I was on a solo trip when I tried my hand at paragliding in Zermatt. It was a tandem flight, so I had my instructor along and the whole experience turned out to be quite safe. The flight route took us by the Matterhorn peak, and the views were simply excellent. Thanks to Thrillophilia for such amaing deals on the tickets and for encouraging to do this!
