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

Flying above Klosters with your partner is the kind of Alpine outing that turns a sightseeing day into a story you will keep telling. You launch from a high mountain site, look down on the Swiss village of Klosters and the Prättigau, and may get a chance to guide the glider yourself.

I like the two-pilot setup, which lets both passengers fly at the same time instead of taking turns. I also like that photos and video are included, since keeping your hands free matters when you are busy taking in the views. The main drawback is cost: at $397.56 per person, plus a $35 cable-car ticket, this is a major splurge for a roughly two-hour activity.

Key points at a glance

• Two passengers fly together: You and your companion are in the air at the same time, each with a pilot.
• Launch practice is part of the preparation: You can expect instruction on starting and landing, with practice on the slope before takeoff.
• The cable-car ticket costs extra: Budget another $35 per person for the ride to the launch area.
• Photos and video are included: You can focus on the flight instead of trying to record it yourself.
• The views reach across Davos and Prättigau: The flight gives you a high view of the Swiss village of Klosters and the surrounding Alps.
• Weather controls the schedule: Poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.

Taking off above Klosters

Air-Davos Paragliding sets this outing up as a private activity for your own group. For a couple, that is a real advantage. You are not sharing the flight with a larger party, and the two passengers can enjoy the same moment in the air with two pilots.

The start is in Klosters Platz at Gotschnastrasse 19, 7250 Klosters Platz, Switzerland. One practical note deserves attention: a detailed account of the meeting arrangements places the meeting near the lower Jakobshornbahn area, with a 1:50 p.m. meeting time and enough time to buy the cable-car ticket. Because the supplied meeting information also gives Gotschnastrasse 19, confirm the exact meeting spot and time when you book.

You need to arrange your own transportation to the meeting point and pay for the cable car separately. The cable-car cost is listed as $35 per person. That extra fee is easy to overlook when comparing prices, so add $70 for a couple before deciding if the outing fits your budget.

Once you reach the launch area, the Alpine setting does much of the work. The takeoff point is described as being directly below the summit, which means you should not expect a long hike with the equipment. You still need enough fitness for a moderate physical activity, but this is not presented as a strenuous mountain trek.

What the preparation feels like

You do not simply show up and get pushed into the air. Your pilot explains the launch and landing process, reviews safety procedures, and stays with you throughout the flight. That structure makes the activity workable for first-time paragliders, not just people who already know how to handle a glider.

The preparation includes practice on the slope. One detailed account describes practicing the launch twice before the actual takeoff. That is useful because the start depends on following instructions and moving correctly with the glider. A calm, clear briefing can make the difference between feeling tense and feeling ready.

Helmets and gloves are available. You should still arrive in suitable outdoor clothing and shoes, since you will be in a mountain environment and conditions can change. The supplied information does not specify a clothing list, so avoid assuming that every personal item is provided.

The pilots also cover landing procedures. That matters as much as the flight itself. You will know what to expect at the end instead of trying to work it out while coming down.

The flight over Davos and Prättigau

The main reward is the view. From the air, you see the Swiss village of Klosters and the Prättigau region from a completely different angle. The route also offers views toward Davos, giving you a broad look at valleys, mountain slopes, and the built-up areas below.

A tandem paraglider moves at a gentler pace than a powered aircraft, so you have time to look around. You are not sealed behind a window. The open-air position makes the height feel real, while the pilot manages the glider and keeps the experience organized.

You may also get to steer. The description says passengers have the chance to guide the glider, which adds a small hands-on element to what could otherwise be a purely passenger-based ride. The pilot remains with you and controls the activity, so this is an introduction to the feel of paragliding rather than a solo lesson.

Thrilling maneuvers are also part of the experience. The exact maneuvers depend on conditions and the pilot, so you should not book this expecting a fixed stunt routine. If you want a calm scenic flight, tell the pilot what sort of experience you prefer. If you want more excitement, ask what is suitable that day.

The flight is especially well suited to a couple celebrating a birthday, anniversary, engagement, or another special occasion. Both of you are airborne together, rather than watching from the ground while the other person takes a turn. That shared timing gives the outing more emotional weight than a standard ride.

