Zermatt Flights

I did 2 flights with Julio in Zermatt, one from Gornergratt and one from a hill near Hotel Trift. It was a super beautiful experience, I felt safe on the flight and also on the hike up to the takeoff point. I can say Julio is a great pilot and also a mountaineer! 🙏

Thanks man 🤗

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.

Great experience!

First of all, Julio was great!! One of the things I said I’ll do in Zermatt is to paraglide by the Matterhorn. I came there later in the afternoon and it seemed like he was actually about to go home. But, Julio accommodated me! We were able to take the last ride up and we ended up paragliding a little bit before sunset! It was amazing!! Nothing can compare to it. The pictures and videos are also worth it. Julio took great videos and pictures with his go pro.

I highly recommend this experience!!

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.

Best views of Matterhorn!

My husband and I flew with Julio and Martín and we had an amazing experience. It was our first time paragliding and we couldn't have picked a better place to do it than Zermatt. Both Julio and Martin have 30+ years of experience and they made our experience flying smooth and enjoyable! Highly recommended!
