Pilots at #GEMABPILOT
Breathtaking flights
Enjoy an unforgettable experience by flying in the world’s largest hot air balloon gathering. 19 flights planned in the morning and evening for 10 days. Among them, mass flights, but also the very famous Grand Line, unique in the world!
Participate in competitions
The #GEMAB is also a sports competition! This is an opportunity for pilots to compare their dexterity on an international scale outside the federal championship circuit in an exceptional setting and in complete brotherhood.
Trophy Grand Est Mondial Air Ballons®
Organised since the first edition in 1989, this is the major tournament of the event sponsored by the Grand Est Region, which sees more than 150 hot-air balloon pilots compete in a joyful and good humoured atmosphere.
The Next Generation Challenge
Created in 2003, this competition was born to honour the sons and daughters of pilots who follow in their parents’ footsteps and perpetuate the family tradition of ballooning.
Very Old Burner Challenge
Also introduced in 2003, this challenge is exclusively open to drivers who have held a licence for more than 30 years. The opportunity for “the old burners” to show their experience and that they are not rusty!
