What an incredible experience flying over the alps and the Matterhorn! Julio made everything super easy. His communication was excellent and his talent as a pilot is second to none. There are several other options for paragliding out of Zermatt but I’m sure no one is his equal for safety, quality of service and just plain fun!!!

I was really scared to do this, but I'm so glad I did! One thing that I can say is that I felt so safe the entire time paragliding. Our pilot Julio was simply the best! He was so engaging and warm, if we ever met again, I'd be sure to say hello! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience! It won't be one that we'll forget. Take care always!

MUST DO if you are in Zermatt. Incredible views and overall just an amazing experience.

We left in the morning just when the sun burnt off the fog, and the views were incredible. The entire process was seamless, thanks to our guides, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. It was nothing like I’ve ever done, and words enough can’t describe the feeling you have while flying in the sky. If you are on the fence, this is your sign to do it. There is nothing in the world like this. Just be weary if you get motion sickness; I felt a little nauseous at the end.

Julio is the best pilot ever , so does Eric, Julio is so nice , talented, humorous, patient and sweet. Always put the safety first, comfort us when we are feeling nervous ,share a lot useful information we need , we cannot fly in in the morning when we get to the Gornergart. Fortunately, Julio and Eric didn't give up on us. Keep finding the solution for us, all the story seems like an action movie but turns out so good. We also experienced the helicopter ride in my very first time.

We have an unforgettable memory for this paragliding with Julio and Eric.

The best way to see the Matterhorn!!

What is the best way to see the Matterhorn?

Very easy to answer. Fly by Para!!

My husband and I chose to go tandem paragliding with Julio and Erik at FlybyPara during our two days trip to Zermatt and we are so happy that we did!

We were lucky enough to have a clear day and to see the Matterhorn when we arrived to Zermatt town from Lausanne. (Trust me, the weather in Zermatt and Switzerland is soooooo unpredictable as it indeed changes multiple times during the day) I was literally looking into MetteoSwiss app every day to check the weather during our entire trip to Switzerland.

We called Julio about an hour prior to our arrival at Zermatt and we are happy that we booked our first ever paragliding with Julio at FlybyPara! Even if it was on such a short notice, Julio called me back to notify that they would be able to fly both of us on the day of our arrival. And our experience with them? Two thumbs up!!! From the exciting beginning of flight briefing provided by Julio at the the Zermatt terminal, once in a life time paragliding with the amazing view of the Matterhorn and the safe landing on the ground at the end, it was a truly memorable and indescribable experience! My husband who flew with Erik obviously had a wonderful time of flying as shown in the attached pictures and Julio was a great pilot who always helped me manage my anxiety symptoms before the take off and during the flight.

Put simply, it is impossible not to feel humbled by the beauty of Switzerland’s most famous mountain(unless you’re unlucky enough to get a cloudy day, in which case you might not see the peak at all) and if you would like to make your trip to this beautiful town of Zermatt more special, look no further, but book with Julio at FlybyPara! They are fun, professional and quite understanding and I strongly recommend them for anyone interested in paragliding in Zermatt. You won’t be disappointed and I guarantee you will love and remember the experience!

I randomly had the thought of going for paragliding, and Julio was the only one willing to fly with me in the relatively cloudy and windy weather in Zermatt. he has an amazing personality and he made my whole first experience of paragliding so enjoyable from start to finish. the ride went extremely smooth and he did a couple of manoeuvres in the air, and checked with me if i was okay to go for the manoeuvres again. truly an unforgettable experience. thanks Julio for being so warm and welcoming and sporty.
