Paragliding in Zermatt - An unforgettable experience. From reception at the gondola station to landing.
Pilots are proven and passionate professionals. Professional and always reassuring.
Inhabited by the phobia of emptiness I never had any difficulty. On the contrary, I would ask for more.
Thank you to the whole team for allowing my
family to be able to fly all at the same time. I don’t tell you the view because you have to go see it or even to understand it.
Many thanks and congratulations.

Great way to spend two hours in Zermatt and experience breathtaking views of the Matterhorn. - My wife and I decided to try paragliding in Zermatt after a day of hiking in the mountains. We are glad we made the choice. It took us just a couple of hours in the morning - another great advantage. The tour company are reputed and we found our technically competent, highly experienced paragliding pilots, Bruce and Jan, extremely clear with instructions, their knowledge about local conditions whilst also striving to provide an excellent client experience. The company is run by Tom and his wife, Larissa.

Incredible Experience - I’m not a review writer, but these guys deserve one. Ease of booking and communication prior to was great. Very friendly. I was impressed how patient the guys were with some members in the group where a language barrier was present.
Most importantly, safety was their main priority from the start. Starting with the proper equipment. They’re constantly checking the weather conditions, and drill what you need to do for successful take off shortly after you meet and continue to do so before you finally do take off.
Flight experience was an A+ as well. No short changing on the flight time.
Shout out to Alan! Cheers.

Fantastic experience, smooth, a must do in Zermatt. - Paragliding with Matterhorn Paragliding was a superb experience. I was taking my first flight and was a bit nervous at first. Pilot Jan Necas made it very easy right from take off to landing. I did not even have to run, a few steps and we were off. Then it was just flying like an eagle over the mountains and valleys. Jan was talking to me all the time. It was a lovely flight that lasted about 35 min, no issues. I will definately go the next time and strongly recommend it as a must do.

Matterhorn Paragliding - This was a once in a life time experience, the Matterhorn Paragliding company made it all so special, kept me informed of changes to the weather and really put themselves out for me. A very professional company. At no point during take off or during the flight did I feel nervous, this was all down to Alan the best paragliding tandem lead ever. Well worth every penny.

A tremendous experience - It was an outstanding experience. I have never done something like this before and I was a bit apprehensive but once we got going, it was amazing. To soar 10,000 feet in the air over Zermatt and its peaks was, for me, a once in a lifetime experience. My guide/ pilot Bruce definitely knew his craft and he was great to talk to during the flight.

Matterhorn Paragliding Made My Dreams Of Flying Reality! - We had always dreamed of flying…
We booked this experience based on Matterhorn Paragliding’s positive reviews, but my wife is afraid of heights, so we didn’t quite know what to expect.
Alan and Jan, our pilots, immediately answered all questions that we had, and then took my wife through instructions and a prep run so that she was comfortable.
When it was time to take off, we waited for the perfect conditions. We followed our pilot’s sage advice and shifted to the other side of the launch hill, and…wow! Words nor pictures can not do justice to just how incredible the in-flight experience was! My wife and I had different experiences customized to each of us during our flights due to changing wind conditions and our comfort levels.
After landing, we both were smiling ear to ear for the next 20 minutes. This was the perfect experience that we had both dreamed of!
Matterhorn Paragliding has exceptional reviews for a reason. Our flight experience was nothing short of perfection. We will be referring all of our family and closest friends to use them when they travel to Zermatt. They deserve to know who to use for a once-in-a-lifetime experience like this.

What a view! - My son and I decided we wanted to try Paragliding while in Zermatt. We were able to contact Matterhorn Paragliding through WhatsApp which made it very easy to find out more information and book. The entire experience from start to finish was amazing! Both Alan and Jan made us both feel at ease and comfortable. I appreciated the detailed safety briefing and the explanations of what to expect. We were provided with everything we needed to make our flight safe and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this company for a safe and enjoyable experience!! Thank you!
