04. Cross Country Paragliding | Zermatt | 35–60 Minutes

2 hours and 30 minutes

Easy

Fly beyond the Matterhorn on an authentic cross-country paragliding adventure, using mountain thermals to explore the spectacular Swiss Alps with a certified FLYBYPARA pilot.

Discover the true art of paragliding with our Cross Country Flight in Zermatt. This is much more than a scenic tandem flight—it is a real adventure where your pilot uses natural mountain thermals to travel across the breathtaking landscapes of the Swiss Alps.

Instead of simply circling above the launch site, you will experience the sensation of covering long distances, gaining altitude in rising air, and exploring different valleys and mountain ridges around the Matterhorn. Every flight is unique and depends on weather, thermal conditions, and the day’s flying opportunities.

Designed for adventure seekers and aviation enthusiasts, this experience offers an authentic taste of what cross-country paragliding is all about.
