Julio was my pilot and he was great! From booking to flying everything was professional. Walked me through on what to expect, what to do and assured me everything will be enjoyable and beautiful, and he is right! Price is about right for me and my wife. For flight time, it was good enough, but hey who don't want to have more flight time when it was so much fun? That immediately after landing we wanted round 2.

Great experience! Beautiful views. Equal parts relaxing and exhilarating. Had a great flight with Aurélien. Exciting acrobatics and spirals! And relaxing soaring with spectacular views. Perfect!
It was such a moving experience. Thank you so much.
It was easy to find by the train station. I took the photo/video package which turned out amazing. The take off and landing was smooth. We had a beautiful day with clear blue skies.
I have visited Zermatt many times due to my job as a tour manager, but I have never got round to Paragliding there. There’s a lot of competition between operators, but I can safely say that FlybyPara exceeded my expectations. Julio explained the different flights available without any pressure and put such an emphasis on safety as being paramount. I chose the Matterhorn view experience, having flown before in other locations I wanted it to be the best here. And it was.! Aurelien the pilot put me at ease immediately and I was really impressed with his safety checks, even if it meant a delayed takeoff as he was waiting for the conditions to be just right. I wouldn’t hesitate to fly with him again. Thank you to the whole team for an absolutely unforgettable flight in beautiful Zermatt 😊
I was fortunate to have this amazing experience. It was a lucky day for me that I will remember forever. Everything was perfect. Thank you!
I went paragliding with my wife and two girls (12,15) and we all absolutely loved it. Julio and his team were so professional, friendly and knowledgeable that it really made for a fantastic experience. Definitely the highlight of our trip. I highly recommend using FLYBYPARA. Thanks again Julio and team!
My paragliding experience with Fly by Para Zermatt was truly one of the highlights of my trip to Switzerland. From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well organized, and the entire team made me feel comfortable and excited for the adventure. A special thank you to Julio and Raphael. Their professionalism, knowledge, and calm demeanor immediately gave me complete confidence. They took the time to explain every step of the flight, answered all my questions patiently, and consistently put safety first. Their experience was evident throughout the entire journey, making me feel completely secure even before taking off. Once we were in the air, the views of the Matterhorn and the surrounding Alps were absolutely breathtaking. Julio and Raphael ensured the flight was both exhilarating and relaxing, checking in throughout to make sure I was comfortable and enjoying every moment. Their passion for paragliding and dedication to providing an unforgettable experience truly stood out. If you’re visiting Zermatt and considering paragliding, I cannot recommend Fly by Para Zermatt enough. If you’re fortunate enough to fly with Julio or Raphael, you’re in the hands of true professionals who prioritize safety while making the experience exciting, memorable, and enjoyable. This was an experience I’ll never forget, and I would happily do it again!
Visiting Switzerland had been a lifelong dream for us, and we chose it as our honeymoon destination. Experiencing paragliding with the Matterhorn in view was another dream we had always hoped to fulfill, and thanks to the incredible team at FLYBYPARA, it became a reality. From the moment we arrived, everyone was warm, welcoming, and professional. During the flight, the pilot made every effort to ensure we had the best possible experience, creating memories that we will treasure forever. The breathtaking scenery, combined with the care and expertise of the FLYBYPARA team, made this one of the highlights of our honeymoon. We wholeheartedly recommend FLYBYPARA to anyone visiting Zermatt. Thank you for giving us such an unforgettable experience!
Excellent, very professional! I’m from Argentina, and I took my first flight with them. They made me feel very comfortable from the start. I noticed the warmth and dedication of the professionals, who are truly passionate about what they do. For safety reasons, we had to reschedule my flight, and they handled everything quickly and with great kindness. 100% recommended. Without a doubt, my next flight will be with them.
I always wanted to fly and Flybypara made it possible in one of the most beautiful places in the world. I cannot recommend it enough. Thank youuuuu❤️❤️❤️🪂
We had a family cross country paragliding trip. All 3 experiences were different and tailored to each of us. Aurelian had a smooth glide with some acrobatics with my daughter. Julio did all the tricks with our boy and Jean Luc took me on a little tour of lakes, glaciers and mountain peaks. It was a highlight of our trip! Guys were so knowledgeable about where to start and what to see. All of them have decades of experience paragliding all around the world. The whole trip was unforgettable!!! This was the best experience paragliding one can dream of. Highly recommend going with their company!!!
Our very first paragliding experience in Zermatt, and it was absolutely unforgettable! 🪂✨ No matter how old or how young you are — just try it once in your lifetime! The view was breathtaking, the experience was amazing, and the photos & videos were captured so beautifully. A special thank you to Julai & John for making us feel safe, comfortable, and excited throughout the whole journey. You both made this experience even more memorable! ❤️
This was a wonderful experience. My pilot, Jean, was great. He was thorough with showing what I needed to do, considerate and fun. I also felt totally safe with him as my pilot.
