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 a trained pilot, high above the Swiss Alps. You get wide views over Davos, Klosters, and the Prättigau rather than watching one person take off while the other waits below. I like the careful start practice and the included photos and video, which let you keep more than a vague memory of the flight.

The main catch is the cost. At $397.56 per person, plus a cable car ticket of about $35 per person, this is a serious splurge. You also need moderate fitness, suitable weather, and a body weight between 20 and 125 kilograms.

Key points to know before booking

• Two pilots take two passengers into the air together, making this especially appealing for couples.
• The launch practice matters: you rehearse the takeoff on the slope before the real flight.
• The cable car costs extra, so allow about $70 more for two people.
• Photos and video are included, a useful bonus for a once-in-a-trip activity.
• The setting changes quickly from mountain launch to Swiss village views across the Prättigau.
• Weather controls the day, and poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.

Taking off above Klosters and Davos

This is not a sightseeing ride with a short flight tacked on. The flight is the main event, and the setting gives it real drama. You begin in Klosters, reach a suitable launch point in the Alps, and then run into the air with your pilot. Within moments, the village and valley are below you.

For couples, the two-person format is the strongest reason to choose this activity. You do not have to schedule separate flights or spend the experience wondering how your partner is doing. Two pilots take you up together, so you can share the same stretch of sky and compare views afterward while the memory is still fresh.

I also like the private format. Only your group participates, which gives the activity a more personal feel than a large commercial outing. The available information does not provide the pilots’ names, but it does make clear that a pilot stays with each passenger from the safety briefing through landing.

The flight lasts within an experience of about two hours, including preparation and the ride up to the launch area. That is long enough to feel like a real outing, but short enough to fit into a full day in Davos or Klosters.

The meeting point and ride to the launch

You meet at Gotschnastrasse 19, 7250 Klosters Platz. The activity finishes back at this meeting point. Transportation to and from other attractions is not included, so plan your route before the appointment rather than assuming a hotel pickup.

A practical detail deserves attention. The meeting instructions identify Gotschnastrasse 19, while one account describes meeting near the Jakobshornbahn before riding upward. Those locations may relate to the local arrangement, but you should confirm the exact meeting instructions with Air-Davos Paragliding before setting out, especially if you are coming from Davos rather than staying in Klosters.

The cable car ticket is separate and costs about $35 per person. For two people, that adds roughly $70 to the advertised price. Budget for the full outing, not just the flight fee, and allow enough time to buy the ticket and reach the launch area.

One useful detail from the preparation is that you do not appear to face a long walk from the upper cable car area to the launch point. The launch is described as directly below the summit, which is good news if you are carrying a day bag or simply want to keep the preflight routine easy.

Practicing the launch before you fly

The first few minutes on the slope are important. You receive an explanation of the launch and landing procedure, then practice starting on the hillside. The preparation includes two practice runs in the account provided, which is reassuring for a first-time flyer.

Tandem paragliding does not require you to know how to operate a glider. Your pilot handles the flight, but you still need to follow clear instructions during takeoff. That usually means moving with the pilot and maintaining the right pace as the canopy fills. The briefing helps you understand what your legs and body need to do at the key moment.

Helmets and gloves are available. You should still dress for mountain conditions, since the temperature and wind can feel different at the launch point and in the air. The supplied information does not list a clothing package, so bring practical outdoor clothing and shoes suitable for a sloped surface.

The practice is also a useful test of comfort. If you feel nervous at ground level, you have a chance to ask questions before leaving the slope. The pilots accompany you throughout, and the safety procedure is explained before takeoff rather than left until the last second.

What the alpine flight looks like

Once airborne, the views are the reward. You can expect broad sights over Davos, Klosters, and the Prättigau valley, with the Swiss village below and mountain ridges around you. The flight gives you a different sense of place than a cable car ride because the valley opens in all directions at once.

The launch site is described as an ideal alpine setting, and the flight path offers a clear look at the Swiss village in the Prättigau. The exact route and height will depend on conditions, so do not book this expecting a fixed sightseeing circuit. Paragliding is shaped by wind, weather, and the pilot’s decisions.

You may get the chance to steer the glider under the pilot’s direction. That can be a fun hands-on moment, but it does not turn the activity into a solo lesson. The pilot remains responsible for the flight and can also add thrilling maneuvers if conditions allow and you are comfortable with them.

This point matters for couples with different ideas of adventure. One person may want calm views, while the other hopes for sharper turns. Discuss that with the pilots before or during the flight. The supplied details promise the chance for exciting maneuvers, not a guarantee that every flight will include them.

