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!

This was one of the most exhilarating experiences I have had in awhile! The pilot was amazing and made sure we spent a lot of time flying amongst the cliffs, accelerating and turning. It did not feel rushed at all and was worth every penny.

My sons (19 and 16) and I went paragliding with Alan and we had a blast! Before the trip, he was very prompt and informative with communication through WhatsApp. Also, Alan and his team were thorough in explaining what to do and we felt safe the entire time. Lastly, all 3 guides were personable and fun! It was a thrilling, awesome experience!! Thanks Matterhorn Paragliding🪂

My daughter and I played the last round of the day and we had great fun. Jan and Felix brought us high up in the sky to have a close look at Matterhorn, the wonderful valley of Zermatt and more. A once in a life time experience. Jan and Felix are the best - Thank You!

My original appointment was 11:30 am, but Alan notified me that the winds were not great and if we can postpone till 1 pm. I had a free day and said yes. I was grateful that they took the weather conditions seriously and provided options. Alan gave me ideas to pass the time until my new appointment time, going up to Sunegga (which was the halfway point to the take off spot) and enjoying the views from there. When 1 pm came around, I met Alan and Felix and they took me to the take off spot. Felix became my new pilot, and he did a great job explaining and preparing me for the possible motion sickness, and what to do when we take off. He gave me all the gear I needed to put on (jacket, hat, helmet, gloves), stowed away my persona backpack, then got me ready for the takeoff. Takeoff went just as he described, and he spent the next 20-25 min trying to find good wind that would keep me up as the higher you are, the safer. He set up good shots to take while we were up there, but also made sure to keep the ride smooth to minimize motion sickness, explaining everything as he went (e.g. why he was turning left or right). I told him I was starting to get nauseous, and he prepared me for throwing up just in case, which I fortunately did not do. I gave him permission to end my right a few minutes early, and he took me down as smooth as possible. He set me up to collect my photos and videos, then told me how to get back to town. I was really grateful at how Felix communicated everything. It was my first time paragliding and it went really smoothly! Thank you Felix!!!