The views were absolutely breathtaking and the instructors were professional and friendly throughout the whole experience!
Amazing paragliding experience over the stunning Matterhorn! The view was absolutely breathtaking with the iconic peak standing right in front of us. My instructor was super professional, friendly and patient. He explained everything clearly and made me feel totally safe throughout the flight. Couldn’t ask for a better adventure! Highly recommend to everyone visiting Zermatt.
Julio is amazing. I fly paragliding myself and I learned so much from him. He have shown me where to takeoff, tells me about the wind, he is always friendly and very welcoming. He is a very good pilot and I recommend him a lot.
Such an amazing experience Julio was so friendly, explained everything well and went the extra mile. I would book with him again! Everything was perfect
Definitely one of my best flights ever! Very smooth and views were stunning. Julio is clearly a pro and I love that we had videos of takeoff and landing. 10 out of 10.
I had an amazing paragliding experience with Julio ( pilot). He was professional and patient, taking the time to guide me whenever I was unsure about the controls or steps. Although I felt nervous at first, I soon relaxed and fully enjoyed the experience without fear. It was a perfect moment, with the beautiful Matterhorn right in front of my eyes. Highly recommended.
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
Hi! Well it's one of the best investment for your life. This fly company has an expert pilot Director, honest and bests adventure services from the beginning. Trying this professional services at Zermatt I enjoy in safety way and definitely super recommendable. Thanks a lot Julio, we will back to fly again with you in Zermatt.
Me, my husband and our daughter did paragliding in front of Matterhorn , Zermatt this morning . Our pilots , Julio , Martin and Mario are excellent . They took care of our safety well . We have a very enjoyable experience . We highly recommend Flybypara.
It was a very nice experience !!! Julio is a pro ❤️🔥 I has a great time
For my last day in Zermatt I went to paragliding something that I always Wanted to do. Julio was very nice and experienced. We ended up staying up there longer than expected and enjoyed the gliding for a long time. I got the Matterhorn package and got to see to see this beautiful peak and all the surroundings from bird’s eye view for a long time. I highly Recommend Julio with over 35 years of experience.
Absolutely amazing experience!!!! The guides, the communication, the flying!!!! Looking forward to more flying with you!!!!!
I had an amazing 20-minute paragliding flight. From the very beginning, the pilot showed a lot of confidence and professionalism, which made me feel safe the entire time. He really cared about making sure I understood the whole process, explaining everything clearly and patiently. He was also very enthusiastic and friendly, which made the experience even better. You can truly tell that he loves what he does and that passion makes a big difference. I would definitely recommend this company 100%.
Excellent service from start to finish. Its a MUST DO in Switzerland. Views were breathtaking and out of this world. Did the last flight and had ZERO regrets.
No words can really express what a fantastic time my wife and I had today. The pilots were very kind and we all got along great. Their instructions were easy to follow and made us feel comfortable the entire time. The flight itself and the views was one of the best I have ever experienced.
It was my first time paragliding and I feel blessed that I flew with Julio who is experienced and patient. He offered jackets, face cover, gloves and waterproof trousers for me to ensure that I wouldn't be hypothermia in the mountains. He also provided clear instructions on how to get off / land. Thanks to him, I got to see the beautiful views in Zermatt and Matterhorn!
I had a great time paragliding with Julio! He’s very experienced, patient, and friendly, and made sure I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the session. The views were absolutely stunning, and the whole experience was so enjoyable. Highly recommend FlyByPara and Julio! 👍
An absolutely amazing experience! The paragliding team was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely safe throughout the flight. The view of the Matterhorn and the surrounding Alps was breathtaking — easily one of the highlights of my trip. Perfect weather, smooth take-off, and a memorable landing. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Zermatt who wants an adventure with a view!
