Win a virgin balloon trip over the swiss alps
Imagine soaring through the clear blue sky in the basket of a huge hot air balloon, admiring the magnificent, snow-capped peaks of the Swiss Alps around you and the tiny chalet villages far below. Then savour the magical occasion with a chilled glass of champagne.
Well, we’ve teamed up with Virgin Balloon Flights, to give one of our readers the chance to win this incredible experience for themselves and guest.
During the three-day adventure, you’ll stay in the west Switzerland village of Chateau d’Oex - a Mecca for balloonists because of its breathtaking alpine scenery and world famous balloon festival. There, you’ll discover the oldest and most romantic form of aviation with an unforgettable balloon flight.
What’s more, when your head comes down out of the clouds, you’ll enjoy two night’s accommodation at a chalet-style hotel, cable car ride and dinner at a mountain top restaurant, Swiss cheese and wine tasting at a local ballooning museum.
The prize, which takes place in January 10-12, 2008, also includes return flights from Gatwick, transfers from Geneva Airport to Chateau d’Oex and travel insurance.
This truly is the trip-of-a-lifetime!

I would love to win this but sadly the OH is scared of heights and won't even go up a ladder so I think this might be a bit much for him:eek: He'd probably faint at the very thought of it!!!:o :rotfl:
Good luck to everyone else though:D0 -
Thought this might be worth a bump as it's such a great prize. Plus it's worth pointing out this in the T&C's:
5. All balloon flights are subject to the weather, wind directions and air traffic control. Passengers must be at least 4ft 6in in height or taller and have a reasonable level of fitness. Virgin Balloon Flights is unable to fly anyone who is pregnant or who has recently undergone major surgery.Many tx to all who post constructively in all the forums!:beer:0 -
