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

The best part of this Klosters experience is simple: you and your partner fly at the same time, each with your own pilot, instead of taking turns watching from the ground. After a short briefing and launch practice, you run a few steps on an alpine slope and let the wind do the rest.

I like the clear beginner-friendly setup and the included photos and video. You do not need previous paragliding experience, and your pilot stays with you throughout. The main drawback is cost: at $397.56 per person, plus about $35 for the cable car, this is a special-occasion splurge rather than a casual afternoon activity.

Key points to know before booking

• Two pilots, two passengers: You and your partner fly together in separate tandem gliders.
• Launch near the mountain top: The cable car brings you close to the takeoff area, so there is no long hike to the launch point.
• Photos and video included: You receive a lasting record of the flight, not just the memory.
• Practice comes first: You rehearse the takeoff on the slope before leaving the ground.
• Views over Davos and Klosters: The flight gives you a high view of the Prättigau area and nearby Swiss villages.
• Weather controls the schedule: Poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.

Taking flight above Klosters and Davos

This is not a sightseeing ride with a quick photo stop. It is an active tandem flight where you help with the beginning of the experience, then settle into the glider while a trained pilot handles the flight.

You meet Air-Davos Paragliding at Gotschnastrasse 19 in Klosters Platz. The activity lasts about two hours from start to finish, though the actual time in the air can vary with local conditions. Plan for the meeting, cable-car ride, safety talk, preparation, launch, flight, and return to the meeting point.

The setting is one of the strongest reasons to consider it. Klosters is a Swiss village in the Prättigau region, while nearby Davos gives the flight its broad mountain views. From above, you see the village pattern, slopes, and surrounding alpine scenery in a way that is impossible from a road or walking trail.

For a couple, the shared timing matters. You are not sending one person up while the other waits below with a camera. Two pilots take you into the air at the same time, allowing you to share the main part of the experience as it happens.

What happens at the launch site

A cable car ticket is not included, and the stated extra cost is about $35 per person. That adds to the price, but it also saves you from making a long climb on foot with the equipment and keeps the activity practical within a two-hour schedule.

The launch site is described as being directly below the summit area, with little walking needed after getting off the lift. That is useful if you are fit enough for the activity but do not want a long uphill approach. One practical detail from the local arrangements is that you should allow enough time to buy the cable-car ticket before the planned meeting time.

The meeting information points to Klosters Platz, while one of the supplied accounts refers to the Jakobshornbahn area. Since mountain transport points can be easy to confuse, confirm the exact lift and meeting instructions with Air-Davos Paragliding before you set out. Arriving late could affect the tightly timed launch process.

At the top, you receive a briefing on how to take off and land. This is not a technical lecture aimed only at experienced pilots. It is designed to give first-time passengers a clear idea of what their legs and body need to do.

You also practice the takeoff on the slope. One account describes rehearsing the start twice before the real attempt, which is precisely the sort of preparation that helps calm nerves. You do not simply sit down and wait for the pilot to pull you into the air. You take a few running steps as the glider fills, following the pilot’s instructions.

The tandem flight and the views

Once the glider is ready, the takeoff is the active moment. You need a moderate level of physical fitness because you must manage the short running start and remain comfortable during the flight. The supplied requirements allow passengers weighing between 20 and 125 kilograms.

After launch, your pilot manages the glider and remains with you for the full ride. Beginners can enjoy the view without needing any past experience, while experienced paragliders may appreciate the chance to take in the area without arranging a solo flight.

The main visual reward is the view over Davos and the Prättigau region. You may see the Swiss village below, the broad mountain setting around it, and the relationship between the settlements and the slopes. The flight gives you a different sense of scale than a cable-car station or valley road.

You may also get a chance to steer the glider. This should be understood as a supervised part of the flight, not independent piloting. Your pilot remains responsible for the aircraft and the safety of the ride.

For passengers seeking more excitement, the flight can include thrilling maneuvers. These are a welcome option for someone who wants more than a quiet glide, but they are not the main reason to book if you are nervous about heights. Tell your pilot what sort of flight you want, especially if you prefer a calm ride focused on scenery.

The landing is also covered in the briefing. Your pilot explains what to do, so you are not left guessing when the ground approaches. The flight ends back at the meeting point, which keeps the return simple.

Why couples may find this worth the price

At $397.56 per person, the activity costs nearly $800 for two before the cable-car tickets. That is a serious amount for a two-hour outing, and I would not recommend it as a routine add-on for a long Swiss trip.

