First time paragliding - The views paragliding from Coronet were incredible. This was our first time paragliding and well definitely go again. The Skytrek pilots made sure we maximized our time in the air. Awesome experience.

An experience of a lifetime! - What an amazing experience! My pilot, Cagri, was fantastic--so much fun and kind, and he knew what he was doing, which meant that I could relax and enjoy myself and really take in both the peace and the excitement (the good kind!) of the whole experience--wow! Cagri also took great pictures and video, letting me relive this memory of a lifetime--truly, I can't believe I did this, jumped off that mountain into the sky! But I did! Unforgettable! The rest of the staff I dealt with was great, too, and the booking and process was easy. I highly recommend this! Thank you, SkyTrek!

Wow!! What an experience!! - Wow! Felt very nervous as at 55 it was my first scary experience. But my instructor Tugi was fabulous. Completely reassured me and I shouldn't have worried.! It was one of the best things I have ever done. Feeling very proud.

Lot of fun for 78 year old - It was fun. Originally we thought it was paragliding next to Gandola in town but it is much better from higher mountain. They made me comfortable and flight was great.

Thrilling Paragliding Experience! - This was one of the high points of my trip - panoramic views and exhilarating flights, even having a few air tricks along the way! 10/10 would recommend!

Less photos, more living in the moment - I felt very comfortable and safe. As others have mentioned, there was a much bigger focus on photos rather than the experience itself, which is a shame because it’s such a short ride, you really want to be present in the experience. The driver also wasn’t very warm or organized after the event in gathering everyone back to the van. I really loved the views though, spectacular!
