"Paragliding in Zermatt After 20 minutes on a series of gondolas, we arrived at the top of Rothorn peak and walked over to our take off point. My friend, Hera, turned to her guide and said, "Uhhh, I didn't realize I would have to run off of a cliff!" "It's more like walking off of a hill," he replied soothingly. He wasn't just being cheeky. After the initial shock of getting airborne (it was a hill leading down to a cliff, to be fair), the rest of the flight was incredibly peaceful. Our guides gave us a few roller-coaster-like spins (after asking permission of course) to compliment the tranquility of floating through the air, while the slow descent allowed us plenty of time to enjoy our view of the Swiss Alps. As novice snow-boarders, we needed extra activities like this to allow some rest for our snow-beaten bums, but even if you are an expert skier/snowboarder, make sure to take out some time away from the slopes to enjoy the breath-taking view from above. The Matterhorn's entrancing anatomy is all the more compelling from this angle. By Maria Khalid"
Absolutely insane experience!
Both Michael and the other pilot were experienced, lovely and laid back and were able to book us in with limited notice. Had the best time paragliding over Zermatt, definitely one for the books!

After several canceled attempts elsewhere, I finally had my first paragliding experience in Zermatt with Michael, and it was absolutely magical!
Michael was incredibly professional and attentive, taking time to explain every step and calm my first-timer nerves. His expertise and warm personality made all the difference.
Once we were airborne – WOW! I couldn’t stop smiling. Soaring above Zermatt with the iconic Matterhorn as your backdrop is truly breathtaking – one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments that takes your breath away. The views are absolutely spectacular and unlike anything you’ll see from the ground.
I’m already planning to return with my family! If you’re considering paragliding in Zermatt, don’t hesitate – Michael’s guidance combined with those unbeatable Matterhorn views make this an experience you’ll treasure forever.
Perfect for: First-timers and anyone wanting spectacular Alpine views

Fantastic flying experiences! Weather was perfect and the take off/landing was smooth. There is nothing to compare to paraglide from 3100 metres near the infamous Matterhorn. My pilot was great and skilled. The videos and pictures were beautiful and is a must buy. Thank you again for the one of the kind flying experience.

My first time ever paragliding! It was truly a pleasure flying with Michael, I did not feel at all scared as the team took great care of us. Definitely a highlight in my life, I hope to come back again for The Condor and see the Matterhorn fully. Thank you Michael once again and your team!

Our adult children enjoyed their experience immensely. We booked via email and communicated regularly until the day of flight. They provided hiking boots and an out layer as we traveled light. Highly recommend!

What spectacular flights my teen daughter and I had with Zermatt Paragliding! Pilots Michael and Jerry were friendly, easygoing and instilled confidence. Scenery can’t be beat, of course, and the thermals were fun—you could really feel them. The pictures and video were worth purchasing and they downloaded straight to our phones afterwards. Definitely recommend!!

I met Michael during a solo visit to Zermatt last year. But due to weather and having my dog with me, I couldn't arrange a flight. His card has been in my wallet ever since and I'm so glad I saved it! On this visit, my wife and I finally committed. Our flights, I with Michael and my wife with Martin, were absolutely the highlight of our visit to Zermatt! We had deliberated because of the price but, in the end, the experience and the memories were worth every penny! The communication, safety and the piloting skills we experienced were highly professional. Do yourself a favor and don't let the opportunity slip by. Seize the moment...fly with Zermatt Paragliding!

Unforgettable Paragliding Adventure Over Zermatt!
Absolutely incredible from start to finish! Paragliding over Zermatt was hands down one of the most breathtaking experiences of my life. The views of the Matterhorn and the surrounding Alps were beyond words—like flying through a postcard.
Zermatt Paragliding team was professional, friendly, and made us feel completely safe the entire time. My pilot was experienced and super knowledgeable, giving me the perfect balance of calm and thrill. Takeoff was smooth, the flight was peaceful yet exhilarating, and the landing was softer than I expected.
If you’re even thinking about paragliding in Switzerland—do it here. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience in one of the most stunning places on Earth. I’d give it 6 stars if I could!
