Giant RGB illuminated balloon for an event in Gstaad
- Diameter
- 2.4 m
Digital Inflatables designed and built a giant RGB Bluetooth light-up balloon, 2.4 m in diameter, for an event in Gstaad in 2020. Lit from inside, the pink balloon floats at dusk above the village street on a thin tether, between illuminated chalets and snow-capped mountains. Gstaad is a village in the municipality of Saanen, in the canton of Bern, Switzerland.
What did Digital Inflatables make for the event in Gstaad?
A giant RGB Bluetooth light-up balloon, 2.4 m in diameter, lit from inside.
In the photos the balloon glows pink above a street lined with chalets and string lights, with a white building with a pointed tower and snowy peaks behind. A thin line tethers it to the ground.
The same post also shows a large glossy black sphere and a mirrored sphere standing between the chalets, reflecting the lights of the street.
Where is Gstaad?
Gstaad is a village in the municipality of Saanen, in the canton of Bern, Switzerland, in the Berner Oberland region.
In winter, a light-up balloon there can be seen from far away at nightfall, when the streets and façades are lit.

Request a quoteHow does an RGB light-up balloon work?
Lights placed inside colour the envelope; with a Bluetooth control, the colour can be changed remotely.
A balloon floating above a street is a tethered balloon: it stays attached to the ground by a line. Its installation is planned with the local council and, where needed, with the civil aviation authorities.
