KLOSTERS: Paragliding For 2 – Couples (Video &Photos Incl.)

Klosters paragliding gives you and your partner a rare chance to leave the ground together, with two pilots guiding separate tandem gliders above the Swiss Alps. You begin near the Jakobshornbahn area, ride up to the launch zone, and take in wide views over Davos and the Prättigau valley.

I like the private format, since only your group takes part, and I like that photos and videos are included rather than sold as an afterthought. The pilots also explain the start and landing procedures, with some passengers practicing the launch twice before flying. The main catch is cost: at $397.56 per person, you still need to pay about $35 per person for the cable car.

Key points to know before booking

• Fly side by side with your partner: Two passengers go up at the same time with two pilots.
• Start near the Jakobshornbahn: The meeting point is at Gotschnastrasse 19 in Klosters Platz.
• Photos and videos are included: You can bring home a record of the flight without arranging a separate package.
• Expect a short safety briefing: Your pilot explains takeoff and landing, and launch practice may be part of the preparation.
• Good for first-time flyers: No previous paragliding experience is required, though you need moderate physical fitness.
• Weather controls the schedule: Poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.

Taking off above Klosters and Davos

The appeal here is simple: you do not watch your partner fly while waiting on the ground. You both head into the air at roughly the same time, each with a pilot, so the experience becomes a shared part of your trip rather than two separate turns.

The meeting point is at Gotschnastrasse 19 in Klosters Platz, near the Jakobshornbahn area. The flight operation itself takes about two hours from meeting through the flying experience, though the exact time in the air can depend on conditions. That makes this easier to fit into a day in Davos or Klosters than a full-day mountain outing.

You should expect an alpine launch site rather than a flat runway. The preparation includes a briefing on how to start and land safely. One account describes practicing the takeoff twice on the slope before the actual flight, which is useful if you have never tried this before. You are not simply strapped in and sent off. The launch process is explained and rehearsed.

Once airborne, your pilot stays with you throughout. The flight offers views over Davos and the Swiss village of Klosters in the Prättigau region. The setting gives you a changing view of mountain slopes, valley settlements, and the broad area around Davos. The exact view will depend on weather and the flight path, so do not expect the same scene every time.

What the two-hour experience feels like

This is tandem paragliding, not a solo lesson. You sit with a trained pilot, while the pilot manages the equipment and flight. That makes the activity accessible to beginners, but you can still take a more active role if conditions and the pilot allow it.

You may get the chance to steer the glider. That small responsibility can make the flight feel more personal. You are not only looking at the scenery from a seat. You may also experience thrilling maneuvers, depending on the flight and the pilot’s judgment.

The pace can shift from calm sightseeing to a stronger sense of motion. If you want a gentle flight, discuss that with your pilot. If you hope for more exciting maneuvers, ask what is possible on the day. The supplied information confirms that maneuvers may be included, but it does not promise a fixed routine or a particular level of intensity.

For couples, the shared timing is the strongest feature. You can see your partner in the air, compare views afterward, and enjoy the flight as one event. It also suits a birthday, anniversary, or other special occasion, especially because the included photos and videos give you something tangible to keep.

Launch preparation and landing advice

The launch is usually the part that worries first-time flyers. Here, the briefing covers both launching and landing, and the preparation can include repeated practice on the slope. Pay close attention to the pilot’s instructions and wear clothing that lets you move comfortably.

The experience requires a moderate level of physical fitness. That matters because you need to take part in the launch process rather than simply sit down and wait. The product information does not give a detailed medical checklist, so anyone with concerns should ask the operator before booking.

The landing procedure is also explained before you go up. Your pilot accompanies you throughout the flight, so you are not expected to manage the glider alone. Still, tandem paragliding is an active outdoor experience, not a passive cable-car ride. If you want something with no physical effort or no sensation of height, this is probably the wrong pick.

A helmet and gloves were available during at least one flight, according to the supplied account. The listing confirms that paragliding equipment is included, but it does not provide a full clothing list. Ask Air-Davos Paragliding if you need exact advice for the day’s weather.

The mountain ride to the launch site

The cable car ticket is not included. Budget about $35 per person for that ride, in addition to the advertised price of $397.56 per person. This is an important extra because the cable car is part of getting to the launch point.

One useful timing detail is that the meeting point is near the Jakobshornbahn. A passenger arrived at about 1:50 p.m. and still had enough time to buy a ticket before heading up. I would not cut it that close, but the location is practical. Arrive early enough to find the meeting point, settle payment for the lift, and listen to any instructions without rushing.

The launch point is directly below the summit area, so the walk from the upper station to the takeoff site may be short. That reduces one common annoyance of mountain activities: spending a long time carrying gear over rough ground before the main event. The exact walking distance can vary, and the supplied information does not promise a completely flat or step-free route.

