Spectacular
I did the ultimate paraglide. We did have an interesting take off 😁and I'm glad I listened to all the instructions that were given. We flew higher than the viewing platform of the Matterhorn Glacier paradise. It was just spectacular, and well worth spending the money. Thanks again. Nat (Australia)

Matterhorn sailing!!
Omg this was the most amazing adventure ever!! Do it!! We were nervous about jumping off but our pilots were so fast before we knew it we were “swinging” across the mountains like birds!!

Absolutely incredible experience! 🪂🏔️
**An absolutely incredible experience with Matterhorn Paragliding!** My group of four went paragliding with Matterhorn Paragliding yesterday, and we could not have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the entire team made us feel so prepared, comfortable, and safe throughout the takeoff and landing. Alan was my instructor, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to experience my first paragliding flight with. He was incredibly knowledgeable, reassuring, and made me feel completely safe while also allowing me to fully enjoy the experience and take in the incredible views of the Matterhorn and Zermatt. This was my first time paragliding, and thanks to Alan and the entire team, it definitely won’t be my last! They gave us the confidence and guidance to experience something completely outside of our comfort zones while knowing we were in such good hands. Thank you, Alan and the entire Matterhorn Paragliding team, for an unforgettable experience! I would recommend you to anyone visiting Zermatt! 🏔️🪂

Great service and people
The company worked specifically well with me on weight limits and made both my girlfriend and I very comfortable flying. The instructors Alan and Mael were incredible and gave us the experience of a lifetime

One of the highlights of my time in Switzerland
What a fantastic experience. I loved it!!! You ride the train up from Zermatt but you fly down to Zermatt. Alan was knowledgeable, entertaining, and focused on you having a great time and being safe. The photo package is a must have! I’ve already shared it with family and friends and they said we were flying like a bird (and we were!). 5 stars and I recommend this to everyone! One of the highlights of my time in Switzerland. BTW, I’m 73. If I can do it, you can too!
