Enjoy the bird eyes view from the sky on Zermatt and Matterhorn, totally made the whole trip even more exciting and memorable, my whole business management team love this! Julio will never take risk on his customers, only allowed us to fly when the sky is clear and safe! It’s a “must do” activity in Zermatt town! And you have to do it with FlyByPara!

Julio Riviera Armijos was an amazing pilot! I had originally booked for a flight on Saturday but the weather was not looking good. He personally reached out to reschedule to the next day as the forecast called for clear skies. He was so kind and made the flight so much fun. The views were absolutely breathtaking and I would 100% do this again! Thank you Julio for making my time in Zermatt one I will never forget!

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!

Bästa erfarenhet i hela mitt liv. Julio gjorde allt så mycket lättare. Han gjorde mig mindre rädd och att jag vågade.

Detta är minnet jag kommer att bära i mitt hjärta resten av livet.

Tack Julio för en fantastisk upplevelse.

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.
