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

The thrill here is simple: you and your partner leave a mountainside together, then float above Klosters and the Davos area with two pilots guiding the gliders. I especially like the shared flight and the fact that photos and videos are included, so you can keep your hands free for the views. The main drawback is the added cable-car cost, plus the need for good weather and a moderate level of fitness.

This is a private activity for your group, not a large commercial outing. You receive a full briefing, practice the launch, and stay with a pilot from takeoff through landing. It is a strong pick for a birthday, anniversary, or simply a day when you want something more memorable than another mountain viewpoint.

Key points to know before you book

• You fly at the same time: Two passengers go up with two pilots, making this especially suited to couples.
• The meeting point is in Klosters Platz: Start at Gotschnastrasse 19, near the Jakobshorn cable-car area.
• The cable car costs extra: Budget about $35 per person for the ride to the launch area.
• Launch practice is part of the preparation: You will rehearse the takeoff on the slope before the real flight.
• Photos and videos are included: You can focus on the scenery instead of trying to record the whole flight.
• Weight and fitness rules apply: Passengers must weigh between 20 and 125 kilograms and have moderate physical fitness.

Leaving Klosters behind on a tandem glider

Paragliding gives you a different view of the Swiss Alps. You do not look at the mountains from a train window or a crowded summit platform. You run a few steps down a slope, feel the glider catch the air, and then rise above the valleys with a pilot handling the flight.

For couples, the setup has a real advantage. Two passengers fly at the same time with two separate pilots. You are not taking turns while one person waits on the ground. That shared timing makes the activity feel like a joint occasion, especially if you are marking a special date.

The experience lasts about two hours in total. That includes meeting the pilots, getting equipment, receiving instructions, riding up toward the launch area, practicing the takeoff, flying, and returning to the starting point. The actual time in the air can depend on conditions, so treat the two-hour figure as the full activity window rather than a guaranteed flight length.

You do not need previous paragliding experience. The pilots explain how to launch and land, and they remain with you throughout the flight. Experienced paragliders can enjoy the scenery and the freedom of the ride, while first-timers get a controlled introduction to the sport.

Meeting near the Jakobshorn cable car

Your starting point is Gotschnastrasse 19, 7250 Klosters Platz, Switzerland. The practical detail matters here: you need to arrive in Klosters and make your own way to the meeting point. Transportation to and from the attractions is not included.

A useful tip is to allow extra time before the arranged meeting hour. The cable-car ticket is separate and costs about $35 per person. One of the shared practical details from this outing is that the meeting area is close to the Jakobshornbahn, giving you time to buy the ticket before heading uphill.

That extra ticket changes the true price of the activity. At $397.56 per person, the booking is already a major splurge. Add roughly $35 per person for the cable car, and you are paying for a premium Alpine activity rather than a casual afternoon attraction. Still, the cost includes the tandem flight, pilot, equipment, photos, and videos. For a couple celebrating something important, that bundle can make more sense than paying separately for a scenic flight and a professional photo package.

The activity ends back at the meeting point. You do not need to arrange a separate return transfer from the landing area, but you do need to plan your way to and from Klosters.

Reaching the launch site above Prättigau

The ride uphill takes you into an alpine setting with broad views over the Prättigau and the Davos area. The launch point is positioned close to the upper station, so you should not expect a long mountain hike before takeoff. That is good news if you want the mountain experience without turning the day into a strenuous trek.

The launch area itself is part of the attraction. You get a clear sense of the slope, the wind, and the open air before leaving the ground. The pilots provide helmets and gloves, according to the details shared about the activity, and explain what you need to do.

Takeoff is not a blind leap. You practice starting on the slope twice before the flight. The basic task is to follow the pilot’s instructions and run when told, allowing the canopy to fill with air. This rehearsal is valuable for first-timers because it replaces some of the mystery with a simple sequence of steps.

You still need enough balance and mobility to walk or run on the slope. That is why the operator asks for moderate physical fitness. You should also be prepared for mountain conditions and wear practical clothing and shoes suitable for moving around outdoors.

The flight over Davos and Klosters

Once airborne, the pace changes. The noise and effort of takeoff give way to a quiet ride over the valleys. You can look across the Swiss Alpine scenery, down toward the villages, and over the wider Davos area.

