Reviews
Julio Made This the Experience of a LifetimenancysT4453LY
Paragliding with Julio was truly the experience of a lifetime. We did the Top Fly and flew all the way to Italy — the views were absolutely breathtaking and magical the entire time. At one point we got so close to the Matterhorn it felt like I could reach out and touch it, and we even spotted mountain goats along the way!
Julio was super professional throughout — his instructions were always clear, and I felt completely safe in his hands. He clearly knows the area inside and out, and was happy to answer all my random questions along the way. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide for my first paragliding experience. Highly recommend!
Julio was super nice and friendly. The view is stunning. I did in the morning and it’s perfect. Highly recommended!!!

Awesome flying experience and viewsMing Kang K
Oct 17, 2022, 12:12:48 AM Took the flight with Julio, who was very experienced. Julio did well in explaining the instructions step by step and also the technicalities of para gliding. Every moment felt safe with Julio and the flight was awesome. Views that one could probably never imagine. Extremely recommended for adventurers in Zermatt.

Superb customer experiencefmu001
Dec 29, 2021, 12:18:12 AM Excellent pilot (indeed one of the best I have ever flown with) with whom we did a scenic flight close to the Matterhorn. Everything was top from the start to the end (even the weather but I guess he has little influence on it 😁). Superb customer experiennce. If you want to ever experience something special, book a tour with Flybypara.

Mind blowinxg experience over ZermattJunglist68
Oct 15, 2019, 12:29:48 PM I had my flight with Julio from FlyByPara on a sunny summer day in July and it was amazing! Of course I was excited as hell but not a single bit worried, as Julio is a great guy and explains you everything and really makes you feel comfortable with your decision to lift off! Also, after a mind blowing flight first over the mountains and then Zermatt itself I got loads of pictures and even videos which make me smile every time I watch them. Thanks for everythkng and hopefully see you again for another flight someday ;))
