Review · PARAGLIDING WITH PHOTOS & VIDEO
DAVOS: Paragliding For 2 Passengers – Together In The Air! (Video&Photos Incl.)
Flying side by side above Davos is the special part of this experience. You and a partner or friend take separate tandem flights with your pilots, sharing the same mountain air and wide views across the Swiss Alps. Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan are named among the pilots who have led recent flights.
I like two things in particular: photos and video are included, and the pilots put real effort into making nervous first-timers feel safe. The main drawback is practical rather than thrilling: the $503.51 price is per person, and you still need to pay for the cable car and arrange your own transport.
Key points at a glance
- Two people fly at the same time: You and your companion can enjoy the experience together rather than taking turns on separate days.
- A proper briefing comes first: Your pilot explains take-off and landing before you head into the air.
- Photos and video are included: You receive visual memories of the flight, including take-off, time in the air, and landing.
- The setting is Davos: Expect broad views of mountain peaks, valleys, and the town below.
- Private for your group: Only your party participates in the activity.
- Weather controls the schedule: Poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.
Flying together above Davos

Paragliding is often sold as a personal thrill, but this Davos experience is set up especially well for two people. You and your partner or friend fly in separate tandem paragliders, with a pilot attached to each passenger. That means you can share the excitement in real time, rather than land and compare stories afterward.
The flight takes place with Air-Davos Paragliding, beginning and ending at Brämabüelstrasse 11 in Davos. The full activity lasts about two hours, though the exact amount of time in the air can depend on weather and flying conditions. The supplied details do not promise a fixed flight length, so I would treat the two-hour figure as the full appointment rather than two hours of continuous airtime.
The main attraction is the view. From above Davos, you look across mountain peaks and valleys instead of seeing the Alps only from a road, train, or ski lift. The experience gives you a quiet, open perspective, with the added fun of talking with your pilot while you fly.
That combination matters. This is not simply a fast ride with a quick photo at the end. Your pilot handles the equipment and the flight, while you focus on the views and the unusual sensation of floating above the valley.

Meeting the pilots and preparing for take-off

The experience begins with an in-depth briefing about take-off and landing. This is an important part of the activity, especially if you have never tried paragliding. You need to understand what your pilot will ask you to do, when to move, and how the landing will work.
Pilots named in the supplied information include Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan. They are described as calm, professional, and clear in their instructions. That is exactly what I want from a tandem pilot. You do not need a long technical lecture, but you do need directions that are easy to follow when your heart is beating faster than usual.
The briefing also gives you a chance to raise concerns before leaving the ground. One person who was quite frightened at first still found the experience enjoyable after working with Martin and Damir. Another first-time passenger described the flight as peaceful as well as exciting, which is a useful reminder that paragliding is not nonstop adrenaline.
You should arrive ready to listen and follow directions. The activity requires a moderate level of physical fitness, and the operator sets a passenger weight range of 20 to 125 kilograms. It is not recommended for children aged eight and under. These limits are worth checking carefully before you book, especially if the experience is a gift for someone else.
The Davos take-off and alpine views

The take-off is one of the moments that can feel most intimidating. Your pilot will guide you through it, but you are still moving from solid ground into open air. The briefing is designed to make this transition clear rather than mysterious.
Once airborne, the mood can change quickly. The flight descriptions emphasize a smooth, peaceful feeling, with the surrounding mountains providing the drama. You may find that the experience feels less like a roller coaster and more like sitting in a wide-open seat above the valley.
You can talk with your pilot during the flight, which adds a personal touch. If you are nervous, that conversation can help you stay focused. If you are comfortable, you can ask about the area or simply watch Davos and the surrounding peaks pass below.
The views are the real reason to choose paragliding over a standard mountain attraction. A cable car gives you access to a summit or viewpoint, but a paraglider lets you move through the air and see the terrain from changing angles. You are not just looking at a postcard view. You are part of it for a short time.
Still, keep your expectations sensible. Mountain weather can affect the timing, route, and whether the flight operates at all. This activity requires good weather, and the operator may cancel if conditions are poor. That is a safety measure, not a flaw, but you should avoid scheduling it as your only fixed activity in Davos.
Why the two-person format works so well
The two-person setup is the strongest reason to choose this specific experience. You and your companion can fly at the same time, with one pilot each. The shared experience makes this a natural choice for a birthday, anniversary, couple’s outing, or a memorable day with a close friend.
It also reduces the awkwardness that can come with a first adventure. You are not sending one person up while the other waits on the ground, wondering what the experience will be like. Both of you can take part, compare the view afterward, and watch the other person’s flight from nearby when possible.
The activity is listed as private, meaning only your group participates. That does not mean you get a private aircraft or a completely custom schedule, but it does mean you are not joining a large mixed group for the whole experience. For a special occasion, that added privacy can make the day feel more personal.
The format suits different comfort levels, too. One person can be excited while the other is uneasy. The pilots’ clear guidance is useful here, and the supplied experiences describe Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan as calm and reassuring. No tandem activity can remove every fear, but having a professional pilot beside you makes a real difference.

