It's a reminder to me not to edit quite so late at night, but I loved those balloon photos and wanted to get them up. I'll make the change right now. Thank you for being a clear-headed reader - must be all that time up in the thinner air. David, the red-faced writer/editor here is having a good chuckle over this little logic slip-up.

I think they meant to say balloons can be 10,000 m3 (350,000 cu ft) and carry up to 22 passengers, but most of the balloons at Chateau d'Oex are about fourth that size Fairly accurate except at one point where the writers got their words mixed up – they wrote “most of the standard size balloons at Chateau-d’Oex are around 10,000m2, but they can be nearly one-fourth that size and carry up to 22 passengers.”
