What a thrilling experience! The crew was so friendly, reassuring, and experienced. It put me at ease as a mother of four young kids to know that they had so much experience and many have kids of their own. My parents and two siblings flew with FlyZermatt 6 years earlier and also had a great time.
Fantastic flight

My husband and kids had an amazing time - their favourite activity in Switzerland. The pilots were great, chatting them through everything before take off and getting some amazing photos and videos in the air. Highly recommended.
Unbelievable experience!

I had the Elite flight booked for the 13th July which was unfortunately cancelled due to the weather conditions and offered the scenic as an alternative on the same day. Excellent from the team they take safety so seriously but also try and offer alternatives where possible so you don't miss out. However they had a space available for the elite flight on the 15th which I took and I'm so glad I did as it was brilliant. The views from the take off, the Matterhorn, flying over a glacier, it was all just unbelievable. My flight was with Ronnie, who was excellent. Explained everything well and made you feel at ease. The rest of the team were excellent and friendly as well. We met in the office before and travelled up as a group. They help you with the ticket purchase if you don't already have one. Would 100% recommend this if you're in Zermatt. And if you have the chance, then go for the elite flight. Unbelievable views and brilliant experience. I also paid for the photos and videos and got them straight on to my phone after the flight finished. Excellent quality of photos and video and again worth it to remember the experience. If I'm ever back in Zermatt I would do this again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for making the whole thing an experience to remember

From take-off to landing a big party. Fantastic aerial view over the valley above Zermatt with a view of the Matterhorn. Super nice, professional pilots. Not a moment felt unsafe. Extremely cool to do.
