Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

extremely easy and pleasant experience. admin staff helped me book in quickly. My pilot was super helpful and knowledgeable as he grew up in the area. we had to change takeoff locations due to the weather, and eventually had to cancel altogether - but the pilot and company were able to offer me another chance at taking off the next day.

I would recommend anyone booking this experience to stay atleast 1 night in Zermatt just in case the weather (wind) changes like it did in my case, so you have the chance to try again the next day without taking another train up….The trains are expensive in Switzerland….

My pilot Joël was extremely helpful, and when we did take off the next day I felt completely safe and comfortable, even with some optional “Gforce” spins near the end of the flight - really fun if you don’t get dizzy.

Further, Joel made sure we got plenty of different photo angles off the Matterhorn and surroundings, and we saw many wild mountain goats, which he also captured in our video. I was able to download my videos and photos almost immediately after we landed. This has been the highlight of my Europe trip! Highly recommend this company! I can’t wait to come back.

Writing this review again for Matterhorn Paragliding at Zermatt as this is a comparison review with paragliding at Zermatt vs at St Moritz. I did paragliding at St Moritz 2 days after doing it in Zermatt. My experience at Zermatt with Matterhorn Paragliding was very much professional, much more time in the Air more than promised (20 min but actual time we flew was 35min), takeoff and landing was easy and smooth. I do not know name of their staff I spoke to but she arranged the flight at office closing hours for same day activity and was very friendly, cooperative and helpful. They have professional pilots who make you comfortable and handle the flight and the consensual stunts
very well ( Pilot Jan Necas in my case)

The point I have to make here is that its better to do paragliding in Zermatt with Matterhorn paragliding than at St Moritz as we get more time in the air and fly from a good height as compared to at St Moritz which was just 10min in the air. If one wants to enjoy paragliding then better to do it at Zermatt than at St Moritz. Their the views are good with lakes and towns however there you go almost straight for landing after takeoff with some consensual stunts.

We had the most wonderful experience this morning with Matterhorn Paragliding. From the time we made our reservation to the tine we finished, we had the most professional service and support provided by the team. My daughter and I flew with Alan and Martin as our pilots, they are amazing, very skilled and experienced pilots. They gave us so much information during our flight, familiarizing us with all the sights.
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a world class experience in paragliding. Thank you so so much!

A truly incredible experience! We had the most amazing time and everything was perfect: the instructors were experienced and professional, yet warm and very kind. Everything went smoothly and was planned out meticulously. I cannot recommend enough! It is definitely worth every penny and if you are even considering paragliding in Zermatt just book with Matterhorn Paragliding — you won’t regret it!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, Alan and Larissa, for an absolutely wonderful time.

Alan was an Excellent and Super Friendly Pilot. We flew from Gornergrat near Matterhorn Peak in Switzerland. He showed us the best views of the Swiss Alps and the flight duration was much longer than many other Paragliding companies offered. It's a 10/10 for Paragliding with Alan. I don't know if you'll even believe this, My wife lost her shoe in the Mountains during the take off and Alan personally went back to the take off place and brought the shoe back to us the next day. If you are in Zermatt, have a fun ride with Matterhorn Paragliding.

What a wonderful experience for my family of four. Booking was extremely easy, they are very responsive, and have an incredible team. Larissa was in touch with us from the minute we arrived in Zermatt, they were watching the weather to make sure we had a good experience, especially since it was going to be the first time my two children (ages 10 and 11) went paragliding. Alan was very helpful and patient, especially when my husband had to run back to the hotel as I forgot my lift ticket...what an incredible group of pilots. I highly recommend them!!!!!

We were trying to make our Zermatt trip a memorable one, and the cherry on top of a fantastic trip was definitely flying with these guys! Bruce and Alan were beyond fantastic! Super friendly and gave us clear and simple instructions, being careful not to overwhelm us with directions. They took all the precautions and made sure we understood everything even doing test runs. The views were just amazing, and the whole experience breathtaking. Cant wait to go back and this time fly from our beloved Matterhorn. Thank you guys keep it up! I will treasure this forever.

Now the spanish review you were looking for:
Queriamos hacer nuestro viaje a Zermatt memorable, y la cereza del pastel definitivamente fue volar con ellos, Bruce y Alan fueron fantásticos! Super amigables y nos dieron instrucciones claras y simples, teniendo cuidado de no abrumarnos con ellas, tomaron todas las precauciones y hasta hicimos ensayos de como correr. Las vistas espectaculares y todo sin palabras, no me aguanto por regresar y esta vez saltar desde nuestro amado Matterhorn, atresorare esto por siempre! Gracias

Paragliding with Alan was a once in a lifetime experience. I was very nervous and he was very calming through the whole thing. He made me feel very safe and explained everything to make me feel more at ease. He even put up with my nervous/excited screamingly on take off. I would thoroughly recommend you to take a flight with Alan. It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had and the views were amazing. You will never see the Swiss Alps in a better way. I will cherish my pictures and memories forever. Thank you Alan.

Awesome experience with Alan! I flew with my two daughters, age 20 and 22.

Alan took great care of us. We had to postpone our first two flights because of High winds. Allen was more interested in our comfort and safety then he was collecting our money.

We finally got to fly the morning of our departure from Zermatt. Alan helped make this possible by arranging the required COVID-19 testing that we would’ve had to have done in Geneva.

He really went above and beyond, and we thoroughly enjoyed our flight! Highly recommended. It was a highlight of our trip to Switzerland!

Are you looking for some excitment in your life? Then book the “klein Matterhorn” flight with Alan. We had so much fun from start to the end of the flight. He is a very experienced pilot and took so much time explaining everything in detail! I felt super safe and can’t wait to fly with Alan again in thr near future🤩. The organization with Larissa from Matterhorn-paragliding was smooth and very professional!
