Perfect minus one thing ...

Vincent_F, Apr 2026

Julio was excellent and very knowledgeable. This was my first time doing this type of activity so I had a couple questions but Julio had a very calm demeanor and made the process very enjoyable. For the cost, however, the Gornegat one way train fee should be included with the expensive price tag. For now, get ready to drop an additional 40 or so Franks to get to the top, and 40 or so Franks for you pictures/video of the trip, making it a plus $500 price tag. I didn't mind paying for the pictures, but the transportation fee not being included was a bit of a letdown. Everything else was perfect! Highly recommend

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much Vincent for your detailed and honest review! We are very happy to hear that your first paragliding experience was enjoyable and that you felt safe and comfortable during the whole adventure. It was a pleasure to fly with you in front of the iconic Matterhorn! We also truly appreciate your feedback regarding the Gornergrat train ticket and additional services. In Zermatt, mountain transportation tickets are operated separately and prices can vary depending on season and ticket type, which is why they are not always included in the activity package. We always try to keep full transparency with our guests regarding optional extras such as professional photo/video service, so every passenger can customize the experience according to their wishes. Thank you again for choosing FLYBYPARA and for recommending us. We hope to welcome you back again for another unforgettable flight in the Swiss Alps!

Soaring through the Zermatt mountains

mattocampo, Sep 2025

Listen to the professional guides instructions and you will experience an incredible soaring through the Zermatt valley. Pay the video picture fee well worth it. The guides work hard to keep you safe but thrilled throughout the ride.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Shannon_R, Sep 2025

This was a great experience; however not for the cost. I could not find one bit of information stating that we had to pay for an extra train ticket to the top of one of the peaks to take off. That was an additional $30 Euro. Additionally, my friend and I took off at the same time but I was on the ground 10 minutes before him.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Shannon, Thank you for your response. I would like to clarify that the extra charges are clearly stated on our website. We do not include transportation costs as many people already have special passes. It would not be fair to charge them extra. We strive to keep our prices reasonable for all customers. Additionally, we always aim to provide the minimum air time required for each activity. Sometimes, we even offer extra time as a gesture of goodwill. If you feel that the air time is less than expected, please inform your pilot so that we can address any concerns. Thank you for your understanding. If you want to share more details with me, please contact me in the links displayed on our website. BR, Julio Rivera

The best Paragliding Ever!

Andres_M, Jul 2023

We had the best experience with Julio and Michael. It was so amazing to view Swiss Alps and immersed yourself with the most beautiful nature in the Switzerland. Compared with "Top of Europe Jungfraujoch", paragliding is 100 times better. If you are in Switzerland, I would highly recommend to fly with Julio and Michael. They made the whole experience seamless and many beautiful pictures and videos for you to show off with your friends and family..lol.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Your recommendation means a lot to us. We take pride in delivering exceptional experiences that create lifelong memories. We hope to welcome you back in the future for another exhilarating flight with FLYBYPARA.

Super fun experience for beginners

priyankaa17, Jul 2023

It was a bad weather day and yet my Pilot Holio was extremely patient to find the right time to make the flight possible for me. Holio was my pilot and he called me the previous day to instruct me on what to carry. He has more than 30 years of experience. I have a fear of heights but Holio made me feel so comfortable that when we took off I was wondering if I ever did have a fear of heights. It was a super fun experience. He also took excellent videos and photos of the experience and it will be a memory I will cherish forever. Just go for it.

One great experience from Julio to the flight.

CraigB_F, Jul 2022

The total experience was wonderful. First meeting the people Julio and Matthew were great and explained everything. The trip to the jumping place was beautiful. Then getting hooked up and running the 3 step to the end of the cliff was exciting and so glad when the parachute took us soaring. The view, the thrill and the overall paragliding experience is something I will never forget. I'm sure that other operators are good but these guys are the best. We booked before and they handled everything from there.

Fantastic one-in-lifetime experience with Julio!

Denise_T, Jul 2022

Fantastic one-in-lifetime experience with Julio! Would do this again in a heartbeat! Courteous and very mindful of participants' safety - He contacted us and gave a courtesy update of an unexpected delay due to weather conditions. We managed to get a good insight of Switzerland and a good recommendation for lunch after the paragliding experience :) Thank you for the fantastic experience and making our adventure at Zermatt a memorable one!

What a thrill

Dale_R, Aug 2019

They took excellent care of our group of 4. 2 pilots so one couple flew while the other stayed at the launchsite. Then they waited at the landing zone (about 1 hr) while the pilots go back to launchsite and flew with 2nd couple.

Response from Host, Apr 2024
