Enjoy panoramic views of the Alps, glide across glaciers, and experience the unforgettable beauty of the Matterhorn.
Per Person
Experience one of Zermatt’s most distinctive premium tandem paragliding adventures with FLYMATTERHORN VIP, our signature flight designed for guests who want more airtime, personalized service and a particularly impressive perspective of the Matterhorn.
With approximately 25–30 minutes of airtime, depending on weather, wind, thermals and flying conditions, the VIP experience gives you more time to enjoy the spectacular Alpine landscape surrounding Zermatt.
A special feature of the FLYMATTERHORN VIP experience is that, whenever weather and flying conditions allow, the pilot will choose a flight line that brings you closer to the Matterhorn scenery and allows you to fly in front of the Matterhorn, creating an exceptional panoramic perspective of Switzerland’s most famous mountain.
The exact route can never be guaranteed because paragliding depends entirely on natural conditions, but our aim is always to provide the best possible combination of safety, airtime, panoramic views and overall flying experience.
FLYMATTERHORN VIP is one of our most requested premium paragliding packages in Zermatt and is especially recommended for guests who want something more exclusive than a standard tandem flight.
The VIP flight is designed to offer approximately 25–30 minutes in the air, subject to wind, thermals, weather and operational conditions.
Flight duration is approximate and cannot be guaranteed, as safety and suitable flying conditions always come first.
One of the special characteristics of this experience is the opportunity, whenever conditions allow, to approach the spectacular Matterhorn scenery more closely and enjoy a flight path in front of the Matterhorn, with outstanding panoramic views.
You may also enjoy views of:
The exact panorama varies according to the selected take-off location and weather conditions.
You will fly with an experienced Swiss-qualified tandem paragliding pilot.
Our pilots focus on:
No previous paragliding experience is required.
Your pilot manages the technical aspects of the flight while you simply follow a few basic instructions during take-off and landing.
Depending on weather, wind direction, snow conditions and operational requirements, FLYMATTERHORN VIP normally operates from selected take-off areas at approximately 2,400–3,100 metres above sea level.
The take-off location is chosen on the day according to the conditions.
The highest take-off point is not automatically the best option. Our pilots evaluate the wind direction, visibility, thermals, passenger profile and overall safety before deciding where to fly.
This flexibility allows us to select the location that offers the best possible flying conditions for your VIP experience.
Please allow approximately 2 hours for the complete activity.
This normally includes:
Transport times and waiting periods can vary depending on mountain transport, weather and operational conditions.
FLYMATTERHORN VIP is suitable for first-time passengers as well as guests who have already experienced paragliding.
You do not need previous flying experience.
You should, however, be able to follow the pilot’s instructions and normally take a few controlled steps during take-off and landing.
If you have questions about age, weight, mobility or whether this experience is suitable for you, please contact us before booking.
Mountain conditions can be significantly colder than conditions in Zermatt village.
We recommend:
Please avoid unsuitable footwear such as flip-flops.
Additional equipment requirements may vary according to the season and conditions.
Paragliding is a weather-dependent activity.
Flight duration, take-off location, altitude and route depend on factors including:
For this reason, 25–30 minutes of airtime is an approximate duration and cannot be guaranteed.
Safety always has priority.
If conditions are not suitable for the planned take-off location, your pilot may select another suitable location, adjust the flight plan, postpone the flight or recommend another option.
FLYMATTERHORN VIP is designed for guests searching for more than a basic tandem paragliding flight.
It combines:
Whether this is your first tandem flight or one of the highlights of your visit to Zermatt, FLYMATTERHORN VIP offers a distinctive way to experience the Matterhorn region from the air.
The Matterhorn is one of the dominant features of the Zermatt landscape, but visibility depends on weather and cloud conditions.
Our pilots aim to select the best available route and take-off location for panoramic views, but specific views, distances, flight paths and photographic angles cannot be guaranteed.
We describe the experience as flying with panoramic Matterhorn views and, when conditions allow, in front of the Matterhorn, rather than promising a flight directly over the mountain.
Photo and video options may be available for your flight.
Ask our team when booking or before departure for the current photo and video options.
We recommend securing cameras, phones and personal items carefully and following your pilot’s safety instructions regarding electronic devices during the flight.
Your exact meeting instructions, scheduled flight time and organizational information will be provided with your booking confirmation.
Because mountain weather can change quickly, we recommend remaining reachable before your scheduled flight in case our team needs to communicate an operational update.
Please arrive on time so that transport and pilot coordination can proceed smoothly.
FLYMATTERHORN VIP has limited daily availability, particularly during periods of strong demand and favorable flying weather.
Advance booking is therefore recommended.
For groups, special arrangements or specific timing requirements, please contact us before booking so that we can check pilot availability and organize the experience correctly.
