Zermatt paragliding in front of the Matterhorn

You meet the pilot at the agreed meeting point in Zermatt and ride up with him on the mountain railroad. Depending on the weather and wind conditions, the exact launch site will be chosen at the meeting. Usually this is above 2000 m above sea level, for longer flights at about 3000 m above sea level.

Good, sturdy shoes are a must. UV sunglasses and weather appropriate clothing are also important. You will get an introduction directly from the pilot before you start. During the paragliding flight you will enjoy the view of the 4000-meter-high mountains with the Matterhorn as the most prominent peak.

Practical information:

• Take GA or Half-Fare Card for cable car

If you spend several days in Zermatt, you can experience a special spectacle at sunrise. Go to the church steps in Zermatt and enjoy the view of the Matterhorn. The sun first appears at the top of the Matterhorn. Afterwards, it looks like it is moving down the east face of the Matterhorn.