The included photos and video add real value here. Flying can make it hard to take your own pictures, and a phone is not something you want to manage while following launch instructions. Having recorded images means you can focus on the flight instead of worrying about a camera.

A private activity with a special-occasion feel

This works particularly well for a birthday, anniversary, proposal trip, or another shared milestone. The two-person setup gives the activity a sense of occasion, and the pictures and video help preserve it. I would choose this over a standard scenic ride if you want a story to tell when you get home, not just another mountain viewpoint.

The private format also helps if you are shy about trying something new in front of a crowd. You share the experience with your own companion and the pilots. At the same time, private does not mean slow or flexible in every way. You still need to follow the assigned time, use the cable car, and accept that weather may change the plan.

The activity suits beginners because you do not need previous paragliding experience. Experienced flyers can also enjoy it, though an experienced paraglider may want to ask about the amount of control available and the kind of flight planned. This is a guided tandem ride, not a full independent flying session.

Is $397.56 per person fair value?

The listed price is $397.56 per person. For two people, that is $795.12 before the cable car, making the total roughly $865 for a pair if the $35 ticket applies to each passenger. That is expensive by ordinary sightseeing standards.

The price includes the tandem flight, a pilot for each passenger, the required paragliding equipment, and photos and video. Those inclusions matter because you are not paying only for a few minutes in the air. You are also paying for trained supervision, equipment, launch preparation, and the chance to fly together.

Still, the cost will not suit every budget. If your main aim is to see Davos from above, a cable car ride alone will cost far less. Choose this only if the flight itself is the point. The included media makes the package stronger for a special occasion, but it should not be treated as a cheap add-on.

I would compare this activity with other major trip expenses. If you are choosing between several paid mountain attractions, ask yourself if a shared flight is the experience you will remember most. For many couples, that is the argument in its favor. For budget-conscious visitors, the extra cable car fee and high per-person price are genuine drawbacks.

Fitness, weight, age, and weather

You need a moderate level of physical fitness. The launch requires you to practice on a slope and follow the pilot’s instructions, so this is not a sit-down attraction. The information does not set out a detailed medical standard, but anyone concerned about running, balance, or mountain terrain should ask the operator before booking.

Passenger weight must be between 20 and 125 kilograms. This applies to each passenger, so check the requirement for both people in your pair. Children aged eight and under are not recommended for the activity.

Weather is the biggest variable. The experience requires good conditions, and poor weather can lead to cancellation. In that case, you are offered a different date or a full refund. That policy protects you from forcing a flight in unsafe conditions, but it also means you should avoid scheduling this as the only fixed activity on the final day of your trip.

I would book it early enough in your stay to leave room for a weather change. If the flight is moved, an earlier booking gives you a better chance of finding another suitable day. The cancellation terms also allow a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes inside 24 hours are not refunded or accepted.

Who will enjoy this most?

I would recommend this to couples who want a shared thrill and do not mind paying for a premium activity. It is especially suited to first-time flyers because the pilots explain the process, provide equipment, and stay with you from start to finish.

It also fits an active day in Davos or Klosters. You can combine the flight with time in the mountain resort or the Prättigau area, but leave enough space for the cable car and preparation. Do not plan a tightly packed schedule around the two-hour estimate.

I would be more cautious about booking it for young children, people uneasy with slopes, or anyone who wants complete control over the route. The age, weight, fitness, and weather rules narrow the fit. You should also think twice if a high price would make the activity feel stressful rather than fun.

Practical tips for a smoother flight

• Confirm the exact meeting instructions before leaving your hotel, especially because the local directions refer to Gotschnastrasse 19 and the Jakobshornbahn.
• Keep about $35 per person aside for the cable car.
• Plan for roughly two hours, with extra time for reaching the launch point and returning.
• Wear practical outdoor clothing and shoes for a sloped alpine launch.
• Tell the pilot if you prefer a calm scenic flight or hope to try maneuvers.
• Book early in your stay so bad weather leaves room for another date.
• Check that both passengers meet the 20 to 125 kilogram requirement.
• Remember that the activity is private for your group, but transportation to and from other attractions is not included.

Should you book the Klosters tandem flight?

Book it if you want the two of you to share a real airborne adventure, not simply look at the Alps from a platform. The strongest features are the simultaneous flights, careful launch practice, private format, and included photos and video. The views over Davos and the Prättigau give the flight a strong sense of place.

Skip it if you are mainly searching for a low-cost mountain excursion. The $397.56 per-person price, added cable car ticket, weather risk, and fitness requirements make this a focused splurge. For couples celebrating something special and willing to pay for a memorable story, Air-Davos Paragliding offers a well-supported way to see Klosters from above.
