A paragliding tandem flight in front of the Matterhorn - taking off from Riffelberg or Blauherd at 2600m (weather dependent). Amazing views of Zermatt and the surrounding mountains; landing back in Zermatt. This is our popular introductory flight! Our pilots will be talking you through everything, no experience is needed to come and fly with us - an unforgettable experience! Paragliding is weather dependent. If we have to cancel the flight due to weather or safety reasons, you will be fully refunded. Sometimes we also have to move it to a different day or time to guarantee you a nice flight - we reserve the right to do so. Please note that the oneway cable car / railway ticket to takeoff is not included in our flightprice. Our pilots will happily assist you in buying the ticket if needed upon meeting at the station - no need to organise that ticket beforehand. If you travel on a SwissPass or halffare, make sure to bring it along as this will give you a 50% discount on that ticket up to takeoff. In the PeakPass or Skipass the ride is included.

Just wow
Unbelievable, great first experience paragliding. The amazing scenery on the train going up is only beaten by the views and peacefulness gliding down. Highly recommend . Worth noting you have to park in the town Täsch as cars are not allowed at the meeting point

What a fantastic experience!
What a fantastic experience! Alan was knowledgeable, entertaining, and concerned for safety. I would highly recommend this. BYW, I’m 73 - if I can do it, you should do it! An experience of a lifetime.

Amazing experience
It was amazing. At first I was a little nervous about the whole up in the sky but my pilot (Jung not sure if this correct spelling) made me so at ease and I just fully trust him and I follow his directions. I enjoyed the view of Zermatt and it felt more than 20 minutes when we were up in the sky which I love it. He also did some tricks in gliding which was cool.!Thank you again for keeping me safe❤️.
