Remo Lang, 38, threw himself out of the balloon early in the morning and landed around 10 minutes later at Aarberg, in the Berne canton of Switzerland.
Wearing a "wingsuit", his freefall lasted five minutes.
Lang's team said he prepared himself for the jump by taking in oxygen from a tank intensively for half an hour before the stunt.