Photos and video are part of the value

Many adventure activities charge extra for images. Here, photos and video are included, which makes the $503.51 per-person price easier to assess. The material is intended to cover the take-off, flight, and landing, along with some pre-flight moments.
The most useful detail is that the finished material may arrive the same evening. One account describes receiving dozens of photos and a professionally edited video later that day. That is a strong benefit if you are visiting Davos for a short stay and want to share the experience while it is still fresh.
The images also solve a common problem with tandem activities: you cannot take your own photos safely while managing the flight. Having the pilots handle the recording lets you keep your hands and attention where they belong.
I would still think of the media package as a bonus, not the main reason to book. Mountain light and weather can affect the result, and the exact number of photos is not specified. The core value is the flight itself. The included photos and video simply make it easier to remember and share.
Is $503.51 per person a fair price?

At $503.51 per person, this is a major holiday expense. It is not a casual add-on for most visitors, especially because cable-car tickets and transport to or from attractions are not included.
The value improves if you want a special event rather than a standard sightseeing stop. You are paying for a tandem flight, a pilot, the paragliding equipment, a private group arrangement, and photos and video. The experience also gives you something a cable car cannot: a moving view from high above Davos.
The included media is especially helpful in the price comparison. Other paragliding operators may charge separately for photos or video, while this experience includes both. That does not automatically make it the cheapest choice, but it makes the final cost easier to understand.
For a couple or two friends, the shared format adds value. For a solo visitor, this particular product may be less compelling if the two-passenger setup is central to your plans. The listed price is per person, so you should budget for two full fares if you are booking the experience as presented.
I would also leave room in your schedule for a weather change. If poor conditions cancel the flight, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. That protection reduces the financial risk, but it may not solve the problem of fitting a replacement flight into a short trip.
Getting to the meeting point in Davos
You meet at Brämabüelstrasse 11, 7270 Davos, Switzerland, and the activity ends back at the same meeting point. Transportation to and from attractions is not included, so you are responsible for reaching the start point.
The cable-car ticket is also extra. Since the activity involves mountain access, this cost is important to include in your total budget. The supplied information does not state the exact cable car route, fare, or whether the ticket is purchased on the day, so confirm those details before you travel.
The mobile ticket is convenient. You can keep the booking confirmation on your phone rather than carrying a printed voucher. Confirmation is provided when you book, which helps you plan the rest of your day around the appointment.
I would not schedule another fixed activity immediately afterward. The listed duration is about two hours, and mountain activities can shift with weather and operating conditions. Give yourself breathing room for the meeting, briefing, cable-car arrangements, flight, landing, and return to the meeting point.
Who will enjoy this most?
This experience is a good match for:
- Couples looking for a memorable shared activity in Davos
- Friends who want to try something unusual together
- First-time paragliders who value patient instruction
- Birthday or anniversary gift buyers
- Visitors who want photos and video without paying a separate media fee
- People with moderate physical fitness who meet the weight requirement
It may be a poor fit if you dislike heights, need a guaranteed timetable, or want a low-cost sightseeing activity. A nervous passenger can still enjoy the flight, but you should be honest about your comfort level. The pilots can guide you, but they cannot remove every concern about leaving the ground.
Families should check the age rule carefully. The activity is not recommended for children aged eight and under. The supplied details also specify a passenger weight range of 20 to 125 kilograms, so confirm that everyone in your party qualifies before payment.
What the strongest parts of the experience are

The pilots receive the clearest praise. Martin is described as calm, professional, and good at explaining the process. Fabio, Damir, and Jan are also named as experienced and friendly pilots. The important point for you is not any one personality, but the presence of pilots who can give simple instructions and help nervous passengers settle.
The feeling of the flight is another major strength. It combines excitement with quiet time above Davos. You can speak with your pilot, watch the peaks, and enjoy a slower aerial view than you would get from a fast amusement ride.
The photos and edited video are a practical win. They record the parts you cannot see from the ground, including your take-off, time in the air, and landing. Receiving them the same evening is particularly useful if you are on a short Swiss holiday.
The two-person format also earns its place. You share the adventure rather than splitting up, and the private arrangement keeps the outing focused on your own group.
Booking advice for a smooth day
Book with the weather in mind. Since poor conditions can cancel the flight, avoid placing it on the final morning of a short trip if you have any flexibility. A backup date gives you a better chance of flying.
Check the passenger details before booking. Confirm the age, weight, and fitness requirements for both people. If one passenger is unsure about heights, allow time for the briefing and do not treat the activity as something they must endure.
Budget beyond the headline price. At $503.51 per person, the flight is already a significant purchase. Add the cable-car ticket and your transport costs, then decide if the included photos and video make the overall package worthwhile for you.
Finally, keep your phone charged. You will not need it to record the flight, since photos and video are included, but you may want it ready for the mobile ticket and for sharing the finished material afterward.
Should you book Air-Davos Paragliding?
Book this experience if you want a high-value memory rather than a cheap view, and especially if you are visiting Davos with a partner or friend. The strongest reasons are the side-by-side format, calm pilot guidance, mountain scenery, and included photos and video.
Skip it if the price is outside your comfort zone, you need a fixed schedule, or you are not comfortable with heights. For everyone else who meets the age, weight, and fitness requirements, this is a well-focused way to see Davos from the air. Just budget for the cable car, allow time for weather changes, and choose a date that leaves room for a second chance.
