Fantastic - The views are great! With snow covered mountains, it's like paragliding in winter but yet it's the start of Summer. Julio and company are a fun group of people. Videos and pictures are nicely taken but would be great if they can put it as a montage too. So that it can be readily shared in FB or Instagram. Overall experience was amazing.

Highly recommended…was the highlight of our Zermatt trip! - Awesome surprise…someone canceled last minute so our daughter was able to take a flight with Julio from Gornergratt! He was amazing, courteous, and took great care of our daughter during her flight. He even had her pet some black sheep while waiting for us to pick her up! Highly recommend when in Zermatt!

If you want to try paragliding, this is the place to do it! - Unfortunately, we were unable to fly this time due to the weather. However, they waited until the last minute, hoping that the weather would improve, and tried again. They were very friendly and kind, so I felt at ease. They also quickly refunded my money, and if I have the chance to go to Zermatt again, I would definitely like to try paragliding here. Thank you very much.

Zermatt paragliding - I really like the feeling of flying in the air ~ I can experience the feeling of paragliding as the heroine Yoon Se-ri in "Crash Landing on You". In addition, I highly recommend the pilot here. The skills are very good and the landing is very smooth. You can also do technical spins in the air, but it is not recommended to eat too full to avoid vomiting! I feel the most comfortable when I take off at the beginning. When the weather is good, I can even see the Matterhorn~
