Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch phase and the first seconds of freefall glide above the Matterhorn massif are the sharpest adrenaline spikes. After that, the flight stabilizes into a sustained altitude panorama.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
A strong sense of exposure is part of the experience. The altitude over Zermatt's glaciated terrain is significant. If you're genuinely acrophobic, that sensation won't disappear, but most first-timers report the harness and pilot presence override the fear quickly.
How long are you actually airborne?
The session lasts 1h to 2h total, which includes briefing and equipment fitting. Actual flight time depends on thermals and wind conditions on the day.
Is there a weight or fitness requirement?
The tour is listed as 'Everybody welcome,' meaning no specific fitness level is required. Contact Flybypara directly to confirm any weight restrictions before booking.

Practical info

Season

May – September

Equipment

Wear layered, close-fitting clothing and sturdy closed-toe shoes since temperatures drop sharply at altitude even in summer. The session is open to all fitness levels, but bring sunglasses and sunscreen since UV exposure above Zermatt's snowfields is intense.

Getting there