The value improves if you are marking an anniversary, birthday, honeymoon, or another major occasion. You get a private activity for your own group, two pilots, equipment, instruction, the flight itself, and photos and video. The included media is important because paragliding is difficult to document from the ground while you are in the air.

The two-person format also gives the price a clear purpose. You are paying for two separate tandem flights that happen together, not one flight shared by two passengers in the same glider. That means each person has a pilot and a full view.

The experience is still not a bargain. The cable car costs extra, transportation to and from attractions is not included, and you must make your own way to the meeting point. If your budget is tight, a mountain lift and a scenic walk will provide views for far less.

I would compare the cost with what else you want to do in Davos and Klosters. If this is the one memorable thrill of your visit, the package makes more sense. If you mainly want mountain scenery, there are cheaper ways to see it.

Safety, comfort, and physical demands

Air-Davos Paragliding provides the glider and other required equipment, with a pilot accompanying each passenger. Helmets and gloves are available, according to the practical details provided for the experience.

The safety process includes an explanation of takeoff and landing, plus practice before the real launch. That matters because the takeoff is the only point where you have a clear physical task. Once airborne, your pilot handles the flight.

You should have a moderate level of fitness. The requirement is not listed as an advanced athletic standard, but you should be able to follow instructions and run a few steps on a slope. If walking or running is difficult for you, ask the operator before booking.

Passenger weight must be between 20 and 125 kilograms. Children aged eight and under are not recommended for this activity. The information does not give a wider age policy, so check directly with the operator for older children and any questions about individual suitability.

The flight depends on good weather. Mountain conditions can change, and a canceled flight due to poor weather can be moved to another date or refunded in full. This makes the activity safer, but it means you should avoid placing it on the final few hours of your Swiss trip if you can arrange it earlier.

Photos, video, and the special-occasion factor

The included photos and video are one of the most practical benefits. You can enjoy the flight without trying to hold a phone, and you have something to share afterward. For a couple, the recording also captures the unusual fact that both of you are in the air at once.

The supplied experience details describe the media package as generous enough to make a lasting record, and the strongest praise centers on the amount of visual material provided. Still, ask how and when the files are delivered, since that detail is not specified.

I also like the small personal touches described in the arrangements. Helmets and gloves are provided, and the pilots are described as friendly and punctual. Those basics matter in an activity where calm instructions and an organized start can shape your whole day.

The pilots’ names are not provided, so I cannot tell you who will fly with you. You receive a pilot for each passenger, but the exact pairing may depend on the day’s schedule and operating conditions.

Timing and practical planning in Klosters

The activity begins and ends at the meeting point, but transportation to attractions is not included. You must arrange your own route to Gotschnastrasse 19 in Klosters Platz and pay separately for the cable car.

Give yourself time to find the meeting point and purchase the lift ticket. One supplied account notes that meeting in the early afternoon left enough time to buy the ticket and ride up, but you should not treat that as a reason to arrive at the last minute.

Wear clothing suitable for an alpine activity and be ready for a short running start. The provided information does not specify a clothing list, so ask Air-Davos Paragliding if you have concerns about footwear, weather protection, or what to bring.

A mobile ticket is provided, and confirmation arrives when you book. The tour is private, meaning only your own group participates. That is a useful advantage for couples who want a less public, more focused experience.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. A cancellation inside that window is not refunded, and late changes are not accepted. Because weather can disrupt the flight, keep some flexibility in your schedule.

Who should book this Klosters flight

I would recommend it most strongly to couples who want a shared thrill and do not mind paying for a premium activity. The same-time launch makes it more social than a standard solo booking, and the photos and video help justify some of the expense.

It also suits first-time paragliders who want structure. You receive a briefing, practice the takeoff, and have a pilot with you from launch through landing. You do not need to arrive with technical knowledge.

Experienced paragliders may enjoy the scenery and the chance to steer under supervision, but this is still a tandem experience. It is not a substitute for arranging an independent flight or extended training.

I would hesitate if you are uneasy with heights, dislike running starts, or have no flexibility for a weather change. The high price also makes it a poor choice if you are mainly searching for a cheap way to see the Alps.

Should you book it?

Book this Klosters paragliding experience if you want a shared mountain adventure, can manage the short launch run, and see the flight as a special event rather than ordinary sightseeing. The private two-pilot format, included photos and video, clear preparation, and views over Davos give it real appeal.

Skip it if the extra cable-car cost, high per-person price, or weather risk would bother you. For the right couple, though, this is the kind of unusual memory that can define a Swiss Alps visit.
