Flying in the Alps feels like a switch flips. In Klosters, you and your partner soar together in a two-passenger tandem setup with pilots, so the experience stays focused on couple time, not waiting. You also get moments where you can steer the glider, plus some thrilling maneuvers.

Two things I really like: the pilot-led safety guidance (including launch and landing procedures) and the fact that you fly with your group during the full adventure. The gear is handled for you too, so you can concentrate on what matters: staying calm, listening, and taking in the air views.

One consideration before you book: this paragliding ride requires good weather, so you should plan for possible rescheduling if conditions are poor.

Key things to know before you book Klosters paragliding for two

• Two passengers go up together in Klosters, with pilots accompanying you for the full ride
• Safety briefing plus hands-on practice before launch, including start training on the slope
• You may steer the paraglider and experience lively maneuvers while your pilot handles the rest
• You’ll get major views over Davos from the air, with a route that includes the Prättigau area
• Photos and videos are part of the keepsake package, so you leave with proof you were up there

Why Klosters tandem paragliding is built for couples

If you’re doing Davos for a trip highlight, this is the kind of activity that turns your whole day into a story you keep telling. The setup is designed for pairs: you’re not just watching your partner fly from the ground. You go up as a couple, with pilots in the air with you so the experience stays shared.

The price looks steep at $397.56 per person, but it includes the things that make paragliding safe and smooth. You’re paying for a tandem ride, a pilot, and use of the paragliding equipment. That matters more than people think, because the real cost isn’t just the flight time. It’s the training, the gear, and the supervision that lets a beginner feel like they belong up there.

Also, the experience is not only about “getting launched and sent away.” You get a briefing on launch and landing procedures, and you’re given chances to participate—steering the glider and experiencing maneuvers—while the pilot keeps everything controlled. That mix is what makes it feel personal instead of like a ticketed ride.

Couples tend to love it for one simple reason: you’re sharing the same sky view at the same moment. And in a place like the Swiss Alps, that shared perspective is hard to replicate any other way.

Getting to the launch: Klosters Platz meeting point and the cable car add-on

Plan your timing around the fact that the cable car is not included. The activity lists a cable car ticket at $35 USD per person, so treat that as part of your “total cost” math. You’ll also want to think about transportation to and from the meeting point, because that’s not included.

Your meeting point is:

Gotschnastrasse 19, 7250 Klosters Platz, Switzerland

The activity ends back at the same meeting point.

In practice, it helps to think in terms of: meet near the lift area, get up to the launch zone, then fly. One helpful detail from experience shared by past participants: the Treffpunkt is right down by the Jakobshornbahn, and there’s enough time to buy a cable car ticket before going up. Another useful point: the start area is described as being directly below the summit, which can mean less walking than you might expect.

What should you do with that? Keep your morning or early afternoon plan flexible. If you’re arriving from elsewhere in the region, give yourself buffer time so you do not feel rushed when it’s time to get elevation and gear ready.

And a quick practical note: wear clothes you can move in. You’re not just sitting for a postcard photo. You’ll be suiting up, listening closely, and doing a couple of start-and-prep actions before the moment of lift-off.

Before takeoff: briefing, gear, and practice so you feel in control

Good tandem paragliding doesn’t start when you leave the ground. It starts with how you’re set up to succeed.

Before launch, you’ll get a detailed briefing about launch and landing procedures. That briefing is one of the biggest reasons beginners often feel comfortable here, even if you have never tried it before. You’re not guessing. You’re being taught what happens next and what you should do.

You’re also provided with paragliding equipment. From prior participants, this includes helmets and gloves, which helps you feel safer right away. You’ll also have an opportunity to practice the start on the slope before you actually launch. One shared tip is that you can practice starting on the hang twice. That repetition sounds small, but it gives your body a chance to learn the motion before it counts.

That practice is also where you learn how to stay relaxed. When you’re seated in harnesses and about to run a few steps, your brain can go into panic mode fast. The training reduces that. You’ll know what to expect, and you can focus on listening to your pilot.

And your pilot is there with you throughout. That matters for couple travel because you want both of you supported at the same time, not one person handled while the other waits. You’re in the experience together from the first briefing step.

The two-part flight plan: perfect launch site, then Prättigau views

The ride is organized around two key moments.

First, you start from a perfect launch site in the alpine area. This is where the “feel” of paragliding begins. Even before you’re flying full-time, you’re transitioning from slope start to air glide. That transition is why the practice beforehand helps so much. It turns a scary unknown into a guided sequence.

From there, your flight time becomes the main event. You’ll see incredible aerial views of Davos, and the experience is designed for both beginners and more experienced participants. That means your pilot can match how much instruction and control to give you without turning it into a one-size-fits-all routine.

Second, the experience includes a Swiss village in the Prättigau region. The way this plays out in real life depends on conditions and wind, but the point is consistent: you’re not only looking at one townscape. You’re getting a broader sense of the region—mountain valleys, villages, and the way everything connects when you’re above it.

On top of that, you may get the chance to steer the glider. Steering time is usually the moment that makes it feel like more than a scenic ride. You’re not just a passenger watching. You’re participating. And yes, you can expect thrilling maneuvers, but always with your pilot managing what you cannot see from your seat.

