Every January this quaint Swiss village
hosts hot air balloon teams for flying
and winter sports. The Alps make a stunning

Over Pikes Peak
Pikes Peak, known as America's Mountain, is an iconic
peak overlooking Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Standing 14,115 feet above sea level, the mountain's
majestic stature has provided a scenic and challenging

Where the air and water meet in the desert,

Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta ®
