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

Klosters paragliding gives you the Swiss Alps from a very different angle: not from a trail, train window, or mountain terrace, but from a tandem glider with your feet hanging free. You and your companion fly at the same time with two pilots, making this a particularly good choice for a birthday, anniversary, or simply a day when you want more than another scenic ride.

I like the private format, since only your group takes part, and I like the care built into the start: helmet, gloves, a safety briefing, and two practice runs on the slope before takeoff. The main thing to plan for is cost. At $397.56 per person, you also pay about $35 per person for the cable car, and the flight depends on good weather.

Key points to know before you book

• Two passengers fly together: You and your companion take off with two separate pilots, so you can share the experience in the air.
• Practice comes before takeoff: You rehearse the launch on the slope, helping you understand exactly when to run and when to sit back.
• The cable car costs extra: Budget about $35 per person for the ride to the upper launch area.
• Photos and video are included: You receive memories of the flight instead of relying only on what you can see during the ride.
• The views reach beyond Klosters: Expect broad views toward Davos, the Prättigau, and a Swiss mountain village below.
• Weather controls the schedule: Poor conditions can cancel the flight, with a new date or full refund offered.

Starting near Klosters and heading for the launch

The activity begins at Gotschnastrasse 19, 7250 Klosters Platz, Switzerland, and finishes back at the meeting point. The supplied directions also describe meeting near the Jakobshornbahn, with a 1:50 p.m. pickup and time to buy the cable car ticket before heading upward. Because those location details are not perfectly identical, I would confirm the exact meeting point and time with Air-Davos Paragliding before you set out.

That small bit of planning matters. You do not want to be standing at the wrong lift station with a phone in one hand and a cable car ticket in the other. Allow time to reach the meeting point, meet both pilots, and buy the required lift ticket if it is not already arranged.

The ride uphill is part of the practical cost of the experience. The cable car ticket is not included and costs about $35 per person. The stated activity lasts roughly two hours, so the lift ride, briefing, preparation, flight, and return to the meeting point fit into a compact half-day plan.

The takeoff point is described as being just below the summit, which keeps the walk to the launch area short. That is helpful if you are carrying day bags or if you prefer to save your energy for the run that starts the flight.

What happens before you leave the ground

Paragliding may look calm from below, but the start requires a little cooperation. Your pilot explains the safety steps and shows you how the launch and landing work. You then practice starting on the slope, with two rehearsal runs described before the actual flight.

That practice is one of the strongest parts of the setup. You are not expected to understand a moving wing, harness, and takeoff command by instinct. The short rehearsals give you a feel for the timing and help your pilot see that you understand the instructions.

You will use the supplied paragliding equipment, including a helmet and gloves. A pilot stays with you throughout the flight. You do not need previous paragliding experience, and the activity is also open to people who already know the sport.

The launch itself is active rather than passive. You should be prepared to follow instructions and move with purpose on the slope. The moderate fitness requirement reflects that short burst of effort, not a long mountain hike.

Two pilots make this a good couples activity

The special feature here is simple: two people go up together. You do not have one person flying while the other waits on the ground, takes pictures, or watches from a terrace. Each passenger has a pilot, and both flights happen at the same time.

That shared timing makes this a natural choice for couples. You can look across at each other in the air, compare the views, and finish the experience together. It also works for two friends or family members who want the same adventure without joining a large group.

The activity is private, but that does not mean you control every part of the schedule. The pilots and weather determine when the flight can safely happen. Still, having only your own group involved gives the outing a more personal feel than a crowded commercial excursion.

No pilot names are provided in the available details, so I would not promise a particular guide. You can expect two friendly pilots to collect you at the agreed meeting point, provide the equipment, and handle the technical side of the flight.

Flying above Davos and the Prättigau

Once airborne, the main reward is the view. From above, you see Davos spread through the mountain setting, along with the Prättigau and a Swiss village below. The exact view changes with the flight path and weather, but the experience gives you a broad outlook that is impossible to get from a normal street or lift station.

The launch area itself sits in an Alpine setting, and the takeoff point just below the summit means you start high above the valley. You may spend part of the flight simply looking outward, watching the terrain change from steep slopes to villages and valley roads.

The description also includes the chance to steer the glider. This will depend on the pilot and current conditions, but it adds a useful sense of participation. You are not merely sitting in a harness while someone else does everything. Under instruction, you may get a brief taste of guiding the wing.

