FLYZermatt – Come Fly With Us!

SUMMER FLIGHTS (2018)

Paragliding in the Swiss Alps during summer is an experience not to be missed. Enjoy pleasant temperatures, clean alpine air and spectacular views of the towering 4000m peaks, including the famous Matterhorn.

All of our flights finish at the landing field behind Zermatt train station (unless otherwise stated).

Mornings are best!

Weather conditions can change quickly in Zermatt’s high alpine environment but mornings are generally more predictable. Plan your flight for the earlier part of the day to minimize the risk of missing out.

Experience a bird’s eye view of the Swiss Alps with one of the following tandem paragliding flights.

AUTUMN FLIGHTS (2018)

Some of the most gentle and enjoyable conditions can be found at the end of summer – soft thermals and light winds are typical for this time of year. These flights run from the end of September until the snow comes or the start of December (whichever comes first).

WINTER FLIGHTS (2018-19)

Yes, we fly in winter too! Our winter season starts as soon as the ski lifts up to Rothorn are open (usually around the start of December, depending on snow conditions).

Normally just the Classic High flight from Rothorn is available, but every now and then the Elite flight from Klein Matterhorn (the highest flight in the Alps) is also an option. Flights are usually super smooth in winter and we have fun swooping over skiers and enjoying the snowy landscape of Zermatt.
