I loved this! At first (before booking online) I was a little nervous about doing this. But once I got there, I was fine. My main focus was on the "run" that I didn't concern myself with getting spooked. I think my guide was Alan, and he totally prepared me and took me on the flight of a lifetime. Matterhorn view was amazing too!

Our guides were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and overall this was such a great experience. If you care a lot about photos or video footage, I would recommend asking a few questions before getting started. My partner was able to hold and control the camera and ended up with great footage, knowing exactly when it was on and how to use it. For me, it was a bit unclear when the camera was active or when I should look at it or smile while the guide was holding it, so some of my footage turned out a little wonky and not quite as clear. That said, the guides were excellent listeners and tailored the experience to what we wanted. Definitely let them know if you’re looking for something more chill or more active. I also really appreciated how responsive the company was to every message. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Chris was absolutely incredible. I was very nervous going into this experience, but he gave me the smoothest, calmest, most amazing ride imaginable. I was able to fully relax and take in the views the entire time. He explained everything clearly, made me feel completely safe, and his confidence and skill were evident from start to finish. This ended up being one of the highlights of our trip, and I would 100 percent recommend Chris to anyone. An unforgettable experience thanks to him.

Bruce, Allan, Jan, and our other guide were ALL wonderful! Wonderful experience! I’m not a thrill seeker but it was exciting and beautiful to see the Matterhorn, surrounding mountains, and the town of Zermatt from the air!

While visiting Zermatt, my husband and I decided to go paragliding. We were fortunate to have the opportunity to do this with Matterhorn Paragliding. Generally, my husband is the adventurous one, but I was the one who convinced to him give this activity a try. We had two great instructor/pilots Bruce and Eric. They gave us an overview of what to expect and were very specific with our take-off directions. We suited up and off we went for a 30-minute adventure which we will never forget. The views were breathtaking, and the total adventure was so smooth and was so enjoyable and relaxing. The landing was easy and smooth as well. Both Eric and Bruce had GoPro cameras which they used to take great videos and pictures of our excursion in the air. The memories will last with us forever and the pictures were wonderful to share with others. Thanks for an amazing trip!

Had an amazing time paragliding in Zermatt with Matterhorn Paragliding! Alan was my guide, and he was fantastic – super friendly and made me feel completely at ease from the moment we took off. The views were breathtaking and the whole experience was just incredible. I loved it so much I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Totally recommend these guys – such an awesome experience!

The most amazing outdoor adventure of our vacation, paragliding with the Matterhorn and Breithorn mountains as the backdrop is nothing short of breathtaking. If you get the chance to experience it in a clear day as we did, you will talk about it for the rest of your life. Chris and Alec were our guides, and they were true professionals. Helpful, encouraging, and fun, you cannot be in better hands. If I could give it six stars, I would. Thank you!
