Tegernseer Tal Montgolfiade (Tegernsee Valley Hot-Air Balloon Festival) lifts winter mornings in Bad Wiessee, Germany, as dozens of hot-air balloons drift above Lake Tegernsee and the snow-dusted Alps in late January and early February. Watch launches from the lakeside promenade, then stay for the signature Ballonglühen (balloon glow)—tethered balloons pulsing with flame and music after dark—or book a scenic passenger flight for a bird’s-eye view.
Start with a quick trip form. Weekend in Tegernsee or a Bavaria route—we’ll plan balloon launches & glow, smart weather windows & vantage points, optional tethered rides, and a walkable stay near the lake.
