How the Full-Day Experience Works

Unlike a standard single-flight experience, the Full-Day VIP package gives us greater flexibility to plan the day around the best available flying conditions.

Depending on weather, wind and operational conditions, your pilot may select different take-off locations around Zermatt.

The objective is to create the best possible combination of flying, mountain scenery and time in the Alps rather than following a rigid itinerary.

For this reason, the exact number of flights, flight duration, take-off locations and route cannot be guaranteed in advance.

Flight Conditions

Paragliding is a weather-dependent outdoor activity.

Flying possibilities depend mainly on:

  • Wind speed and direction
  • Visibility
  • Cloud cover
  • Rain or snowfall
  • Thermal activity
  • Mountain weather
  • Take-off and landing conditions
  • Professional safety assessment by the pilot

The itinerary may therefore be modified during the day.

Safety always has priority over the planned program.

Passenger Requirements

Passengers must be able to walk or run a short distance during take-off while following the pilot’s instructions.

Recommended passenger weight is generally:

20–90 kg

The accepted weight may vary depending on wind conditions, take-off location and the pilot’s safety assessment.

Children may participate depending on:

  • Age
  • Weight
  • Height
  • Weather and flight conditions
  • Pilot safety assessment

We recommend:

  • Warm clothing

Weather Policy

If conditions are not suitable for the original plan, the pilot may:

  • Change the take-off location
  • Change the flight schedule
  • Wait for better conditions
  • Modify the itinerary
  • Reduce or change the number of flights
  • Reschedule the experience
  • Cancel the activity if safe flying is not possible

The exact flight duration and number of flights cannot be guaranteed because they depend on natural weather and flying conditions.

Cancellation Policy

The applicable cancellation conditions are those displayed at the time of booking.

If the experience cannot be operated because of unsuitable weather or safety conditions, depending on the applicable booking conditions we may offer:

  • Rescheduling to another date
