Lindstrand Balloon launched at Arosa
19th February 2010
A new Lindstrand built balloon has made its first appearance in the stunning setting of Arosa, high in the Swiss mountains.
The balloon was created for Swiss bank Thurgauer Kantonal Bank, to be flown by pilot Manuel Knobelspiess, one of the presidents of the Arosa Balloon Club.
The balloon was launched at the Arosa Balloon Festival, a small but successful event, now in its 19th year. Lindstrand dealer Alois Geudon www.ageuroballoons.de attended the event, along with Lindstrand Pilot Chris Sanger-Davies, and Crew Nicole and Sven.

The event is supported by local businesses, who benefit from the tourists and visitors attracted by the balloons.
Chris and Alois stayed at the Alpensonne hotel www.hotelalpensonne.ch
