DAVOS: Paragliding For 2 Passengers – Together In The Air! (Video&Photos Incl.)

Two people can take to the air together above Davos, each in a separate tandem paraglider with a pilot nearby. The nicest touch is that photos and video are included, so you can enjoy the flight instead of worrying about recording it. Pilots including Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan are praised for calm guidance and clear instructions.

I like the side-by-side format for couples and friends, and I like the careful briefing before takeoff. The main catch is cost: at $503.51 per person, this is a major splurge, and you must also pay for the cable car. Weather can change the plan, so keep some flexibility in your schedule.

Key points to know before you book

• Two passengers fly together: You and your companion take separate tandem flights and can share the Alpine setting in the air.
• Experienced pilots: Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan are named as pilots who provide calm, clear support.
• Photos and video are included: Your package can include images and an edited video of the takeoff, flight, and landing.
• About two hours at Air-Davos: The time covers the flying experience and the preparation around it.
• Cable car costs extra: You need to arrange and pay for this part separately.
• Weather controls the schedule: Poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.

Flying above Davos with a friend beside you

Paragliding is often sold as a solo thrill shared only afterward through stories and phone clips. This Davos experience takes a better approach for pairs. Two passengers fly at the same time, each with a trained pilot, giving you someone familiar to look toward and talk with while the valley opens below.

That makes this a strong choice for a birthday gift, a couple’s activity, or a special day with a close friend. You are not simply taking turns and waiting on the ground. Both of you get the same broad alpine setting, and the included photographs can preserve the shared moment.

The flight is tandem paragliding, so you do not operate the glider yourself. Your pilot handles the equipment and the flight while you follow the instructions for takeoff and landing. The experience is designed to let you focus on the view and the sensation of floating.

The stated duration is about two hours. That does not mean two full hours in the air. It includes meeting, preparation, the briefing, the cable car connection, the flight, and the return to the meeting point. The exact flying time can depend on conditions and the day’s operation, so I would plan it as a half-day-style activity rather than squeeze it between tight reservations.

Air-Davos at Brämabüelstrasse 11

Your start and finish point is Air-Davos Paragliding at Brämabüelstrasse 11 in Davos. The activity ends back at this meeting point, which gives you a clear place to return to after the flight.

Transportation to and from attractions is not included. The cable car ticket is also separate. That matters because the listed price does not cover every cost tied to getting airborne. Before booking, I would check your route to the meeting point and set aside money for the cable car.

The activity is private for your group. You will not be mixed into a large sightseeing party, which is especially useful for two people booking together. It also means you can keep the day focused on your own flight rather than waiting through a long rotation of unrelated participants.

At the start, expect a briefing about takeoff and landing. This is not filler. If you feel nervous, the briefing gives you a clear idea of what your body needs to do and when. Several pilots are praised for simple instructions, professional behavior, and a calm manner, qualities that matter far more than flashy talk when you are standing at the launch point.

The takeoff briefing and preparation

A tandem flight begins with trust. You are connected to the pilot and the glider, so your job is to listen and follow directions. The supplied details specifically call out an in-depth briefing about takeoff and landing, which is reassuring for a first flight.

The preparation is also where you can tell your pilot if you are anxious. One person described being quite frightened at first but enjoying the experience after Martin and Damir provided steady support. That is useful context: nervousness is not unusual, and the pilots are used to helping first-time passengers settle down.

The equipment is provided. You do not need to bring paragliding gear, and the pilots are included in the price. You should still arrive ready for an outdoor mountain activity, with sensible clothing and footwear suited to the conditions. The supplied information does not specify a clothing list, so check current instructions with Air-Davos before you go.

The listed passenger weight range is 20 to 125 kilograms. This is a firm practical detail to confirm when booking, especially if two people have different builds. The activity is not recommended for children aged eight and under. One account describes an eight-year-old flying with Martin, but the stated age guidance should take priority, and you should confirm the current rule directly before booking for a child.

A moderate level of physical fitness is expected. You do not need to be an athlete, but you should be able to manage the activity’s walking and takeoff and landing instructions. If that raises concerns, ask Air-Davos what the current conditions require.

Two gliders, one alpine view

The special feature here is the possibility of flying with your companion at the same time. You will not be attached to the same canopy, but you can share the experience in the air, with your own pilot guiding your flight.

