I’m not a thrill-seeker. In fact, one of the reasons I don’t ski anymore is because I think it’s frightening (and I’m horrible at it haha). So, my friends and family were shocked when I told them that I had booked a trip to paraglide. Though I thought it sounded a little scary, I also thought it sounded exhilarating and was excited for the opportunity to see the Alps and the town from a unique angle as a non-skier. Before the trip, the company sends a message to wear mountain/snow boots, warm clothing, and sunglasses. My beanie was a little too bulky and gloves too thin, so they kindly let me borrow a thin liner beanie to wear under the helmet and some ski mittens. These are items I would bring myself in the future, though theirs were perfectly fine, too. They also provide a thin gator as a souvenir to wear around your neck and to pull up over your face in case your face is chilly during the flight. Meeting and prepping for the flight was a piece of cake - Joel, my pilot, was reassuring and reviewed every step as we ascended to our take-off spot. Do wait to purchase any lift/funicular passes until they meet you there to ensure you are buying the proper ticket(s). The view from the take-off area was spectacular! And I think this was a nice distraction from the nerves of take-off. But, honestly, the launch was so easy, smooth, and quick, there was no need to be scared. No free-falling - just a gentle lift off the curve of a steep hill. Once you’re up in the air, the view and feeling of gliding above the valley, town, and skiers was breathtaking. Joel pointed out several natural features, and we even saw some mountain goats! Even though he had to have taken hundreds of flights, Joel seemed excited and joyful with me. He gave clear instructions and was calm through the entire experience. Overall, I found paragliding to be invigorating, and I would 10/10 do it again with Matterhorn Paragliding. Oh, and go ahead and save yourself the time to book the photo/video package beforehand - you will definitely want it!

I had an amazing time with Matterhorn Paragliding! My pilot, Joel, was incredibly kind and professional, and his attention to detail during the pre-flight checks really stood out. This focus on safety made me feel totally secure, even though I'm not particularly sporty. Thanks to Joel’s thoroughness and reassuring presence, I could truly enjoy the adventure without any stress. Plus, the photos are absolutely incredible – a perfect way to remember the best thing I did in 2024! If you're worried about safety, have no fear – Joel's got you covered. Just go for it!
