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!
Mark Lai
I want to give 10 stars if possible! Julio and Eric are not just professional pilots but also friendly, passion guys to guide me and my wife for everything we need in Zermatt.
We did have fun with Julio and Eric - Flybypapa!
Highly recommend you to have fun with "Flybypapa" as well!!!
Michael Hammond
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!!!
Fernando Vazquez
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.

感受大地與我的同頻率心跳就在馬特洪峰身邊，心胸徜徉無比幸福的經歷*感謝FLYBYPARA帶路飛行*
Feeling the heartbeat of the earth and me at the same frequency right next to the Matterhorn, it is an extremely happy experience
*Thanks to FLYBYPARA for guiding the flight*
Manuela Jaeger
Dear Julio, thank you for this great once in a lifetime experience and for the "Rock 'n' Roll" 😉
Special thanks also for helping my mom during her start with Amedee. You and Amedee did a very great job. Thank you so much 😘
D Deguzman
What an amazing experience!! The views were spectacular and our guides made us feel at ease and comfortable with the whole process. Definitely give it a try and experience Zermatt from a different perspective! Thank you, Julio and team!!
Lauren W
Highly recommend this tour.
My partner and I flew with Julio and Amede on a beautiful sunny day in late June. The meeting point was very easy to find, right at the train station of Zermatt and I was texted pics through WhatsApp of where to go the day before our booking. This was our first time paragliding and I was given clear instructions on what would happen in order to launch, during the tram up to the launching area. It's the most relaxing and beautiful flight down. I felt very safe and comfortable, as did my partner. We were both given extra layers, gloves, helmet etc for the flight. They had go pros and had the option of buying videos/pics at the end. 40 chf extra. I highly recommend this tour with Julio and his crew!

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!
Taylor S
Amazing Experience !!
Loved our experience ! Another company actually canceled on us with not much explanation and Julio and the team were so nice to turn a bad experience into an amazing one! Very trustworthy pilots that waited until the wind was perfect! 10/10!
黃小秋
2025/1月體驗冬天在策馬特搭乘飛行傘
在白雪覆蓋的山坡向前奔跑（雖然滑雪腳有點受傷，但是我還是可以跑😆)，雙腳踩不到陸地的那一刻，瞬間感受到飛翔的自由，眼前的景色讓人目不暇接。白雪皚皚的山谷、遠方的馬特洪峰，清晰可見。陽光透過雲層，將整個視野所及範圍都染上金色，更加迷人。整趟飛行除了感動還充滿了對大地的敬畏！上次搭乘是在夏天，景色截然不同！
非常棒，永生難忘的回憶！
真的強力推薦👍👍👍👍👍

Safe & Excitement
Enjoy the bird eyes view from the sky on Zermatt and Matterhorn, totally made the whole trip even more exciting and memorable, my whole business management team love this! Julio will never take risk on his customers, only allowed us to fly when the sky is clear and safe! It’s a “must do ” activity in Zermatt town! And you have to do it with FlyByPara!
Allyson E
My husband and I had a wonderful experience paragliding with Julio and Martin! Communication with Julio before the experience was easy and helpful; he helped us prepare what to bring and kept watch of the weather to ensure we knew in advance if we were going to be flying that day.
The flight was perfect. All instructions were very clear and we felt safe. There was little wind that day, but Julio clearly communicated how we could take off powerfully and it was splendid. Great instructor and a perfect experience in Zermatt!
Ovidia C
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!
John W
Definitely go for this if you’re in the area.
Julio runs this business and was awesome to work with from booking all the way to the end. You can tell he really loves his job and sharing this incredible experience with others. Super friendly and helpful throughout. He flew with another customer and I was with his friend Airic, who is a fantastic pilot and has loads of knowledge of the area. I highly recommend! Thanks again guys!
Sireethorn Tirachotikul
I really loved it! Everything was perfect in the air, I had an amazing pilot, julio. He is very nice, well-prepared and totally put my fears at ease. He really made my day was super fun, safe, and only best vibes!

Best Paragliding Adventure
Best adventure ever! Julio was very helpful with helping me get the adventure booked. Eric was my incredible pilot who made the entire flight exhilarating and fun! I had a huge smile the entire time. Highly recommend FlyByPara!!!
Mai Mai
來到瑞士就想要愛的迫降，跟團只有策馬特有機會，當天早上加line詢問下午能不能飛，還好天氣OK，才有今天這一次的體驗。
先到火車站集合，再跟飛行師傅一起坐火車上觀景台，期間他們都很關注天氣，確定起飛前也還會再次確定，一切以安全考量為優先。
第一次飛行傘的經驗就獻給策馬特了，可惜飛行的時候馬特洪峰被遮住了
但今天還遇到小火車暫時停駛，所以能順利飛行已經是萬幸，若夏日的時候來，一定更漂亮！

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!
Kathrin Prettin
Es war sehr schön und sehr beeindruckend.... Vielen Dank. Ein Traum ist in Erfüllung gegangen.

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!

