5.00Booked this experience last minute and was able to get in! First time glider and I will 100% do it again! Felix was my pilot and he was wicked!! Felix was very informative and made me feel comfortable! Once in the sky he made sure I was situated, we were blessed with nice warm morning and clear blue skies! We got to go close to the glacier that runs down into town, glided over a helicopter, I got to do some handling and finished with some fun maneuvers 😎🤘🏻😝 thank you Felix for the amazing experience and memories ill have forever!

5.00Was super nervous but Alan made sure to explain everything to ensure a smooth take off and landing. The entire experience was almost 30 minutes in the air and we had beautiful views of the Matterhorn.

5.00Alan and Eric were wonderful pilots for our paragliding adventure! Our family enjoyed every moment of the flights. We felt will informed and safe. We knew Alan and Eric had control and were extremely knowledgeable about paragliding so we could just sit back and enjoy the beautiful views. Would absolutely recommend!

5.00My experience with Matterhorn Paragliding was incredible. The ride was beautiful and we spent a meaningful chunk of time riding the thermals with the birds after getting to see the Matterhorn. Flying with Alan was great and I can’t recommend this experience highly enough.
Nice experience

5.00Our pilots were so experienced and professional about everything from the start. I never felt nervous because they talked us through the process. The views were breathtaking. Our pictures look like a postcard. We saw a bunch of animals and even got to play around in the sky towards the end. Highly recommend!
