Matterhorn Views: The 8 Best Tours from Zermatt

1.Matterhorn Paragliding flight in Zermatt (20-25min)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 207 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $399Our pick

Tandem paragliding over Zermatt for 20-25 minutes. Matterhorn views, wildlife spotting, and expert pilots. Weather-dependent, lift not included.

“Our guides were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and overall this was such a great experience. If you care a lot about photos or video footage, I would recommend asking a few questions before getting started. My partner was able to hold and control the camera and ended up with great footage, knowing exactly when it was on and how to use it. For me, it was a bit unclear when the camera was active or when I should look at it or smile while the guide was holding it, so some of my footage turned out a little wonky and not quite as clear. That said, the guides were excellent…”

2.Day Tour to Zermatt Matterhorn and Glacier Paradise from Geneva

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 35 reviews · 13 hours (approx.) · from $231

Day trip from Geneva to Zermatt with Matterhorn views, electric shuttles, and optional Glacier Paradise cable car at 3,883 meters.

“Disappointment with utter apathy of Keytours The tour van met with a horrible horrible accident 1.5 hours into the trip. Its both rear wheels detached, ran meters away from the van, which dangerously tilted on one side. This was on a busy motorway and could have been a fatal accident. We wasted 2.5 hours waiting for the replacement van shortening our rather expensive trip. Let alone any refunds or compensation, no company representative even met us on return to apologize. We almost lost our lives and in any case lost precious time from an expensive trip. We demand a written apology from Keytours and an appropriate compensation amounting to $400…”

We met at the Zermatt station and we took the gondola to Furi to Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, which included an amazing (very cold!) view of the Matterhorn and the ice palace. Then we traveled to Schwarsee Lake and the chapel then took the gondola back to Furi to Riffelberg.