The Prättigau village setting gives the flight a strong sense of place. You are not simply suspended above an anonymous valley. You can see the relationship between the small settlements, mountain slopes, and high launch points that shape this part of Switzerland.

The pilots stay with you for the whole flight. They manage the glider and explain what is happening, leaving you free to watch the view. If conditions permit, you may get the chance to steer the glider yourself. That small taste of control can turn the flight from a scenic ride into a more active introduction to paragliding.

You may also enjoy some thrilling maneuvers. The wording here is important: the activity offers the chance for lively turns, but the exact flight style depends on the conditions and the pilot. If you prefer a calm scenic flight, tell the pilot. If you want more action, you can ask what is suitable on the day.

The included photos and videos add real value. A tandem flight gives you limited opportunity to take pictures safely and enjoyably, especially during launch and landing. Having the pilots capture the occasion means you can keep your attention on the valley below and still return home with a record of the flight.

Why this works well for couples

Many adventure activities divide a couple’s attention. One person rides while the other watches, or you take turns with a guide. This outing avoids that problem. You and your partner fly at the same time with two pilots, giving you a shared view of the event from the air.

You may not be able to talk normally while flying, and you will have separate pilots, but the shared start and finish create a common memory. The photos and videos are also useful here. They preserve the moment for both of you instead of leaving one person on the ground holding the camera.

The activity is particularly well suited to a birthday, anniversary, honeymoon, or proposal trip, although you should handle any proposal plans directly with the operator. The published details support the idea of a special occasion, but they do not promise custom arrangements.

The private format is another plus. Only your group participates, so you are not sharing the flight with a large crowd. That does not mean you control every part of the schedule, since mountain weather always matters, but it does give the outing a more personal feel.

Safety, fitness, and weather rules

A pilot accompanies each passenger, and safety procedures are explained before takeoff. You also practice launching, which helps you understand how to move with the glider instead of reacting at the last second.

The stated passenger weight range is 20 to 125 kilograms. This is not a minor detail. Paragliding equipment and flight performance depend on the passenger’s weight, so check the limit before booking.

The activity is not recommended for children aged eight and under. The information does not give a minimum age above that point, so families with older children should confirm suitability before reserving.

Good weather is required. Wind, rain, cloud, and other mountain conditions can affect the flight. If poor weather forces a cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. This makes the activity easier to book in advance, but you should avoid placing it on the final few hours of your entire Swiss trip.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that window are not accepted for a refund. The cut-off follows local Swiss time.

Is the $397.56 price worthwhile?

At $397.56 per person, this is expensive. After the separate $35 cable-car ticket, a couple is spending more than $800 before accounting for transport to Klosters. You should view it as a special-event purchase, not a standard sightseeing ticket.

The price includes the pilot, tandem equipment, the private group setup, and the flight itself. Photos and videos are included too, which helps justify part of the cost. You are paying for a guided activity with professional equipment and a memorable setting, not just access to a viewpoint.

Value depends on what you want from your time in Davos. If you only want mountain views, a cable car and walking route will cost much less. If you want an active experience that you cannot easily recreate at home, the expense becomes easier to defend.

I would also factor in the weather risk. A flexible schedule gives you a better chance of flying, while a fixed booking near the end of your holiday creates more pressure. Book this for a day when you can move it if needed.

Who should book this Klosters flight?

I would recommend it to couples who enjoy heights, outdoor activities, and memorable splurges. It also suits first-time paragliders who want a pilot to manage the technical side while still giving them a chance to steer.

You should be comfortable with a short running start and mountain access. If you have limited mobility, dislike heights, or want a completely passive ride, this may not be the right choice.

The activity also works for an active pair with different experience levels. One person can be a complete beginner while the other has tried paragliding before. Both receive their own pilot and equipment, so you do not need to match skill levels.

I would skip it if the price would make you anxious, if your schedule cannot handle a weather change, or if you want a guaranteed long flight at a fixed hour. Mountain flying has limits that no operator can remove.

My booking advice

Book this Klosters tandem flight if you want the Alps to be the main event rather than a backdrop. The strongest reasons are the simultaneous flight for two, the private format, the included photos and videos, and the careful preparation before takeoff.

Plan for the cable-car charge, arrive early at Gotschnastrasse 19, and leave room in your schedule for weather. If you can accept those conditions and the high price, this is a memorable way to see Davos and the Prättigau from above.
