Enjoy panoramic views of the Alps, glide across glaciers, and experience the unforgettable beauty of the Matterhorn.
Per Person
Discover Zermatt from a completely different perspective with the FLYMATTERHORN Half-Day VIP Experience, a premium and highly personalized tandem paragliding adventure created for guests who want more than a standard flight.
FLYMATTERHORN is not only paragliding — it is a complete VIP experience in the Matterhorn region.
The Half-Day VIP gives you approximately 3–4 hours dedicated to your individual flying experience, with more flexibility, more personalized attention and more time to adapt the program to the mountain conditions of the day.
Depending on weather, wind, thermals and operational conditions, your experience may include one extended panoramic flight or up to two different tandem paragliding flights from selected take-off areas around Zermatt.
Your experience begins at our official meeting point at FLYBYPARA ZERMATT, Zermatt Train Station, and normally finishes again at the same meeting point after your Half-Day VIP program.
Price: CHF 700 per person + 8.1% Swiss VAT
Mountain transport, photos and videos, food, snacks, drinks, accommodation and other optional extras are not included unless specifically stated in your booking confirmation.
The FLYMATTERHORN Half-Day VIP is designed for travelers who want something more exclusive than a conventional tandem paragliding flight in Zermatt.
Instead of organizing only one fixed flight, the Half-Day format gives your professional pilot approximately 3–4 hours dedicated to your experience.
This creates much greater flexibility to:
The exact program is always adapted to weather, wind, thermals, mountain transport, passenger requirements and safety conditions.
The CHF 700 price reflects a premium 3–4 hour experience, not simply the number of minutes spent flying.
During the Half-Day VIP, a professional tandem pilot dedicates substantially more time to your individual program than during a standard scheduled flight.
The experience includes professional planning, weather evaluation, preparation, coordination and flexibility throughout the half-day period.
You are paying for:
The Half-Day VIP is therefore designed as a complete premium Matterhorn experience, rather than simply a longer version of a standard tandem flight.
Your experience begins at our official meeting point:
FLYBYPARA ZERMATT – Zermatt Train Station
Please follow the exact meeting instructions provided with your booking confirmation.
At the meeting point, our team or your pilot will:
Because weather conditions in the Alps can change quickly, the final take-off location may be selected shortly before departure.
At the end of your Half-Day VIP experience, the activity normally finishes again at the same official meeting point at Zermatt Train Station.
This provides a convenient and easy-to-find starting and finishing point in central Zermatt.
One of the greatest advantages of the Half-Day VIP is flexibility.
Depending on the natural flying conditions, your pilot may organize the experience in different ways.
When thermals and wind conditions are favorable, your pilot may use the available conditions for one longer and more extensive flight.
This may allow more airtime and the possibility of exploring a larger section of the Alpine landscape.
On other days, conditions may make it more suitable to complete two separate tandem flights.
These may potentially operate from different take-off areas and provide different perspectives of Zermatt and the surrounding mountains.
Two flights are not guaranteed.
The number of flights, flight duration, route and take-off location depend on weather, wind, thermal activity, transport logistics and safety considerations.
One of the defining features of the FLYMATTERHORN experience is the exceptional scenery surrounding Zermatt.
Whenever weather and flying conditions allow, our pilots aim to create a flight line that gives guests an impressive panoramic perspective in front of the Matterhorn and brings them closer to the Matterhorn scenery while maintaining appropriate safety margins.
During the experience you may enjoy panoramic views of:
The exact distance, route and viewing angle cannot be guaranteed because paragliding depends entirely on natural conditions.
We therefore describe this experience as providing panoramic Matterhorn views and, when conditions allow, a flight perspective in front of the Matterhorn.
Depending on weather, season, wind direction and operational conditions, your pilot selects the most appropriate take-off location.
Typical take-off areas may be located approximately between 2,400 and 3,883 metres above sea level.
The highest take-off location is not automatically the best choice.
Your pilot evaluates:
The Half-Day format provides additional flexibility to adapt the take-off location and flight strategy to the conditions.
Your flight is operated by an experienced Swiss-qualified tandem paragliding pilot.
Your pilot manages all technical aspects of the activity, including:
No previous paragliding experience is required.
You simply need to listen carefully and follow a few straightforward instructions during take-off and landing.

Safety always has priority.
The pilot has the final decision regarding:
The activity will never be operated simply to avoid a cancellation when the pilot considers the conditions unsafe.
We understand that many visitors have limited time in Zermatt, so we aim to maintain a flexible and guest-friendly approach when weather affects the activity.
If the originally planned conditions are not suitable, we may first attempt to:
If weather or safety conditions prevent the experience from operating and rescheduling is not possible, a refund can be arranged according to the applicable booking conditions, less unavoidable bank or payment-service fees where applicable.
For cancellations initiated by the guest, the cancellation deadline and conditions applicable to the reservation will apply.
If your plans change, please contact us as early as possible so that we can help find the best available solution.
A standard tandem flight is normally organized around one scheduled flight.
The Half-Day VIP is fundamentally different.
It provides:
More time. More flexibility. More personalized attention.

This experience can be particularly suitable for:
CHF 700 per person + 8.1% Swiss VAT.
Transport, photos and videos, food, snacks, drinks, accommodation and other extras are not included unless specifically stated.
