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

Flying above Davos with someone you know gives this experience its best trick: you can share the view while each of you rides with a separate pilot. I like the side-by-side format, and I like that photos and a finished video are included rather than sold as an afterthought. You get a keepsake of the takeoff, flight, and landing.

The pilots, including Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan, are praised for calm instructions and a friendly manner. The main catch is practical: the cable car ticket is not included, and the flight depends on good weather. Plan some flexibility, especially if this is the centerpiece of your day in Davos.

Key points to know before booking

• Two people fly together: You and your partner or friend can take off and fly alongside each other with separate pilots.
• Photos and video are included: Air-Davos sends images and an edited video, with some guests receiving them the same evening.
• The briefing comes first: Your pilot explains takeoff and landing before you head into the air.
• Experienced pilots set the tone: Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan are repeatedly praised for calm guidance and clear communication.
• The cable car costs extra: Bring this additional expense into your planning.
• Weight and age limits apply: Passengers must weigh between 20 and 125 kilograms, and the activity is not recommended for children aged 8 and under.

What makes the two-passenger flight special

Tandem paragliding is already a shared experience with a pilot. This version adds another layer: two people from the same group fly at the same time, close enough to enjoy the same alpine views and compare the experience afterward.

That matters if you are booking this as a birthday surprise, a couple’s outing, or a memorable activity with a friend. You are not forced into separate time slots while the other person waits on the ground. Instead, both passengers get their own pilot and their own flight, while remaining part of the same airborne moment.

The arrangement also helps if one person feels nervous. You can listen to your own pilot while seeing your companion nearby. The supplied photos and video add another benefit, since you can later see both people in the air rather than ending up with a collection of pictures of only one passenger.

This is not a private flight for your group alone in the sense of having the entire mountain to yourself. It is a private activity for your booking group, with only your party participating in the experience. Each passenger flies in a tandem setup with a trained pilot.

Meeting Air-Davos at Brämabüelstrasse 11

The meeting point is Air-Davos Paragliding at Brämabüelstrasse 11, 7270 Davos, Switzerland. The activity ends back at the same meeting point, which keeps the day easier to organize than an outing with several separate pickup and drop-off locations.

Transportation to and from attractions is not included. The cable car ticket is also separate, so you should check the route and budget before your appointment. The flight itself begins after you reach the takeoff area, but the advertised duration is about two hours overall.

That two-hour estimate should be treated as a block of time rather than two full hours in the air. It includes meeting the pilots, receiving instructions, using the cable car or reaching the flight area, preparing for takeoff, flying, and returning. Exact airtime can depend on weather and flying conditions, neither of which is fixed in advance.

I would avoid scheduling a tight lunch reservation or train connection immediately afterward. The activity is weather dependent, and mountain transport can add timing changes. A little breathing room makes the day less stressful.

The pre-flight briefing and equipment

Before takeoff, your pilot gives an in-depth explanation of what you need to do. The main subjects are takeoff and landing, the two moments when your attention matters most. You use the paragliding equipment provided by Air-Davos, so you do not need to bring specialized gear.

The briefing is especially useful if this is your first flight. You are not expected to understand the equipment or know how to launch. Your job is to listen closely, follow the pilot’s instructions, and stay attentive during the short active parts of the experience.

Pilots such as Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan are described as clear, calm, and professional. That is important here. A good tandem flight depends less on athletic skill than on trust and simple communication. Several passengers who felt nervous beforehand found the pilots reassuring and easy to follow.

You should still bring a moderate level of physical fitness. The activity is not described as suitable for every mobility level, and you need to meet the stated passenger weight range of 20 to 125 kilograms. The experience is not recommended for children aged 8 and under.

Takeoff: follow the pilot and let the wing work

The takeoff is likely to be the most active part of the flight. Your pilot will tell you what to do, and the briefing gives you a clear idea of what to expect. You do not need to manage the wing yourself, but you do need to cooperate with the pilot’s instructions.

For a first-time passenger, the mental hurdle can be larger than the physical one. You may feel the build-up as the flight begins, then find that the transition into the air is smoother than expected. One passenger who was quite frightened beforehand described the experience as highly enjoyable once the flight was underway.

This is where the pilots’ manner matters most. Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan are repeatedly singled out for being calm, friendly, and experienced. Their role is not just to operate the paraglider. They also help you stay focused, which can prevent nervousness from taking over the moment.

Wear practical clothing suited to mountain conditions, though the provided information does not specify a required dress code. Conditions can change in the Alps, so sensible layers are a better choice than dressing only for the temperature in town.

Above Davos with your partner beside you

Once airborne, the activity shifts from instructions to sightseeing. You can look across Davos and the surrounding valleys, with mountain peaks stretching around the flight path. The height gives you a broad view that is hard to match from a road or town lookout.

The mood can be both peaceful and thrilling. You are moving through open air, but the flight is not described as a nonstop adrenaline ride. Several passengers found it smooth and serene, while still feeling exciting enough to make the occasion special.

