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

Klosters paragliding puts you above the Swiss Alps with your partner flying beside you, not waiting on the ground for a turn. You get two pilots for two passengers, a useful setup for couples who want to share the moment rather than take separate flights.

I like the careful preparation, including launch practice, and the chance to help steer the glider once you are airborne. The main thing to budget for is the extra cable car ticket, listed at $35 per person, plus your own transport to the meeting point.

Key points to know before you book

• Two passengers fly at the same time: This is designed for couples and private groups who want to share the view together.
• Launch practice is part of the preparation: You rehearse the running start on the slope before the real takeoff.
• Davos and Prättigau views come from above: The flight begins high in the Alps and looks down toward Swiss villages and mountain valleys.
• Photos and video are included: You can keep a visual record of the flight without arranging a separate photographer.
• The cable car costs extra: Allow $35 per person for the ride up to the launch area.
• Weather controls the schedule: Poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.

Taking off above Klosters and Davos

The appeal here is simple: you run a few steps down an alpine slope, the wing catches air, and the ground begins to fall away. Instead of climbing a mountain only to look across at the next one, you get a moving view of the valleys, ridges, and villages below.

The flight takes place around Klosters, with views toward Davos and the Prättigau. Klosters is a Swiss village in the Prättigau region, and seeing it from the air gives you a different sense of its setting than a walk through town can provide.

This is tandem paragliding, so you sit in front of a trained pilot while the pilot manages the glider. You do not need previous paragliding experience. The activity is also suitable for experienced flyers, though the day is structured around a guided tandem flight rather than independent flying.

The scheduled outing lasts about two hours. That includes meeting, preparation, the cable car ride, walking or positioning at the launch site, safety instructions, the flight, and the return to the meeting point. The actual time in the air can depend on conditions, so do not treat the full two hours as airborne time.

Meeting near the Jakobshorn and Gotschnastrasse area

The stated meeting point is Gotschnastrasse 19, 7250 Klosters Platz. Practical flight information also places the rendezvous near the Jakobshornbahn at about 1:50 p.m. Because those details do not describe exactly the same spot, I would confirm the precise meeting location and time with Air-Davos Paragliding before setting out.

That small check matters. Cable car stations can be busy, and you do not want to be searching for the pilot while your departure window is approaching. Give yourself enough time to find the correct entrance, buy the required ticket, and reach the agreed meeting point.

The cable car ticket is not included and costs $35 per person. You also arrange your own transport to and from the attraction. The activity finishes back at the meeting point, so you can plan the rest of your day from there.

One useful detail from the flight arrangements is that the launch point is directly below the summit area, so there is not a long hike to the takeoff site. You still need to be comfortable walking on a mountain setting and following instructions on uneven ground, but this is not presented as a strenuous mountain trek.

Practicing the launch before you fly

Before you go into the air, the pilot explains the launch and landing process. You practice starting down the slope twice, which gives you a chance to learn the rhythm without the pressure of the real takeoff.

That preparation is one of the strongest parts of the activity. A tandem launch is not a jump from a cliff. You run with the pilot for a short distance while the wing rises behind you. The practice helps you understand when to move, when to keep running, and when to let the glider carry you.

You receive the required paragliding equipment, including the flight gear. Helmets and gloves are available, according to the detailed flight notes. You should still dress for a mountain outing and bring clothing that allows you to move easily, since the temperature and wind can feel different above the village.

The pilots are with you throughout the activity. They explain safety procedures, guide the launch, control the glider, and manage the landing. You are not left to work out the technical parts by yourself.

A flight for two, with room to participate

The format works especially well for a couple. Two pilots take two passengers up at the same time, so you can see each other in the air and share the excitement as it happens. That is more satisfying than taking turns and trying to describe the view afterward.

The activity is private, meaning only your group participates. For a special occasion, that gives the outing a more personal feel than a large mixed group. It also means the practical questions and pace are focused on your party.

Once you are airborne, you see the Swiss Alps from a broad, open viewpoint. The route provides views over Davos, Klosters, and the Prättigau area. You may also be offered the chance to steer the glider under the pilot’s direction.

The flight can include thrilling maneuvers. These are part of the fun, but you should tell the pilot if you are nervous or prone to motion sickness. The supplied information confirms that maneuvers may take place, but it does not promise a particular sequence or level of intensity. Your pilot remains the person who decides what is suitable for the conditions and the passenger.

