Amazing view with best guide!

Julio was very accommodating from the very first time we stepped into his office to enquire on Paragliding. Very friendly and even provided tips and recommendations for sightseeing around Zermatt. Before, during and after paragliding, Julio made sure everything was okay and check in on you. The experience was great, very memorable & scenic. Pictures and video were amazing too. Thank you Julio!

The best way to see the Matterhorn!!

What is the best way to see the Matterhorn?

Very easy to answer. Fly by Para!!

My husband and I chose to go tandem paragliding with Julio and Erik at FlybyPara during our two days trip to Zermatt and we are so happy that we did!

We were lucky enough to have a clear day and to see the Matterhorn when we arrived to Zermatt town from Lausanne. (Trust me, the weather in Zermatt and Switzerland is soooooo unpredictable as it indeed changes multiple times during the day) I was literally looking into MetteoSwiss app every day to check the weather during our entire trip to Switzerland.

We called Julio about an hour prior to our arrival at Zermatt and we are happy that we booked our first ever paragliding with Julio at FlybyPara! Even if it was on such a short notice, Julio called me back to notify that they would be able to fly both of us on the day of our arrival. And our experience with them? Two thumbs up!!! From the exciting beginning of flight briefing provided by Julio at the the Zermatt terminal, once in a life time paragliding with the amazing view of the Matterhorn and the safe landing on the ground at the end, it was a truly memorable and indescribable experience! My husband who flew with Erik obviously had a wonderful time of flying as shown in the attached pictures and Julio was a great pilot who always helped me manage my anxiety symptoms before the take off and during the flight.

Put simply, it is impossible not to feel humbled by the beauty of Switzerland’s most famous mountain(unless you’re unlucky enough to get a cloudy day, in which case you might not see the peak at all) and if you would like to make your trip to this beautiful town of Zermatt more special, look no further, but book with Julio at FlybyPara! They are fun, professional and quite understanding and I strongly recommend them for anyone interested in paragliding in Zermatt. You won’t be disappointed and I guarantee you will love and remember the experience!

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.