Great time in the sky
We like flybypara as they are friendly and not too commercial. The pilots always checking out on us to ensure we are okay and having a good time. I and my sister had a great fun in the sky with Julio and David. Definitely would recommend to our friends!
Helen Law
My flying experience with Julio was exceptional. His attentive and meticulous nature ensured that every aspect of the journey was perfect, making sure I was comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend him for an outstanding experience.
Soumyadeep Ghoshal
Super fun experience! Julio and Eric are experienced riders with over 30 years of experience. They are warm, friendly and super nice to talk to. Great chatting with them along the way to the top. I’d recommend spending 40 CHF to get the photos and videos!
Ellaine E
Great experience!
First of all, Julio was great!! One of the things I said I’ll do in Zermatt is to paraglide by the Matterhorn. I came there later in the afternoon and it seemed like he was actually about to go home. But, Julio accommodated me! We were able to take the last ride up and we ended up paragliding a little bit before sunset! It was amazing!! Nothing can compare to it. The pictures and videos are also worth it. Julio took great videos and pictures with his go pro.
I highly recommend this experience!!
MeiQi T

Joo Seng Quek
My family had the most awesome paragliding experience today with Julio and Martin. Weather was fantastic and we were made to feel safe and comfortable throughout. If you are in Zermatt, Julio and his team of pilots come highly recommended - the absolute best in the business. Thank you Julio and Martin!
Maezel Co
I was really scared to do this, but I'm so glad I did! One thing that I can say is that I felt so safe the entire time paragliding. Our pilot Julio was simply the best! He was so engaging and warm, if we ever met again, I'd be sure to say hello! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience! It won't be one that we'll forget. Take care always!
Josef Parreno
It was an absolutely spectacular experience, I had an awesome view from Up above seeing the Swiss Alps especially up close to Matterhorn. Eric was very professional and knowledgeable, I had so Much fun flying with him.
I would highly recommend to try and experience paragliding with him. I would definitely do it again.. Such a Very friendly Team — FLYBYPARA. 🙌

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 🤗
Lim Hock
My first time doing the tandem paragliding in Zermatt by FLYBYPARA with my instructor Julio.
In terms of safety, he is very professional, keeps on checking the wind whether is suitable to fly.
I'm glad I did the paragliding in Zermatt and flying around Matterhorn. The view is very nice. U will never regret.
Kylie Max
MUST DO if you are in Zermatt. Incredible views and overall just an amazing experience.
We left in the morning just when the sun burnt off the fog, and the views were incredible. The entire process was seamless, thanks to our guides, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. It was nothing like I’ve ever done, and words enough can’t describe the feeling you have while flying in the sky. If you are on the fence, this is your sign to do it. There is nothing in the world like this. Just be weary if you get motion sickness; I felt a little nauseous at the end.
Kelly Tay
The views are great! With snow covered mountains, it's like paragliding in winter but yet it's the start of Summer. Julio and company are a fun group of people. Videos and pictures are nicely taken but would be great if they can put it as a montage too. So that it can be readily shared in FB or Instagram.
Overall experience was amazing.
Lynn Chuang
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.
Joaquin Mandia
I randomly had the thought of going for paragliding, and Julio was the only one willing to fly with me in the relatively cloudy and windy weather in Zermatt. he has an amazing personality and he made my whole first experience of paragliding so enjoyable from start to finish. the ride went extremely smooth and he did a couple of manoeuvres in the air, and checked with me if i was okay to go for the manoeuvres again. truly an unforgettable experience. thanks Julio for being so warm and welcoming and sporty.
Karen Alexander
Once in a lifetime experience. My children and I are still talking about it, looking at the photos and watching the video. Wonderful day from the start to the finish. Our three guides were personable and made us feel so comfortable. It is a Yes …..Yes….Yes!!!!

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!

MUST DO if you are in Zermatt. Incredible views and overall just an amazing experience.
We left in the morning just when the sun burnt off the fog, and the views were incredible. The entire process was seamless, thanks to our guides, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. It was nothing like I’ve ever done, and words enough can’t describe the feeling you have while flying in the sky. If you are on the fence, this is your sign to do it. There is nothing in the world like this. Just be weary if you get motion sickness; I felt a little nauseous at the end.

Great time in the sky
We like flybypara as they are friendly and not too commercial. The pilots always checking out on us to ensure we are okay and having a good time. I and my sister had a great fun in the sky with Julio and David. Definitely would recommend to our friends!

Highly recommend this tour.
My partner and I flew with Julio and Amede on a beautiful sunny day in late June. The meeting point was very easy to find, right at the train station of Zermatt and I was texted pics through WhatsApp of where to go the day before our booking. This was our first time paragliding and I was given clear instructions on what would happen in order to launch, during the tram up to the launching area. It's the most relaxing and beautiful flight down. I felt very safe and comfortable, as did my partner. We were both given extra layers, gloves, helmet etc for the flight. They had go pros and had the option of buying videos/pics at the end. 40 chf extra. I highly recommend this tour with Julio and his crew!

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!

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!

Definitely go for this if you’re in the area.
Julio runs this business and was awesome to work with from booking all the way to the end. You can tell he really loves his job and sharing this incredible experience with others. Super friendly and helpful throughout. He flew with another customer and I was with his friend Airic, who is a fantastic pilot and has loads of knowledge of the area. I highly recommend! Thanks again guys!
