Actually they can go up pretty high. The world record is 68,986 ft.

In many countries altitude restrictions apply though and special permits are required for these high altidudes. Where I live, during the cold seasons one can occasionally see hot air balloons crossing over the Alps, mainly from North to South due to prevailing winds,  up at around 16,000 - 19,000 feet. Such an alpine crossing can be booked by anybody for around € 900 - 1,000.

Of course oxigen masks have to be used by the balloonists.
