Experience a Paragliding Mountain Flight in Zermatt, Switzerland

Since starting paragliding in September 2014, I turned a first flight into a lifelong passion, and you can join me in experiencing soaring views around Zermatt, Switzerland; over five years I accumulated 2,430 flights and 1,400 hours, competed internationally and flew across countries like Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Turkey, India, Austria, Nepal, Thailand, France, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Slovenia, Norway, Spain, and Denmark; born in July 1984 in Zermatt to a family with deep local roots, I know the culture and nature here intimately and love sharing that connection with passengers, whether you’re seeking an adrenaline-packed adventure, a scenic outdoor nature experience, a family-friendly flight, or a romantic moment in the Alps; I’ve traveled to 58 countries, speak German, French, English and Spanish fluently, and enjoy welcoming guests to book a memorable paragliding experience through Varoom that pairs your stay with the right activity in Zermatt.

Summary: We paraglided with Zermatt Paragliding and couldn’t recommend them enough. We scheduled it for the first day of our trip but due to wind conditions we couldn’t paraglide that day. Thankfully Michael helped us reschedule to later in the week to ensure we were still able to go. He kept us updated about the weather conditions for our rescheduled date. The experience was unique and thrilling. We felt safe and trusting of the Zermatt Paragliding team. The views were spectacular.
