Please don't show up to your flight unannounced in fashion/city shoes!!!

Dress appropriately for the time of year in the mountains of Zermatt. It can be hot & sunny in the summer months and quite cold in the winter.

Your pilot will have a "Flight Suit" (covers your clothes) to keep you warm while flying.

We will also provide you with warm gloves and a helmet.

Sunglasses (or your own prescription glasses) are recommended. We fly at about 35-40 kmh (22-25 mph) and the glasses help keep the wind out of your eyes.

The Online Booking system requires a valid Credit Card – this is just used for a security deposit (like when you book your hotel).

Each passenger will need to pay their pilot after the flight. This can be done with a Credit Card or Cash (Swiss France only please!).

If we are not able to fly, due to wind/weather – there is no charge to you from Swiss Paraglide (for the paragliding flight).

Paragliding is highly weather dependent – especially due to the wind here in the big mountains of Zermatt.

If we are not able to fly because of weather (wind, clouds, rain/snow), then there is no charge to you from Swiss Paraglide &ndash: your credit card is Not charged until after your flight with us.

Absolutely normal!

Some passengers are nervous before the start, thinking that paragliding is like Bungee-jumping or Sky-diving &ndash: it really isn't! Paragliding is usually very relaxed and almost every passenger that is nervous, once in the air, shouts out: "This is amazing – not scary at all!"

You should be excited, but not too scared/nervous.

If you are between the ages of 5 to 70 – and are reasonable fit, you will be able to fly as a passenger with us. ( See Pre-flight: Fitness & Age )

We can take passengers up to 90kg flying. If you are heavier but very fit – feel free to contact us, we might be able to organize a lighter pilot and make an exception. ( See Pre-flight: Fitness & Age )

The Photo & Video Package is an optional CHF 40.- and is not included in the flight price.

No. The lift ticket up the mountain is not included in the flight price. Some people aready have purchased Ski Passes or Peak Passes and don not need to buy a one-way ticket to the take-off area. ( See Pre-flight: Mountain Transport )

The price of the lift ticket depends on which take-off we are going to and also what time of year (they use "dynamic" pricing). Exact information can be found on the Zermatt Bergbahnen (Lift Company) website: Zermatt Bergbahnen

Unless we have informed you otherwise, please wait to purchase the lift ticket to the take-off area, until you have met your pilot. Otherwise you may find you have bought the wrong ticket (and they won't refund mistakes...)

If you have a valid Swiss Pass or Half Fare Card from Swiss Railways (SBB), you will receive a 50% discount on one-way tickets to the take-off area. Swiss Passes

Yes! Every passenger should have their own comprehensive accident insurance.

If you are from an EU country, then you are covered for paragliding by your standard health & accident insurance.

Swiss Paraglide Zermatt also has an extra layer of insurance protection, offered through the Swiss Paragliding Association (SHV-FSVL), that covers up to CHR 100'00.- in Switzerland (on top of your private insurance – this is an extra service we offer and is not meant to be your only insurance). See "Tandem"

If you are sensitive to motion sickness, please let your pilot know before your flight! It's normally not a problem, but some people can a little queasy towards the end of their flight – nothing to be ashamed of, but keep your pilot informed as you fly, as they can fly more gently if they know.

For those that are very sensitve to motion, we reccomend taking a motion sickness pill at least an hour before your flight. Things are more fun if your tummy isn't unhappy.

Sorry no, at the moment there is no Sky Diving company based in Zermatt.

Going for a tandem paragliding flight in Switzerland is generally a safe activity. The Swiss Tandem Paragliding license is very highly rated and issued by the Swiss Aviation Authority.

You can cancel your flight with no charge, up to 12:00 noon the day before your booking. After that you will be charged the full amount for your flight. ( Please see our Terms & Conditions for details: Cancellation )

Generally you should plan on about two hours in total. This is from meeting your pilot, to being all finished up. Obviously, if we have to wait for wind/weather, this can take longer, but normally around 2 hours.

If the sky is clear, yes! The views of the Matterhorn are absolutely stunning.

Please note: there are days that are great for paragliding, but the Matterhorn is hiding in a cloud. We are not in charge of the weather and don't guarentee that you will see if during your flight.
