Zermatt Tandem Paragliding Tickets With Matterhorn Views

About this experience

Zermatt Tandem Paragliding Tickets Take to the skies above Zermatt for a spectacular tandem paragliding flight with unrivalled views of the Matterhorn. This 25-minute aerial adventure offers a completely new perspective on Switzerland's most famous mountain and the dramatic alpine landscape surrounding Zermatt valley. Your flight begins with a meeting at Bahnhofplatz 7 in central Zermatt, where you'll receive a comprehensive safety briefing from your qualified pilot. After taking the cable car to either Blauherd or Rothorn launch site (depending on wind conditions), you'll strap in for an exhilarating take-off that requires just a short run before you're soaring between 2,600 and 3,100 metres above sea level. As you glide through the alpine air, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the Matterhorn's iconic pyramid peak, the Gornergrat ridge, and the entire Zermatt valley spread out below. Your experienced pilot expertly navigates the thermals whilst you sit back and take in scenery that's impossible to appreciate from ground level. The flight concludes with a gentle landing back near your starting point in Zermatt.
