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

The special point here is simple: two people fly together, side by side above Davos and its surrounding mountain valleys. You get the thrill of paragliding without being separated from your partner or friend, and you can talk with your pilot while the Alps pass below.

I like the clear pre-flight briefing and the calm, professional approach from pilots including Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan. I also like that photos and a finished video are included, rather than being treated as an expensive extra after you land.

The main drawback is the price, $503.51 per person, before the cable car ticket. You also need suitable weather, a moderate fitness level, and a body weight between 20 and 125 kilograms.

Key points before you book

• Two flights happen together: This is designed for a pair, with both passengers in the air at the same time.
• Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan are named pilots: The team is praised for calm instructions, strong safety awareness, and friendly communication.
• Photos and video come with the flight: You receive images and an edited video of the takeoff, flight, and landing.
• The briefing matters: Your pilot explains takeoff and landing before you head into the air.
• The total activity takes about two hours: That includes preparation and the flight experience, not just time under the canopy.
• Weather can change the plan: Poor conditions may lead to a new date or a full refund, while late cancellations by you are not refundable.

Flying together above Davos

A tandem paraglide flight is already a social kind of adventure. You sit in front of an experienced pilot, follow simple instructions, and watch the world open up below. This Davos version adds a useful twist: two passengers fly together, so you and your companion can share the same moment instead of taking turns on the ground.

That makes this a strong choice for a birthday gift, anniversary, or one-time Alpine thrill. One pair used it as a birthday surprise, while another family booked flights for a daughter and husband. The shared format also helps if one person feels nervous. You can prepare together, take off around the same time, and compare the experience afterward while it is still fresh.

You should not expect a private aircraft or a long technical lesson. The pilots handle the equipment and the flight. Your job is to listen, follow the takeoff and landing directions, and enjoy the views.

Meeting Air-Davos at Brämabüelstrasse 11

The meeting point is Brämabüelstrasse 11, 7270 Davos, Switzerland, at Air-Davos Paragliding. The activity finishes back at this same meeting point, which keeps the start and end simple.

Transportation to the meeting point is not included. The cable car ticket is also separate, so you need to allow extra money beyond the advertised per-person price. The details provided do not specify the exact cable car fare or the transport arrangement from your lodging, so check those points before booking.

The activity lasts about two hours. That does not necessarily mean two full hours in the air. Time is used for meeting the pilot, preparing equipment, receiving the safety briefing, reaching the takeoff area, flying, and returning to the meeting point.

I would avoid placing this right before an important train connection or dinner reservation. Mountain activities run on weather and flying conditions, and a little spare time makes the day less tense.

The briefing before takeoff

Your pilot begins with an in-depth explanation of takeoff and landing. This is where you learn what to do with your feet and body, how to respond to instructions, and what to expect as the canopy fills with air.

For a first flight, this briefing is more valuable than a long list of technical facts. Good instructions help you know what is normal and what is expected. The pilots named in the information, including Martin and Fabio, are repeatedly described as calm and clear. That matters if you are excited but unsure, or if you are genuinely afraid.

One person arrived quite terrified and ended up enjoying the flight. That is a useful sign, but it does not mean the activity is suitable for everyone. You should be comfortable with an adventure activity and able to follow directions. The stated requirement is a moderate level of physical fitness.

This is a private activity for your group only. You are not mixed into a large party with strangers, which makes the briefing and coordination more personal. For two people booking together, that private setup fits the purpose well.

Getting airborne with a partner

Takeoff is the moment when the experience changes from preparation to flight. You follow the pilot’s instructions, and the paraglider carries you away from the slope. Your pilot controls the equipment while you focus on the directions and the view.

The two-passenger setup is the main reason to choose this experience instead of a standard tandem flight booked separately. You and your companion can see each other in the air, share the excitement, and appear together in the images. It turns a personal thrill into a shared memory.

The pilots do not simply leave you to sit quietly. You can chat with your pilot during the flight, ask questions, and learn more about what you are seeing. Some people will want a peaceful ride, while others will enjoy hearing about the flight and the Davos area.

The exact flight path, time in the air, and altitude are not stated. I would not book this expecting a fixed number of airborne minutes or a guaranteed route. Paragliding depends on the day’s conditions, and the flight experience can vary.

Alpine views from a slower seat

From a paraglider, you see Davos and the surrounding valleys from above, without a window or engine between you and the air. The flight is quiet compared with a powered aircraft, which lets you pay attention to the shapes of the mountain peaks, the town below, and the broad Alpine setting.

I like that the experience gives you time to look around rather than reducing the scenery to a quick viewpoint stop. The supplied descriptions of the flights emphasize smooth, peaceful moments mixed with the excitement of being airborne. That combination is part of the appeal: it can feel restful one minute and thrilling the next.

Do keep your expectations sensible. Mountain weather can affect visibility, wind, and the timing of the activity. A clear day should offer the best views, but no operator can promise the same conditions for every booking.

