Tour programme
- Meeting & Preparation:
We meet 10 minutes before your start time at the agreed meeting point, where your pilot is already waiting for you. You reach Zermatt by public transport, as the town is largely car-free, there are no parking spaces at the meeting point. You will be prepared for your flight before we head to the nearby lift station together, which is only a short walk of 5 minutes. Please take some money with you for the ticket, if you don't have one yet. Your pilot will help you if you have any questions with buying one. The landing spot behind the train station is the ideal spot for your family and friends if they want to wait for you and watch your flight.
- Start and Flight:
Once you arrive at the mountain, you will be surrounded by snow - they also call it a glacier paradise. Your pilot will give you a safety briefing for the start and the equipment will be checked again. Afterwards, you only have to walk a few more steps, until you are in the air and can enjoy your adventure. With a take-off altitude of 3,800 metres, it is one of the highest take-off points in Europe. Your flight has a distance of 12 km where you can not only see the glaciers, but even fly over 3-4 glaciers. So keep your eyes open and enjoy this adventure to the fullest.
- After Landing:
We end up behind the train station, which is only a few minutes away from our office.

Even though our original flight plan was changed due to weather, we still managed to take off from a different mountain and got an awesome helicopter ride as well!

Alex, who will be your guide, is an amazing person. I never leave reviews because I’m simply too lazy but I had such great experience I had to give this man 5 stars. From start to end it was a blast. He was well-educated, funny, and made sure we were safe. At the end, I got a beer for me and brother, who wasn’t even paragliding with us but Alex was good hearted man. Highly recommend to book with this company if you want to have more than just a paragliding experience. Looking forward to meeting him again when I’ll return to Switzerland.