The launch site and the village below

The first setting is a high alpine launch area. The appeal is not just the height. You get a close look at the practical side of the sport: the wing being prepared, the slope used for takeoff, and the careful coordination between pilot and passenger.

The launch location is described as being close to the summit and below the top station, which limits the amount of walking after the cable car ride. That is helpful if you are excited but not keen on a long approach with flight equipment.

The second view is the Swiss village and valley of the Prättigau. From the air, the village pattern and roads become part of the larger mountain setting. You see how the communities fit into the valley rather than simply viewing one street or square at ground level.

Davos is another major visual reward. The broad view is a strong reason to choose this activity over a standard cable car ride. A mountain platform gives you a fixed panorama, while paragliding lets you move through the view and change your angle as the glider travels.

Photos, video, and the value of the price

The listed price is $397.56 per person. That is a serious spend, especially after adding the $35 cable car ticket per person and any transport costs. For two people, the core price comes to $795.12 before the cable car ride.

I would judge the price against what is included, not just the flight length. You receive a tandem pilot, equipment, preparation, a private experience for your group, and photos and video. The image package matters because it lets you focus on the flight instead of trying to hold a phone or asking someone else to document the moment.

It is still not a low-cost way to see the Alps. If your goal is simply a panoramic view, a cable car and mountain walk cost less and give you more control over how long you stay. If your goal is an occasion built around excitement, a shared flight, and lasting footage, the price is easier to justify.

The included photos and video are particularly useful for birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, or a first-time flight together. The image quality and number of files are not specified, so I would ask the provider what you will receive and how the material is delivered.

Who will enjoy this most

This activity suits couples who want a memorable event rather than a quiet sightseeing stop. It also fits first-time flyers who like the idea of an adventure but want a pilot handling the technical work.

You need a moderate level of physical fitness. The launch involves practicing and running down a slope, and you must be able to follow instructions during takeoff and landing. The activity is not recommended for children aged eight and under.

Passenger weight must be between 20 and 125 kilograms. If you are close to either limit, confirm your eligibility before paying. The supplied details do not give a separate height limit or a list of medical restrictions, so direct questions to the provider are sensible if you have a health concern.

This is not the best pick for someone who dislikes heights, feels uneasy with open-air movement, or wants a completely predictable ride. The flight is weather-dependent, and the possibility of aerial maneuvers adds excitement but may not suit every passenger.

Weather, timing, and the practical tradeoffs

Paragliding needs suitable weather. If conditions are poor, the flight can be canceled and you will be offered another date or a full refund. That protection is useful, but it means you should avoid scheduling the flight as the one fixed event that everything else depends on.

I would book it early enough in your stay to leave room for a weather change. That way, a canceled flight may be moved to another day instead of disappearing from your itinerary. The local cut-off time applies to cancellations and changes.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours before the activity are not refunded or accepted. The same 24-hour rule applies according to the local time of the experience.

The mobile ticket makes access simple once your meeting details are confirmed. It does not remove the need to arrange the cable car ticket or transport. Treat those as separate parts of the plan.

Air-Davos Paragliding and the pilot-led format

Air-Davos Paragliding provides the pilot and equipment. The format is reassuring for beginners because the pilot stays with you from the briefing through landing, rather than handing you a set of instructions and sending you off alone.

The flight notes describe the pilots as punctual and friendly, with helmets and gloves available. That practical touch matters more than fancy presentation. You want a calm person beside you when you are learning the launch routine and preparing to leave the slope.

You should expect the pilot to explain the basic procedures clearly, then guide you through practice. Ask questions before takeoff if you are unsure about the running start, the landing position, or the planned maneuvers.

Because only your group takes part, you can raise those concerns without feeling rushed by a bus full of people. The private format is one of the better reasons to choose this particular outing for a special day.

Should you book the Klosters flight for two?

Book it if you want a shared Alpine adventure, can handle the running launch, and are happy to pay a premium for a private tandem flight with photos and video. The simultaneous flights make it especially good for couples celebrating something important.

Think twice if you want a cheap mountain panorama, dislike heights, or need a guaranteed departure time. The cable car is extra, the weather can change the plan, and the flight may include maneuvers.

For the right pair, this is more than a view from a platform. You prepare together, leave the mountain together, and look down on Klosters, Prättigau, and Davos from an angle you cannot get on foot. Confirm the meeting point, leave room for weather changes, and the experience has the makings of a memorable highlight.
