SKYWALKER BALLOON COMPANY - European & Family owned since 1996: Who We Are
Skywalker Balloon Company – “It’s like taking a walk in the sky” – was founded in 1996 by Wilhelm “Will” Drummer. Will is a native of Vienna, Austria and visited friends in Utah in 1994. Stunned by Utah’s beauty and the friendly people, he decided to give up his corporate job and become a hot air balloon pilot. Simply because it is the most memorable way to experience Utah’s fantastic places. With over 2500 flights logged, most of them in Park City, Utah, Will has become a quintessential part of the ballooning landscape in the area. His passion and dedication are unsurpassed; he left his home country of Austria, family, and friends behind to share the thrills of ballooning with you. After 30 years of flying, every single day is still a new adventure that puts a smile on his face and yours. Will loves to fly and has dedicated his life to providing you with the most intense, memorable, and safest way to experience this wonderful way of being airborne – WE ARE DREAMS OF FLYING!
Each flight is unique, offering spectacular views of the Wasatch Mountains, valleys, and lakes that are simply breathtaking. Passengers often describe the feeling of floating above the world as surreal, like being in a dream. The gentle lift-off from the ground is accompanied by the soft sounds of nature as you ascend, creating a peaceful atmosphere. From the basket, you’ll witness the sunrise or sunset paint the sky with brilliant shades of orange, pink, and purple, a sight that captivates all who experience it.