Well, I cannot put this experience into words because it’s definitely going to stay with me for this life. It was my 8 year old sons birthday and I wanted to give him a good experience and the kid had only one condition -that he wanted me to fly with him- I am so glad that he asked. Golden trees, shiny green and blue lakes, the mighty Matterhorn snowy mountain and the beautiful Zermatt City beneath….ahh it was all like a dream!! And the feeling of flying above 4000 m altitude …i felt like a bird having a trip of its life. So so beautiful to the eyes! If I am ever going to do this again or even recommend to anybody who is coming to Zermatt - I would always go with FlyByPara. The team is highly professional especially the boss man Julio, who responded to each and every query we had before the flight and received us with warmth in the mountains. He flew my son and he had a blast. Safety measures were spot on. He was able to train and talk my small kid into flying so you can imagine their skills. And I was accompanied by Mael. Mael was so friendly, was very patient in asking me how comfortable I was every 5 minutes during the flight.We had long chats, he taught me how to control the Shute and let me do it for a while(really had trust in me this guy!! :))we did some little stunts in the air before we landed. Over all a very satisfying experience!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND FLYBYPARA!! it’s just right in front of the Zermatt station. You won’t miss it
Paragliding with Flybypara in Zermatt was an experience that changed my life. From the beginning I felt in the best hands: the pilot transmitted total confidence, security and professionalism in every detail. His experience and calmness made me fully enjoy the flight, without worries, focusing only on the magic of the moment. Flying over the Matterhorn and the Swiss Alps is something indescribable: the feeling of freedom, peace in the air and the magnitude of the landscape are unforgettable. All the service was impeccable, from the organization to the landing, which made the experience even more special. I absolutely recommend living this flight, not only for the beauty of the place, but also for the human quality and professionalism of the team that makes it possible.
This was truly a perfect journey! If we have the chance again, we would love to choose Florian and Jonas as our pilots once more. Their professionalism, kindness, and patience made the whole experience absolutely delightful.
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.
It is amazing!! My pilot Moel was very nice and knowledgeable! We saw breathtaking views …… there is JUST nothing like it! A must do in Zermatt.
That was one hell of a ride. Jones, he was vedy helpful and patient. At the beginning it was a bit chaotic with the weather. But we waited. And the wait is worth a while. Glt to see some amazing views. Especially the whole raibow was beatiful. It was in my bucket list, but this ride made me the happiest person. Thanks again for everything.
Flying with Jonas was the highlight of my trip to Zermatt! He was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely safe the entire time. The views of the Matterhorn were absolutely breathtaking, and the flight was a perfect mix of relaxing and thrilling. Takeoff and landing were smooth, and the photos/videos were incredible. A once-in-a-lifetime experience — highly recommend!
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.
The experience is surreal. The team does a good job to take care of you through the flight. The equipments used were good quality.
I had the best paragliding experience! Initially, I thought it might be cancelled due to the weather, but Julio and Jonas were amazing—offered the flights as soon as conditions allowed. Julio never gave up and made sure everything was safe. I felt completely at ease throughout, and my 12 year old daughter enjoyed it so much too! We’ll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this experience to everyone!
Wow❣️. What a great adventure🤩. Thanks to all the team. We had a wonderful day. The view was fabulous. AWESOME 👌. Thank you Julio. Our pictures will be in our heart for EVER
We are 2 grandmothers in our 60s , flew with Julio and Max… so informative always felt we r in good hands made sure we understood everything … can’t thank them enough , our paraglide was so amazing so smooth and professional with a lot of laughter and interaction .. can’t recommend them enough .. Thanks for our experience that will go down in the family photo album Sylvia and Sandra
Such an incredible flight with Julio with the best views!! Everything well explained and I felt safe :) highly recommended
It’s my first paraglide experience and to celebrate my 50th birthday, although a bit nervous, I want to try this experience. Met Julio, who is the owner of this company, extremely warm and friendly. Although it is a windy day, we managed to do 2 flights, focus on safety as well as making sure you can have best experience, Julio is very experienced and familiar with the landscape and wind condition in the area. He is also always making sure I was ok while I am on the flight. Definitely one of the most unforgettable experiences to be flying on top of Zermatt with the Matterhorn mountain behind you as landscape. I also took the video package for this wonderful memory. Thank you Julio and Jonas (who is my husband pilot) for this wonderful experience. Definitely highly recommend an experience pilot for this attempt if you are 1st timer.
This was an incredible experience!!! Julio (who owns the business) is super kind and very experienced. This was my first time paragliding and he explained everything clearly and made me feel at ease throughout. I had an amazing time on both flights — the views are magnificent. I highly recommend Julio and his company!
Such an amazing experience! I will always remember those breathtaking views and unforgettable feelings. Many thanks to Julio and Jonas, very professional, kind and friendly 🥰 you really feel safe in their hands!
I'm a solo pilots and haven't flown in Zermatt before. I gave Julio a call and he was very helpful with great information and tips. Today was sunny weather and I came flying! We flew from Gornergratt and it was fantastic! The Matterhorn right beside me was very impressive! What a flight! I hope to come again.
So much fun! I had never done paragliding before and I’m so glad I tried it in Zermatt with FlybyPara. My pilot, Aurélien was excellent. He took amazing photos and videos, let me try turning and did some freestyle when we came down! Would absolutely do it again and again!
