ELITE FLIGHT

Fly from the highest take-off in Europe

This is one of the most extraordinary tandem flights you can experience in the Alps.

Our adventure starts at Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, at approximately 3,850 metres above sea level.
Surrounded by glaciers and some of the highest mountains in the Alps, we prepare for take-off in a truly
spectacular high-alpine environment.

Once airborne, the scale of the landscape is incredible: glaciers beneath us, the Matterhorn beside us
and Zermatt around 2,300 vertical metres below. The flight gives us time to enjoy the changing
landscape as we travel from the high-alpine glacier world back towards the valley.

IMPORTANT BOOKING INFORMATION

The Elite Flight is highly dependent on suitable wind and weather conditions at Matterhorn
Glacier Paradise. If, on the day of your booking, the wind is too strong, the wind direction is
unsuitable, or other conditions do not allow us to safely use the Elite take-off, your booking will
automatically be changed to a Classic Flight instead.

By booking the Elite Flight, you agree to this alternative and confirm that you are happy to fly the
Classic Flight if the Elite take-off is not possible. This allows us to keep your reserved flying slot
and still provide you with a fantastic paragliding experience in Zermatt. Safety and the final
choice of take-off always remain the pilot's decision.
