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.

My experience with FLYBYPARA paragliding was nothing short of exhilarating. From the moment I arrived at their base camp, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. Julio was knowledgeable and experienced, instantly putting my nerves at ease.

The safety briefing was comprehensive, covering all aspects of the flight and ensuring that I felt confident before takeoff. The equipment was top-notch, and I felt secure knowing that everything had been thoroughly checked and maintained.

As we ascended to the launch site, I was in awe of the stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The pilot, skilled and personable, explained each step of the process, making me feel like an active participant rather than just a passenger.

Once in the air, the sensation of gliding effortlessly through the sky was unlike anything I had ever experienced. The feeling of freedom was indescribable as we soared gracefully above valleys and mountains, catching thermals and riding the wind currents.

The pilot's expertise was evident as they navigated us through the air with precision and grace. They pointed out landmarks and shared interesting tidbits about the area, adding an educational element to the adventure.

The entire flight felt incredibly safe, with the pilot constantly monitoring conditions and making adjustments as needed. I never once felt anxious or uneasy, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the experience and appreciate the beauty of the natural surroundings.

As we prepared for landing, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the unforgettable journey I had just experienced. Touching down smoothly back at the base camp, I was filled with a sense of exhilaration and accomplishment.

Overall, my experience with FLYBYPARA paragliding exceeded all expectations. From the professionalism of the staff to the breathtaking views and thrilling flight, every aspect was exceptional. I would highly recommend FLYBYPARA to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in the sky.

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.

2025/1月體驗冬天在策馬特搭乘飛行傘

在白雪覆蓋的山坡向前奔跑(雖然滑雪腳有點受傷,但是我還是可以跑😆),雙腳踩不到陸地的那一刻,瞬間感受到飛翔的自由,眼前的景色讓人目不暇接。白雪皚皚的山谷、遠方的馬特洪峰,清晰可見。陽光透過雲層,將整個視野所及範圍都染上金色,更加迷人。整趟飛行除了感動還充滿了對大地的敬畏!上次搭乘是在夏天,景色截然不同!

非常棒,永生難忘的回憶!

真的強力推薦👍👍👍👍👍
