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

The Alps look different from above. This Klosters tandem flight gives couples a rare shared adventure, with two pilots taking you up together above the Prättigau and Davos area. I like the private format, since only your group takes part, and I like the practical safety setup, including a briefing, practice starts, helmets, and gloves. The main drawback is cost: at $397.56 per person, plus about $35 each for the cable car, this is a major splurge.

You meet near the Jakobshornbahn area in Klosters Platz, then ride up to the launch area before taking off from an alpine setting close to the summit. I also like that photos and video are included, so you are not forced to choose between enjoying the flight and trying to record it yourself. Weather remains the great unknown, and poor conditions can cancel the flight.

Key points before you book

• Two passengers fly at the same time, making this a strong choice for couples marking a birthday, anniversary, or other special occasion.
• The launch is close to the upper station, so you should not face a long walk to the takeoff point after the cable-car ride.
• A safety briefing and practice starts come first, which helps first-time flyers know what to do with their feet and body.
• Davos and the Prättigau appear from the air, giving you a broad view that is very different from a valley walk or mountain train ride.
• Photos and video are included, adding real value to a pricey outing.
• You need to budget for the cable car, which costs an additional $35 per person and is not included in the tour price.

Why this Klosters flight is worth considering

Paragliding can sound like an activity reserved for thrill seekers. This outing is designed to be more approachable. You do not need to control the glider from the start, and you do not need previous paragliding experience. Your pilot handles the flight, explains the process, and stays with you from preparation through landing.

That makes the activity suitable for a first flight, while experienced paragliders can still enjoy the height, scenery, and chance to steer. The ride also includes some thrilling maneuvers, but the exact style and intensity depend on the pilot, weather, and conditions that day.

For couples, the biggest appeal is timing. You and your partner go up at the same time with two pilots instead of taking turns from the ground. You can share the preparation, launch, flight, and landing as part of one private booking. That shared element matters, especially when the flight is meant to mark a special event.

The outing lasts about two hours, though the actual time in the air is only part of that period. You need time for meeting, riding the cable car, receiving instructions, practicing the launch, preparing equipment, and returning to the meeting point. Do not schedule a tight train connection or dinner reservation immediately afterward.

Meeting at Klosters Platz and riding toward the launch

The meeting point is at Gotschnastrasse 19 in Klosters Platz, Switzerland. The activity ends at the same meeting point, which simplifies the day and means you do not need to arrange a separate return transfer from the landing area.

The practical starting point is close to the Jakobshornbahn. One useful timing detail is that the meeting has been set around 1:50 p.m. for some departures, leaving enough time to buy the cable-car ticket before heading upward. Since the ride costs about $35 per person and is not included, plan for that extra purchase before the flight.

You should confirm the exact meeting time on your booking confirmation. The experience provides a mobile ticket, so keeping the confirmation easy to reach on your phone is sensible. Transportation to and from the attractions is not included, so you are responsible for getting to Klosters Platz.

The cable-car ride is part of the practical flow, not a minor footnote. You need it to reach the launch area, and its cost pushes the real price of the experience above the advertised per-person amount. For two people, the paragliding price is about $795.12 before the additional cable-car charge, bringing the combined total to roughly $865.12.

Preparing on the alpine takeoff site

At the upper area, the launch site sits close to the summit, with little walking needed before takeoff. That is helpful if you are carrying a day bag or are uneasy about hiking on steep ground. The setting itself is a major part of the outing, with mountain views before you even leave the slope.

Your pilot explains how the launch and landing work. You should expect simple instructions about body position, timing, and when to run. The preparation is not just a formal speech. It gives you a clear job to do, which can settle nerves before the glider lifts.

Two practice starts on the slope have been part of the preparation. This is one of the most useful details for beginners. You can rehearse the movement before the real takeoff instead of trying to understand everything in the final seconds.

Helmets and gloves are provided. The supplied information does not list every clothing requirement, so you should dress for an alpine setting and changing temperatures without assuming the flight operator supplies a full outfit. You also need a moderate level of physical fitness. The activity includes movement on the launch slope and requires you to follow instructions during takeoff and landing.

The takeoff: a short run with a big payoff

Tandem paragliding does not begin with a jump from a cliff. You and your pilot prepare the glider, follow the instructions, and run from the slope as the canopy catches air. The practice starts should make this process clearer, especially if it is your first time.