The ability to talk with your pilot is another useful feature. If you are flying for the first time, conversation can help you settle in. If you already know something about paragliding, you can use the time to ask about the equipment or the way the flight is being handled.

Photos and video included in the price

The strongest value point is the photo and video package. Air-Davos provides pictures of the experience and an edited video, including footage from the takeoff, flight, and landing. One pair received dozens of photos and a finished video the same evening.

That is not a small extra. Paragliding is hard to photograph from the ground, and the best moments happen too quickly for you to record them yourself. Included images also mean you can keep your attention on the flight instead of trying to operate a phone in the air.

The two-person format makes this feature even better. You are not just receiving an image of one person strapped to a pilot. You can have pictures of both of you flying among the peaks, which is exactly the kind of record that suits a birthday gift or special trip.

I would still confirm how the files are delivered and when you should expect them before the flight. The information indicates that photos and video are included, and one pair received theirs the same day, but delivery timing may vary.

What $503.51 per person really buys

At $503.51 per person, this is an expensive activity. The listed price covers the tandem paragliding ride, pilot, and use of the paragliding equipment. It does not cover the cable car ticket or transport to and from attractions.

The fair comparison is not with a simple mountain viewpoint. You are paying for a private flying experience for two, professional pilot service, equipment, preparation, and a photo and video package. Since the images are included, the price may compare better with operators who charge separately for media.

Still, the cost is easiest to justify for a major occasion or a once-only Alpine experience. If you are watching every franc, Davos has plenty of mountain activities that cost less. If you want something unusual and highly personal, the shared flight and included media add real value.

Before you commit, calculate the full day cost. Add the cable car ticket, transport to Brämabüelstrasse 11, and any other Davos plans. The activity itself lasts around two hours, so you may want to pair it with a walk, meal, or other mountain visit.

Who will enjoy this most

I would recommend this for adults, couples, friends, and families with older children who want a memorable activity rather than a passive sightseeing stop. It is especially well suited to:

• A first-time flyer who wants a careful introduction
• A pair celebrating a birthday or anniversary
• Friends who want to share the same adventure
• Someone who values professional photos and video
• Visitors with moderate fitness who can follow takeoff and landing directions

The experience is not recommended for children aged eight and under. One account describes an eight-year-old flying with a pilot, but the stated guidance says the activity is not recommended for children aged eight and under. If you are booking for a child near that age, ask Air-Davos to confirm suitability before paying.

The weight range is 20 to 125 kilograms. This applies to each passenger, so check the requirement honestly when booking. The activity is not suitable if you fall outside that range.

Nervousness alone does not rule you out. The named pilots are praised for their calm manner, and the briefing is designed to prepare you. But you should be willing to take part in an outdoor flying activity and accept that weather may alter the plan.

Weather, cancellation, and practical planning

This flight requires good weather. If Air-Davos cancels because conditions are poor, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. That protection is important for a mountain activity, where conditions can change beyond anyone’s control.

If you need to cancel, do it at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Cancellations or changes made inside 24 hours are not accepted for a refund. The cut-off uses local time in Davos.

I would book this early enough to leave room for a weather change, especially if your stay is short. A flexible schedule gives you a better chance of flying without disrupting the rest of your trip. Keep your phone available for updates, although no specific communication process is provided.

Bring a practical attitude rather than a packed schedule. You need to reach the meeting point, take part in the briefing, use the cable car arrangement, and return after the activity. Since transportation is not included, plan that part before the day begins.

Why Air-Davos earns strong marks

The most consistent strength is the pilot team. Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan are singled out for clear communication, calm behavior, professionalism, and obvious experience. Those qualities matter more here than fancy sales language.

I also place real value on the way the pilots work with nervous passengers and children. A calm voice and simple instructions can change the whole mood of a first flight. The equipment is supplied, the group is private, and the passenger pair flies together.

The photos and video add another strong point. Receiving dozens of photos and an edited film the same evening is particularly useful if this is a gift or the main event of your Davos visit.

The limitations are clear too. The price is high, extra transport and cable car costs apply, and weather can cancel or change the date. You also cannot assume a particular flight duration or route from the two-hour activity window.

Should you book this Davos flight?

Book it if you want a shared Alpine adventure and can accept the cost, weather risk, and extra cable car expense. The combination of two passengers flying side by side, named pilots with a calm approach, and included photos and video makes this more memorable than a standard activity with a quick ride and a separate media charge.

I would be most likely to book it for a birthday, anniversary, or special trip with someone who has always wanted to paraglide. I would hesitate only if your budget is tight, your schedule cannot handle a weather change, or you are uncomfortable with the physical and emotional demands of takeoff.

For a first flight, the best plan is simple: arrive ready to listen, allow plenty of time, and let the pilot manage the technical work. You focus on the mountain views and enjoy having your companion in the air beside you.