Thrilling maneuvers are also available. These are worth treating as an option, not a promise that every flight will include dramatic turns. If you want a calm scenic ride, tell your pilot. If you want more excitement and conditions allow it, ask what maneuvers are suitable.

Photos and video make the price easier to judge

At $397.56 per person, this is an expensive two-hour activity. Add the approximately $35 cable car ticket per person, and the total becomes a serious part of your Swiss holiday budget.

The included photos and video help explain the price. You are paying for a private tandem flight, two pilots, specialist equipment, mountain access, and recorded memories. You also avoid the common problem of trying to hold a phone while wearing a helmet and preparing for takeoff.

The available feedback puts particular emphasis on receiving plenty of photos and video. That matters because the most memorable moments happen quickly: the run, the lift from the slope, the first clear view of the valley, and any steering or maneuvers. A camera package lets you keep those moments rather than depend on a single picture taken from the ground.

Still, you should book this for the experience first and the media second. The flight itself is the value. If your main goal is inexpensive scenery, a lift ride or mountain viewpoint will cost less. If you want a personal Alpine adventure with a permanent record of it, the package becomes easier to justify.

The launch and landing require a little effort

The preflight practice is useful, but it also tells you what the activity expects from you. You need enough mobility and fitness to take part in the launch routine and follow instructions. The operator gives a passenger weight range of 20 to 125 kilograms.

Children aged eight and under are not recommended for this experience. The supplied information does not give a wider age policy, so families with older children should confirm suitability directly before booking.

The pilot handles the glider and explains the landing procedure. You should still listen closely and do exactly what you are told. The activity is designed for beginners, but beginner-friendly does not mean instruction-free.

Comfort can also vary from person to person. Some people love the open-air feeling and the sense of motion. Others may find the height or maneuvers intense. If you are nervous, say so during the briefing. The pilot can explain what to expect and discuss how much extra movement is appropriate.

Weather can change the day

Paragliding depends on suitable conditions. If poor weather makes the flight unsafe, the activity can be canceled. You then receive the choice of another date or a full refund.

That policy is fair, but weather can still disrupt a carefully planned holiday. Do not put this experience on the final morning before a flight or train connection. A flexible day gives you a better chance of moving the booking if conditions change.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the experience start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance are not refunded, and changes inside that period are not accepted. The cutoff follows local time in Switzerland.

The best approach is to keep an eye on the forecast without assuming that a cloudy view automatically means cancellation. The pilots make the safety decision. Contact Air-Davos Paragliding if conditions look uncertain rather than guessing from the valley.

Who will enjoy this Klosters flight most?

I would recommend it most strongly to:

• Couples who want to share the same high-adventure moment
• First-time paragliders who appreciate a clear briefing and practice starts
• Experienced paragliders who want a tandem flight over Davos and Klosters
• Visitors celebrating a special occasion
• People who value photos and video as part of an activity
• Active adults who can manage a short, physical launch routine

It is less suitable if you need a low-cost outing, dislike heights, cannot meet the weight range, or need a fixed schedule that weather cannot disturb. It may also be a poor fit if you want to spend the entire time taking pictures from stable ground.

This is not a sightseeing bus with a guaranteed route and exact timetable. It is an outdoor flight, and the elements have the final say. That uncertainty is part of the appeal, but you should accept it before paying.

Practical planning for the two-hour outing

Wear clothing that lets you move easily and prepare for changing Alpine conditions. The supplied details confirm helmets and gloves are available, but do not list other clothing or equipment, so bring what you normally need for a mountain outing.

Keep your schedule open around the stated two-hour duration. The time includes preparation and the return to the meeting point, but exact timing can shift with the lift, weather, and launch conditions.

You arrange your own transportation to and from the meeting point. The activity does not include transportation to attractions, so plan the route to Klosters Platz in advance. The return is at the original meeting point, which makes it easier to continue your day from there.

A mobile ticket is provided, and confirmation arrives at booking. Keep the booking information easy to access, especially if you are arranging the cable car ticket shortly before meeting the pilots.

Is Air-Davos Paragliding worth booking?

Book this if you want a real Alpine adventure for two, not just another mountain view. The simultaneous flights, private format, careful practice starts, and included photos and video give the experience a clear purpose.

The price is high, and the cable car adds to it. I would reserve it for a special trip, celebration, or once-in-a-lifetime splurge rather than an everyday excursion. If you can handle the cost, meet the fitness and weight requirements, and keep your schedule flexible for weather, this is a memorable way to see Davos and the Prättigau from the air.