For couples, this part is gold. It’s the stretch of the flight where both of you are looking at the same valley views, while one of you steers and the other watches the motion shift the way the air feels. It creates a shared memory that is hard to get from any ground-based activity.

What the aerial views over Davos actually feel like

People describe paragliding views with big words, but what you probably care about is simpler: will it look worth it from the seat?

Here’s what you should expect based on how this experience is positioned: you’re going over Davos from the air, and you’ll be able to take in the bigger picture. From up there, town edges, road lines, and mountain contours become patterns. You can also see how villages sit in the valley and how steep the terrain gets around them. That visual shift is part of why the ride sticks with you.

And because it’s tandem for two passengers, you’re not stuck choosing between the thrill and the romance. You get both. Even if one of you is more nervous, the pilot presence plus the briefing structure helps keep the experience calm enough to still enjoy it.

Another reason it feels special: the flight includes enough “doing” that you will remember the controls, not just the view. With steering time and maneuvers, your brain gets active during the flight. That boosts your sense of participation and makes the views feel sharper and more real.

Then there’s the practical side of keeping memories. Photos and videos are included in the package, so you can focus on flying and feeling the moment without juggling a camera with gloves on. You end up with digital proof and shareable content for your next dinner conversation.

Safety and comfort: what you need to be ready for

This ride is tandem, but it is still physical. You should have a moderate physical fitness level. That does not mean you need to be an athlete. It does mean you should feel comfortable with short pre-launch steps, harnessing, and moving into position.

There are also clear weight limits for passengers:

• Passenger weight between 20 and 125 kg

If you’re outside that range, this exact activity won’t be suitable. It’s a good reminder that paragliding is controlled by physics and safety parameters, not vibes.

Age is also a factor. It is not recommended for child aged 8 and under. If you’re bringing kids, this matters for decision-making.

Most importantly, your safety is handled by the pilot. The experience includes safety procedures and a pilot who accompanies you throughout. You will not be left on your own with gear.

Comfort-wise, you should assume you’ll want to dress for cool mountain air. Even when Davos feels mild, the air at altitude can feel colder than you expect. Bring layers you can manage and keep your hands protected with the gloves provided.

Weather rules and why you should keep your plans flexible

Paragliding is one of those activities where nature runs the schedule. This experience requires good weather.

If conditions are not right, you’ll be offered either a different date or a full refund. That’s the kind of flexibility you want for a trip highlight, because it protects your money while still giving you a shot to fly when skies allow.

How to apply this to your trip planning? Pick a day when you are not locked into a critical appointment later in the day. If the flight gets rescheduled, you’ll be happier if you have time to absorb the change.

Private format in Klosters: only your group in the air

This is listed as a private tour/activity, meaning only your group will participate. In practice, that often feels better than busy group rides, especially when you’re doing something as intimate as tandem flying.

Private format can mean:

• more attention from the pilot for your group
• less waiting around with strangers
• a calmer experience where you can focus on each other

For couples, that’s a real quality-of-life upgrade. It helps keep the moment about you, not about traffic on the launch hill.

Who should book Air-Davos Paragliding for two

This experience fits a range of comfort levels because it’s built with briefing and pilot guidance. It can work for beginners because you’re taught launch and landing procedures and trained on the slope first. It can also appeal to people who already fly or want more involvement, because steering opportunities and maneuvers give you something to do beyond sitting.

It’s especially suited to:

• couples celebrating something special
• travelers who want a high-impact activity without needing prior paragliding experience
• people who want views over Davos and a sense of the Prättigau region from above

It’s less suited to:

• anyone who cannot meet the stated weight range
• people who do not feel comfortable with moderate physical demands
• families with very young kids (because it is not recommended for child aged 8 and under)

Price and value: what $397.56 per person really buys

At $397.56 per person for a ride lasting about 2 hours, the sticker shock is real. But here’s what the price is covering in a way that feels fair:

You get:

• a tandem paragliding ride
• the pilot
• use of the paragliding equipment
• photos and videos as part of the experience
• a structured briefing, plus launch and landing guidance

What you don’t get:

• the cable car ticket ($35 USD per person)
• transportation to and from the activity area

So the value equation is simple. If you factor in the lift cost, you’re still paying for safety, trained supervision, gear, and an experience you cannot recreate on your own. And because this is designed for couples to fly together, you’re not paying for solo thrills that leave one partner behind.

If paragliding is already on your “must do” list for Switzerland, this price stops feeling outrageous and starts feeling like a proper splurge: the kind you remember every year.

Should you book this Klosters paragliding for two?

I would book it if you want a true trip highlight in the Swiss Alps that is built around couple time—shared views over Davos, steering time, and pilots who handle safety from the briefing through the ride.

I would think twice if:

• your schedule cannot tolerate rescheduling due to weather
• you do not want extra costs like the cable car ticket
• you or your partner fall outside the 20 to 125 kg weight range or do not meet moderate fitness needs

If you’re within the limits and you can keep your day flexible, this is one of the most memorable ways to see the Davos region from above—without needing experience, and with a keepsake package to bring the moment home.
