The Celestial Spectacle on August 12, 2026
Experience one of nature's most fascinating events: the solar eclipse of August 12, 2026.
In the Lucerne region, the Moon will cover up to 90% of the Sun. Just before sunset, the eclipse reaches its peak – a truly breathtaking spectacle that becomes even more impressive when viewed from a hot air balloon at an altitude of around 1,500 meters.
With unobstructed panoramic views, you'll enjoy ideal conditions for observing the eclipse and capturing unforgettable photographs. For your safety, we will provide you with certified solar eclipse glasses.
After landing, we will celebrate the evening together with a glass of champagne and a selection of culinary delights.
