Hot air balloons are steered by changing altitude. The air currents are often going different directions at different altitudes, and by changing altitude you can get into an air current going the direction that you want to go. This isn't complete control like the steering on a car or airplane, you are still limited to the directions that the wind is going, but you have some control.
