Fly Closer to the Matterhorn. Fly Longer. Fly VIP.
FLYMATTERHORN VIP®, operated by FLYBYPARA, is the most exclusive tandem paragliding flight in Zermatt — a premium, high-altitude paragliding experience built for travelers who want the very best the Swiss Alps have to offer. Recognized as our best-selling and most prestigious flight, it offers extended airtime, higher launch elevations, and the best opportunity to fly close to the world-famous Matterhorn with a certified professional pilot by your side.
Why Choose FLYMATTERHORN VIP
Closest Flight to the Matterhorn
Launching from premium alpine take-off points between 2,600 and 3,100 meters, this flight puts you nearer to the legendary Matterhorn than standard tandem flights — one of the most photographed mountains in the world, seen from a vantage point almost nobody gets to experience on foot.
Extended Airtime & Higher Launches
Where many standard flights last just 10–15 minutes, FLYMATTERHORN VIP delivers approximately 25–30 minutes of flight time — nearly double the airtime — thanks to its higher alpine launch points and, conditions permitting, use of rising thermal currents to extend the flight even further.
Highlight: Thermal Flying Opportunities
When weather conditions allow, your pilot can ride rising thermal air currents to gain extra altitude — stretching your high-altitude paragliding experience beyond the standard flight time.
Premium VIP Service & Photography
Every guest on a FLYMATTERHORN VIP flight receives personalized attention from a certified pilot, from pre-flight briefing to landing. The premium paragliding experience is also built with photographers in mind — with panoramic views of the Matterhorn, glaciers, and alpine ridgelines offering some of the most spectacular photo opportunities in the Swiss Alps.
What's Included in Your VIP Flight
Every FLYMATTERHORN VIP booking includes a certified professional tandem pilot, a full safety briefing, helmet and professional flight equipment, passenger insurance, and a flight certificate on request. An optional HD photo and video package (CHF 40 per person) is available if you want to capture your Matterhorn paragliding experience on film.
How the VIP Experience Unfolds
Briefing, Ascent & Take-Off
You'll meet your pilot in Zermatt for a full safety briefing before heading up to one of the premium alpine take-off locations overlooking the Matterhorn. After a simple safety check and a few easy running steps, you'll lift gently into the sky — no jumping, no experience required.
In the Air Above the Swiss Alps
Glide above the Matterhorn, Zermatt village, alpine glaciers, mountain lakes, forests, and snow-capped peaks during your 25–30 minute high-altitude paragliding flight, before a smooth, controlled landing back in Zermatt.
Who This VIP Flight Is Perfect For
FLYMATTERHORN VIP suits first-time flyers and seasoned adventure travelers alike — no previous paragliding experience is required. It's a favorite among couples, honeymooners, birthday and bucket-list travelers, photographers chasing the ultimate Matterhorn shot, and anyone looking for Switzerland's most scenic premium paragliding flight.
Safety & Seasonal Timing
Every flight is conducted by experienced, certified tandem pilots using equipment that meets Swiss and international safety standards, and flights operate only when weather allows. Summer (June–September) brings strong thermal activity for longer flights and high-altitude views, while autumn (September–November) offers crystal-clear visibility and calm conditions — both excellent windows for this high-altitude Matterhorn paragliding experience.
Good to Know Before You Book
Wear comfortable outdoor clothing and sturdy shoes, and bring sunglasses. No previous experience is needed, and the flight is suitable for most participants subject to standard weight and weather requirements. If conditions prevent safe flying, you'll receive a free rescheduling. Pricing is CHF 300.00 per person, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before your flight.