Your two-person booking means two pilots accompany the pair, allowing both passengers to fly at the same time. That is a better setup for couples than an activity where one person waits below while the other flies. You can share the moment in the air, though each passenger remains attached to and guided by their own pilot.

The first few seconds may feel intense because you are moving from solid ground into open air. After that, the experience becomes more about sitting back, looking around, and taking in the views. Your pilot remains responsible for the glider, while you follow directions and enjoy the flight.

The operator describes the activity as suitable for beginners and experienced paragliders. If you already know the basics, you may get the chance to steer. If you are new to the sport, that option does not mean you are left to manage the flight alone. The pilot accompanies you throughout.

Looking down over Davos and the Prättigau

The main scenic reward is the view from above. From the launch area, you can look toward Davos and across the Swiss village setting of the Prättigau. The aerial perspective changes your sense of scale: roads, slopes, villages, and mountain ridges become part of one wide picture.

I would choose this activity for the views as much as for the flight itself. A mountain train gives you a strong view from a fixed route, while a paraglider gives you time to look in different directions. The setting is especially appealing if you have already spent time walking around Davos and want a very different way to see the area.

The exact view depends on weather and flight conditions. On a clear day, the broad outlook should be the star. Clouds, wind, or changing visibility can limit what you see, and poor weather may prevent the flight altogether. This is not a flaw in the operator’s planning. Paragliding depends on conditions that must be safe.

Some passengers may prefer gentle sightseeing, while others want more movement. The flight can include thrilling maneuvers, so tell your pilot how much excitement you want. The available information does not promise a fixed set of stunts, which is useful to remember if you are booking mainly for calm photographs.

Photos, video, and the value of the price

At $397.56 per person, this is not a casual add-on. For a couple, the base price is about $795.12. Add the stated cable-car cost of $35 per person, and the total reaches roughly $865.12 before any other personal spending.

The included photos and video help explain the premium. You receive more than the flight itself: equipment, a pilot, the safety preparation, and a record of the experience. The amount and format of the media are not specified, so I would not book assuming a particular number of images or a specific editing style.

Still, the media is useful. Paragliding is hard to photograph from the air when you are busy listening to instructions and looking at the mountains. Having images and video included means you can focus on the flight instead of holding a phone or asking your partner to document everything.

The cost makes the most sense for a milestone occasion or for a couple that values a shared mountain adventure more than a standard sightseeing activity. If you are simply looking for a low-cost way to see Davos, the price will feel steep. If you want an unusual memory and like the idea of flying together, the package offers more than a basic scenic ride.

Who will enjoy this most

I would recommend the activity to couples who want to do the same high-energy experience at the same time. It also suits visitors who are comfortable following instructions, moving on a slope, and accepting that weather can alter the plan.

The weight range is 20 to 125 kilograms per passenger. Children aged eight and under are not recommended. The minimum and maximum weight rules should be checked carefully for every person in your group before booking.

You do not need to be an experienced paraglider. The pilot-led format makes this accessible to beginners, and the practice starts give you a useful rehearsal. Experienced flyers may appreciate the chance to steer, but the activity remains a tandem flight rather than an independent paragliding session.

This is a private activity, so only your group participates. That suits couples who want a more personal outing and do not want strangers sharing the same booking. It also means the experience is focused on your pair, with two pilots managing the flight.

What can go wrong, and how to plan around it

Weather is the main risk. If conditions are poor, the flight can be canceled, with the choice of another date or a full refund. That protection is helpful, but it does not prevent a disrupted holiday schedule. Keep some flexibility in your Davos plans and avoid placing this activity on the last possible morning before departure.

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 ahead are not accepted for a refund, and the cut-off follows local time.

The cable-car expense is another planning point. Since it is not included, set aside about $70 for two people. Transportation to and from the attractions is also your responsibility, so allow time to reach Gotschnastrasse 19 in Klosters Platz.

Finally, do not mistake a two-hour booking for two hours of airborne sightseeing. Preparation and transport take part of the time. That is normal for tandem flying, but it matters if you are fitting the activity into a busy day.

Is this Klosters paragliding flight right for you?

Book it if you want a shared couple’s adventure, appreciate wide mountain views, and are comfortable paying a premium for a short but memorable activity. The strongest reasons are the two-pilot format, practice starts, included photos and video, and the chance to see Davos from the air.

Skip it if your budget is tight, your schedule cannot handle a weather change, or you prefer quiet sightseeing with firm start and finish times. For everyone else, this is a well-focused way to add real excitement to a Davos visit, with enough instruction to make a first flight feel manageable.