The views are the main reason to choose this over a standard mountain ride. From above Davos, you can look across peaks and valleys rather than simply viewing them from a cable car window or a trail. The flight is described as both peaceful and thrilling, which is a fair way to think about tandem paragliding: the height gives you a rush, while the glide itself can feel quiet and smooth.

You can chat with your pilot as you fly. That is a useful feature for anyone who wants to ask questions or keep their mind occupied. Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan are all named in connection with flights, and the strongest praise centers on their professionalism, friendliness, and ability to make people feel safe.

Do not expect a loud amusement-park ride. The experience is about floating over Davos and taking in the mountain views, with the option of a little excitement depending on the flight. Your pilot controls the pace and direction, and the weather has a major say in the final experience.

Photos and video that are part of the price

For me, the included media changes the value calculation. Many aerial activities make you pay extra for photographs or footage, while this experience includes photos and video in the package.

The media can show both of you in the air, along with takeoffs, landings, and some moments before the flight. One couple received pictures and a professionally edited video the same evening. Another person received dozens of photos and a finished video at no extra charge.

That is more useful than a few generic scenic shots. You get a record of the actual experience, including the part your friends and family will want to see: you leaving the ground, flying above Davos, and returning safely. It also means you can keep your phone put away during the flight.

I would still confirm the exact media delivery details before you go. The supplied information says photos and video are included, and the accounts describe prompt delivery, but file format and delivery method are not specified. If the images matter to you, ask how they will be sent and when you should expect them.

What the $503.51 price really buys

At $503.51 per person, this costs about $1,007 for two people before the cable car and any transport costs. That is expensive for a two-hour activity, especially if you are comparing it with a normal mountain excursion.

The value comes from several pieces bundled together. You get a tandem flight, a pilot, the required paragliding equipment, a private booking for your group, and photos and video. Most important, two people can fly together rather than booking separate activities on different days.

The media is a real part of the calculation. If you would otherwise pay extra for photographs and video, the package may compare better with other tandem flights. The calm, professional handling from pilots such as Martin and Fabio also matters, particularly if this is your first time and you are paying for confidence as much as scenery.

Still, you should book this because you want paragliding, not because it is the cheapest way to see Davos. A cable car ride, viewpoint, or mountain walk will cost less and may suit you better if you dislike heights. The price makes the most sense for a special occasion, a pair who wants a shared thrill, or someone who has wanted to try tandem paragliding for years.

Weather, timing, and the need for a backup plan

Good weather is required. If poor conditions force a cancellation, you can choose a different date or receive a full refund. That protection is helpful, but it does not remove the disruption from your holiday plans.

I would avoid placing this activity on the day you leave Davos or directly before a fixed evening reservation. Mountain weather can change, and the experience itself takes about two hours even before you allow time for reaching the meeting point and handling the cable car.

The cancellation rule is simple but strict. You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the local start time. Inside that 24-hour window, the amount paid is not refunded, and changes are not accepted. If you are planning a surprise birthday flight, make sure the date is firm before that deadline.

The mobile ticket is convenient, and confirmation is issued at booking. Keep the meeting details easy to find, since the starting address is specific and transportation is not included.

Who will enjoy this Davos flight most

I would recommend this to couples, close friends, and family members who want to experience the Alps together rather than merely photograph the same viewpoint. The two-passenger format is the main reason to choose it.

It also suits a first-time flyer. The pilots are described as clear and reassuring, and one first-time passenger found the flight peaceful, exciting, and safe after receiving straightforward directions. If you are nervous, tell the pilot early. The experience is better when the person guiding you understands how you feel.

This is less suitable if you need a low-cost activity, dislike heights, have a very tight schedule, or cannot meet the 20 to 125 kilogram weight range. It is also not recommended for children aged eight and under, so families should confirm the age rule before making plans.

The private format may appeal to you if you prefer a personal experience. It does not promise a completely private mountain launch area, since no such detail is given, but only your group participates in the booked activity.

Should you book Air-Davos Paragliding?

Book it if you want a memorable shared flight and can accept the high price, extra cable car ticket, and weather risk. The strongest reasons are the side-by-side flights, the patient guidance from pilots such as Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan, and the fact that photos and video are included.

Skip it if you are only looking for a quick scenic ride or the cost would make the rest of your Davos trip uncomfortable. For a once-in-a-lifetime gift, though, this has the right mix of personal attention, mountain views, and a lasting record of the day.
