Soar high in the sky and experience the pleasure of flying as free as a bird! Take off and explore Zermatt's stunning panoramas with the Matterhorn as a highlight!
Zermatt, in southern Switzerland’s Valais canton, is one of the most popular mountain resorts renowned for skiing, climbing and hiking. The town, at an elevation of around 1,600m, lies below the iconic, pyramid-shaped Matterhorn peak.
Here you have the chance to experience a one-in-a-lifetime adventure - a tandem paragliding flight in 3000-4000m altitude!
At the meeting point you’ll be introduced to your friendly instructor who’ll give you a presentation on the activity and safety protocols.
Then the exact spot of the day will be chosen depending on the weather and wind conditions, officially making the beginning of your paragliding adventure!
The most popular flights start from over 3000m, from where you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the famous Matterhorn view.
You’ll take the cable car to the take-off point. This is the perfect time for you to ask any question you may have concerning the paragliding flight and general information about Zermatt. Your pilot will share as much as of his knowledge, stories and anecdotes as you want.
Once you’re on the mountain, you’ll leave the cable car and walk to the take-off point. Here once again you’ll have a short briefing and equipment check. This is also the ideal time to pose for your pre-flight photos.
Then it’s time for the ultimate fun stuff, you take a few steps and you’re in the air! Now all you have to do is sit back, relax and take in the spectacular 360° views over Switzerland, Italy and France. The pilot will take care of everything, all you have to do is enjoy this magical moment to the fullest.
Then it’s time for the gentle landing. Once you’ve landed you’ll take off the equipment. The pilot will download the pictures and videos to a memory card, ready for you to take home and show off with.
