
