Reto Tschannen, former Marketing Manager:

Reto Tschannen, Marketing Manager at Gstaad Saanenland Tourism, is very enthusiastic about the diversity of the holiday destination, which conveys to visitors a very special attitude to life. Securing a starting spot at the International Hot-Air Balloon Week in Château-d’Oex is a special experience. 

‘Visitors to this festival walk in the footsteps of the legendary balloonists Piccard & Co. There is a hint of great adventure when some of the world’s leading balloonists let their hot-air balloons rise almost simultaneously. Balloons in every conceivable shape and colour create an atmospheric image in the skies over our holiday region.’
