Riederalp paragliding tandem in Valais

Experience the sensation of complete freedom in the air and glide over the breathtaking natural landscape of Valais. You can enjoy a view of the UNESCO-awarded Aletsch Glacier or catch a glimpse of the famous Matterhorn. Riederalp is a car-free area at over 1900 meters above sea level and is the perfect starting point for your airborne adventure.

A brief safety briefing and a short introductory course on paragliding will prepare you optimally for your flight. Additionally, you'll receive your equipment such as gloves or helmet. From the starting point, you will begin your flight with your tandem partner and head toward the valley opening. On clear days, you can even see the Matterhorn from here.

The landing takes place in Bitsch. Here, you will part ways with your tandem pilot and can start your return journey. The Matterhorn-Gotthard Railway stop is nearby.
