What an incredible experience flying over the alps and the Matterhorn! Julio made everything super easy. His communication was excellent and his talent as a pilot is second to none. There are several other options for paragliding out of Zermatt but I’m sure no one is his equal for safety, quality of service and just plain fun!!!

Julio Riviera Armijos was an amazing pilot! I had originally booked for a flight on Saturday but the weather was not looking good. He personally reached out to reschedule to the next day as the forecast called for clear skies. He was so kind and made the flight so much fun. The views were absolutely breathtaking and I would 100% do this again! Thank you Julio for making my time in Zermatt one I will never forget!

Super recommended if you want to do paragliding in zermatt!!!

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!

Smooth and safe flight in Zermatt

Julio with Fly by Para was an amazing pilot for my tandem flight in Zermatt! He ensured I was safe and comfortable from start to end. I expressed concerns about motion sickness and he went above and beyond to provide a smooth flight and check in before any twists and turns. I had the time of my life!

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!

Fantastisk upplevelse med bästa och erfaren Pilot Julio.

Rekommenderar honom starkt för de som vill göra Paragliding.

Bästa erfarenhet i hela mitt liv. Julio gjorde allt så mycket lättare. Han gjorde mig mindre rädd och att jag vågade.

Detta är minnet jag kommer att bära i mitt hjärta resten av livet.

Tack Julio för en fantastisk upplevelse.

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 🤗