Why the photos and video matter

Photos and video are included, and that is one of the strongest practical features. During a tandem flight, you may be focused on instructions, holding your position, looking at the mountains, or simply trying to take in the height. Recording the experience yourself can be awkward and distracting.

The included media lets you stay present during the flight. It also gives you something concrete to take home from an expensive activity. The available information does not state the number of images, the video length, or the delivery method, so ask about those details before departure if they matter to you.

The photo and video package also helps couples. You can both appear in the record of the flight instead of one person staying behind to take pictures from the ground. For a celebration, that can add real value to the price.

Cost and the value for a couple

The listed price is $397.56 per person. For two people, that comes to $795.12 before the cable-car tickets, bringing the known total to about $865.12 for the pair. Transportation to and from the attractions is not included either.

That is a high price for a two-hour activity, so I would not describe it as a casual add-on. You are paying for tandem equipment, a pilot for each passenger, a private group arrangement, the mountain launch, and the included photos and video. The two-pilot format is important when you are comparing it with an activity where one person flies while the other waits.

The value makes the most sense if the flight is a major part of your time in Davos or Klosters. It makes less sense if you only want a quick look at the mountains or if the extra cable-car and transport costs will make the day stressful.

I also see value in the private format. Only your group participates, which gives you more direct attention from the pilots and avoids being folded into a large party. You are still dependent on weather, flight conditions, and the pilot’s judgment, but the setting feels more personal.

Timing the outing around your day

The activity lasts about two hours, but you should not treat that as two hours of continuous flight. The total time includes meeting, equipment, instruction, launch preparation, the flight, and landing arrangements. The actual time in the air is not stated.

Plan extra time around the activity for the cable car, meeting point, and transportation. If you have a dinner reservation or another fixed appointment, leave a generous buffer. Mountain activities do not always fit neatly into a city-style schedule, especially when weather can affect the start.

The cable-car detail is especially important. You need to buy that ticket yourself, and the meeting information indicates that you should arrive with enough time to do so. I would not arrive at the last minute with only a phone confirmation and expect the process to be instant.

The activity ends back at the meeting point. That makes planning easier after landing, since you do not need to arrange a separate pickup from an unknown location.

Safety, fitness, and passenger limits

A pilot accompanies you for the full tandem flight and explains the procedures before takeoff. That makes the activity accessible to beginners, provided you can follow instructions and manage the physical demands of the launch and landing.

You should have a moderate level of physical fitness. The supplied information does not define a medical standard, so anyone with concerns should ask the operator before booking. The activity is not recommended for children aged eight and under.

Passenger weight must be between 20 and 125 kilograms. That limit applies to the person flying, and you should check it before paying. The equipment and flight conditions determine whether the pilot can safely operate the glider.

Good weather is required. If poor weather cancels the experience, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. That policy protects you from losing the full price because of conditions outside your control, but it also means you should avoid placing an important event immediately after the flight.

For a regular cancellation, you can receive a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours ahead are not accepted for a refund.

Who should book this flight

I would choose this for a couple who wants one memorable activity rather than another ordinary mountain ride. It suits first-time paragliders who like the idea of flying but want a pilot, instruction, and equipment supplied.

It is also a strong choice for a celebration. The shared flight, two pilots, and included media create a complete experience rather than a simple ride. You can both enjoy the views at the same time and leave with photos and video.

I would think twice if you dislike heights, have limited mobility, fall outside the weight range, or need a guaranteed start time. The activity depends on weather, and the total cost is much higher once you include cable-car tickets and transportation.

Experienced paragliders can also enjoy it, but the appeal may be different. This is a tandem outing with a pilot, not a stated training session or independent flight. If you already fly, confirm what passenger steering and maneuvers will be available before booking.

Should you book the Klosters tandem flight?

Book it if you want a private, high-impact Alpine experience and can accept the price and weather risk. The strongest reasons are the two-passenger format, the pilot-led safety briefing, the chance to steer, and the included photos and video.

Skip it if you are seeking a low-cost way to see Davos, since the price is substantial and the cable car costs extra. For the right couple, though, this is a memorable way to mark a special day above Klosters, with both of you in the air instead of one person waiting below.