You arrange your own transportation to and from the attractions. The activity ends back at the meeting point, so plan how you will continue your day in Klosters or Davos afterward. The tour does not include a general transfer service.

Views over the Prättigau valley

The flight’s visual reward is the broad view rather than a single landmark. From above, you can look out over Davos and the Prättigau area, including Klosters and the surrounding Alpine peaks. The valley setting gives the flight a strong sense of place, connecting the resort villages below with the mountain slopes around them.

I like this kind of experience because it changes how you understand a destination. On the ground, Klosters is a Swiss mountain village. From the air, the village becomes part of a larger valley system, with roads, slopes, and settlements arranged below you. The supplied feedback describes the view over Davos as wonderful and the flight as breathtaking, but weather will always affect visibility.

The included photos and videos are valuable here. A tandem flight can pass quickly, and it is difficult to capture a good image while handling the excitement of takeoff and the movement of the glider. Having the operator provide visual memories means you can focus on the flight itself.

The information does not say how many photos or videos you receive, how they are delivered, or what camera system is used. If those details matter to you, ask before booking. The important point is that the package includes both, which improves the value compared with an activity where media costs extra.

Safety, pilots, and the private format

A pilot accompanies each passenger. Since two pilots fly with the couple, each person has direct guidance rather than sharing one pilot between two passengers. The briefing covers safety, launch, and landing, and the equipment is provided.

This private setup is especially useful for couples who want to keep the experience personal. You are not joining a large mixed group on the flight itself. The activity is listed as private, with only your group participating.

The provider is Air-Davos Paragliding. Specific pilot names are not provided, so I would not choose this experience based on a promised individual guide. Instead, focus on the structure: two pilots, tandem flights, a safety briefing, and equipment included.

The safety information is reassuring but not a guarantee against every risk. Paragliding remains an aerial sport, and the weather requirement makes that clear. If the conditions are poor, the operator offers another date or a full refund. That policy protects you from being pushed into a flight on an unsuitable day, but it can disrupt a tightly packed holiday schedule.

Is $397.56 per person good value?

At $397.56 per person, this is a major splurge. Add about $35 per person for the cable car and the total rises further. Transportation to and from the attractions is also your responsibility.

The price makes more sense if you value the private arrangement, the simultaneous flight for two, the pilot support, and the included photos and videos. You are paying for a special event in the Swiss Alps, not simply a ride with a view. For an anniversary or once-in-a-lifetime holiday, those extras may justify the cost.

The value is weaker if you are mainly looking for a cheap mountain panorama. A cable car ride or high trail can provide excellent views for much less money, though neither gives you the sensation of flying or the same private occasion.

Because the flight takes about two hours, you are also buying a focused activity rather than losing a full day. That can help if you want to combine it with time in Davos or Klosters. Just keep enough flexibility in your schedule for weather changes.

Who should book this flight?

I would recommend it most strongly to couples who want a shared thrill and are comfortable with heights. It also suits first-time paragliders who want a pilot beside them, clear instructions, and a controlled introduction to the sport.

The experience is not recommended for children aged eight and under. Passenger weight must be between 20 and 125 kilograms. The listing also calls for moderate physical fitness, so check your ability to manage a launch and landing before booking.

This is a poor match if you need guaranteed flight times, dislike outdoor uncertainty, or want every expense included in the headline price. It is also less suitable for anyone who wants a quiet sightseeing outing without any possibility of sharper maneuvers.

The best practical move is to book early in your itinerary rather than on your final day in Switzerland. If poor weather interrupts the flight, you will have a better chance of using the alternate date offered by the operator.

Booking, cancellation, and weather details

You receive confirmation when you book, and the ticket is mobile, so you can keep the reservation on your phone. The meeting point is Gotschnastrasse 19, 7250 Klosters Platz, Switzerland, and the activity ends there.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the local start time for a full refund. Changes or cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start are not accepted for a refund. The same 24-hour cut-off applies to changes.

Weather is the key exception. If poor conditions cause the operator to cancel, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. Since this is an outdoor flight, leave room in your plans and avoid scheduling a train or airport connection immediately afterward.

Should you book Air-Davos Paragliding for two?

Book it if you want one of the most memorable ways to see Davos and Klosters, especially for a celebration. The side-by-side tandem flights, pilot guidance, and included photos and videos make this more than a standard sightseeing activity.

Skip it if the total cost feels too high once you add the cable car, or if you prefer firm schedules and low-adrenaline outings. For the right couple, though, the chance to launch together above the Prättigau valley is a strong reason to make room in your Swiss Alps plans.