You can speak with your pilot during the flight. That gives you a chance to ask questions, point out views, or simply settle into the experience. If you prefer to stay quiet and look around, you can do that too. The pilot handles the flight while you focus on the scenery.

The two-person format is the star here. You can see your partner or friend flying nearby, rather than trying to explain the view later. That makes the activity particularly good for a birthday gift or a shared milestone. It also creates a natural comparison afterward: who felt the first lift, who enjoyed the view most, and who was ready for another flight?

Photos and video are more than a small extra

Air-Davos includes photos and video in the price. That is a meaningful part of the value because you cannot easily document yourself while suspended under a paraglider. Your hands and attention are better spent enjoying the ride.

The supplied media covers takeoffs, flights, and landings, along with some pre-flight pictures. One detailed account describes receiving dozens of photos and a professionally edited video later the same day. Another says the images and video were sent that evening.

Delivery timing can vary, so you should not treat same-day arrival as a guaranteed service promise. Still, the inclusion itself is unusual enough to affect the total value. With many adventure activities, media packages are an optional extra that only appears after you have paid for the main activity. Here, the photos and video are part of the stated offer.

The two-person flight also gives the camera a better story to capture. You can appear in the same sequence as your companion, rather than collecting separate memories. If the activity is a gift, that finished video may be one of the strongest reasons to choose this option.

How much value do you get for $503.51 per person?

At $503.51 per person, this is a major activity purchase. For two people, the base price reaches just over $1,000 before cable car tickets, so you should view it as a special event rather than a casual add-on.

The price includes the tandem ride, pilot, and paragliding equipment. It also includes photos and video, which improves the comparison with companies that charge separately for media. You are paying for two guided flights, not simply access to a launch site.

The cost makes the most sense if you place real value on the shared format and the included keepsakes. A standard mountain viewpoint will cost less, of course, but it cannot give you the same aerial perspective or the experience of flying beside a partner. If you are choosing between this and several smaller activities, think about how much you want one memorable centerpiece.

The cable car ticket remains an extra cost. Transportation to and from attractions is not included either. Those omissions do not make the price unreasonable, but they do mean you should calculate the complete day, not just the headline rate.

Weather, timing, and cancellation

Paragliding needs suitable weather. If poor conditions cancel the activity, you are offered a different date or a full refund. That protection is useful, but it does not remove the need for flexibility in your schedule.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the activity are not refunded, and changes within that period are not accepted. The cutoff follows local time in Davos.

I would book this early enough to secure the date you want, but keep another plan ready for the rest of the day. If your visit to Davos is short, a weather cancellation can affect your schedule even if the refund policy is fair. If you have several days in town, you have a better chance of moving the flight.

The mobile ticket makes access easier once you have booked. Confirmation is provided at booking, so you can keep the details on your phone. English is offered.

Who will enjoy this most?

This is a strong match for couples, friends, and family members who want to share a high-value Alpine activity. It also suits first-time flyers because the pilot manages the equipment and explains the key steps before takeoff.

You do not need prior paragliding experience. The most important requirements are following instructions, having moderate physical fitness, meeting the 20 to 125 kilogram weight range, and being comfortable with the basic idea of tandem flight.

It can work well for a nervous passenger, provided that person is willing to try. Martin and the other pilots receive strong praise for calm, friendly support, and one account specifically describes a frightened passenger enjoying the flight after takeoff. Still, no pilot can remove every fear, so do not book this as a surprise for someone who has clearly said they do not want to fly.

Families should pay close attention to the age guidance. The activity is not recommended for children aged 8 and under, although one account describes Martin taking special care with an 8-year-old daughter. That individual experience does not replace the stated age guidance, so confirm suitability before booking a child.

The main drawbacks to weigh

The biggest drawback is the price. At $503.51 per person, this is not a budget way to see Davos. The extra cable car cost raises the total further.

The second issue is the weather. You cannot guarantee the exact flight conditions on your chosen date, and poor weather can force a change. The refund or alternate-date option helps, but it may not solve the problem if you are leaving Davos soon.

The two-hour duration also needs realistic expectations. It covers the full activity window, not necessarily two hours of airborne flight. The available information does not state the exact flight time, so ask Air-Davos if airtime is a deciding factor for you.

Finally, the experience is not suitable for everyone. The age, weight, and fitness requirements are clear, and the activity involves a takeoff and landing that may not appeal to passengers with serious mobility concerns. Check your own comfort level before paying.

Should you book Air-Davos Paragliding?

I would book this if you want one memorable Alpine activity for two people and you care about taking home strong visual memories. The side-by-side flight, calm pilots, and included photos and video give the experience more substance than a basic ride in the air.

I would skip it if $503.51 per person stretches your budget, if your Davos schedule cannot handle a weather change, or if you want a long day of flying rather than a roughly two-hour activity window. Remember to add the cable car ticket and allow time around the meeting point.

For a birthday, anniversary, or first paragliding attempt, this is an appealing choice. Air-Davos puts the focus on clear guidance and shared views, not on making you perform tricks. If the price works for you and the weather gives you a window, this is a memorable way to see Davos from above.
