What To Expect
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. In case of cancellation we will not be refunding any money for transportation.

4.00The booking, discussion and payment were all done online via Whatsapp, all smooth and easy. Larissa was knowledgeable, helpful and professional. We met both pilots (Eric & Bruce) at Riffelberg station at noon after doing our hike down from Gornergrat. 1. Eric helped my wife eased into the sky comfortably and took great care to ensure she’s comfortable and safe. Very professional throughout. 2. Bruce took me for the flight. We missed the first run due to wind condition but eventually took off, he is definitely experienced and knows his stuff. However, after the missed 1st round, he complained unceasingly and kept blaming me for not running fast enough (like I knew what was going on), and his ranting went on and on for a good 10min before he caught the next wind, and we took off thereafter. I don’t think it’s the right behavior and totally undermined his otherwise professional skill. He too peed in the open (facing away) while my wife was around, that itself is also unwarranted behavior. On the whole, the process was smooth, flying felt safe, videos were good, just need to fix behavioral problem.
Amazing experience with breathtaking views of the Matterhorn
