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

The most memorable part of this Klosters outing is simple: you and your partner fly at the same time, each with a pilot, high above the Prättigau and Davos area. You get mountain views from a bird’s-eye seat, not from behind a cable-car window.

I like two things here. First, the pilots walk you through the start and landing, then let you try the controls if conditions allow. Second, the package includes photos and video, a useful touch when your hands and attention are busy in the air. The main consideration is cost: at $397.56 per person, you also pay about $35 per person for the cable car, and transport to the meeting point is not included.

Key points to know before you book

• Two passengers fly together: You and your partner are in the air at the same time with two pilots.
• The launch is near the summit: The flight begins at a high alpine launch area, with little walking reported from the cable-car arrival point.
• Photos and video are included: You leave with visual memories of the flight, not just a story to tell.
• Beginners are welcome: A briefing covers takeoff, landing, and safety, while the pilot stays with you throughout.
• You may steer and try maneuvers: The flight can include basic passenger control and more thrilling turns, depending on conditions.
• Weather controls the schedule: Poor weather can lead to a new date or a full refund.

Taking off above Klosters and Davos

This is not a sightseeing ride with a little extra altitude. Tandem paragliding puts you in an open-air glider, seated with a trained pilot, while the mountain air carries you away from the launch slope. For a couple, the shared timing adds something special. You are not waiting at the bottom while your partner takes a turn. Both of you take off, fly, and land as part of the same private activity.

The setting is the Prättigau, a Swiss valley area around Klosters, with Davos nearby. From above, you can expect broad views of alpine peaks, the Swiss village below, and the surrounding slopes. The exact view and flight pattern depend on weather and flying conditions, so I would treat the scenery as the main promise, not a fixed route.

The experience lasts about two hours from meeting point to return. That time includes preparation and the cable-car transfer to the launch area, not two continuous hours in the air. The actual flight length can vary with conditions, so do not compare this with a two-hour airborne charter.

Meeting at Gotschnastrasse 19 in Klosters Platz

The stated meeting point is Gotschnastrasse 19, 7250 Klosters Platz, Switzerland. The activity ends back at this same meeting point, which makes the plan easier than an excursion that leaves you at a separate landing site.

You need to arrange your own transportation to the meeting point. The experience does not include travel to or from attractions, so build that into your day, especially if you are staying in Davos rather than Klosters. A mobile ticket is provided, and booking confirmation arrives at the time of reservation.

Practical timing matters. The meeting area is close to the Jakobshorn cable-car area according to the supplied trip details, and one useful schedule note places the meeting at 1:50 p.m. That gave passengers time to buy the separate cable-car ticket before heading up. I would still arrive early, since this is not the sort of activity where you want to solve ticketing and directions at the last minute.

The cable-car ride costs about $35 per person and is not part of the advertised price. That extra charge is easy to miss when comparing tours. Add it to the $397.56 per-person activity cost, plus your own transport, before deciding if the total fits your budget.

Riding the cable car to the alpine launch site

The ride up is part of the practical route to the flight, not a separate sightseeing stop. Once you reach the upper station, the launch point is described as being directly below the summit area, with no long walk to the takeoff slope. That is helpful if you are carrying a day bag or simply want to keep the preflight routine calm.

The launch site itself is the first major highlight. You are in a high alpine setting, looking out across the mountains before you even leave the ground. This is where the experience shifts from a normal cable-car outing to an active flight.

Your pilot provides the paragliding equipment and explains the process. Helmets and gloves were available for the flight, and the preparation included practicing the running start on the slope twice. That rehearsal matters. Tandem takeoff is not a sit-down procedure. You need to follow the pilot’s instructions and move with the glider as it catches air.

For many first-time passengers, the start is the part that causes the most nerves. The practice runs let you learn the rhythm before the real attempt. You should expect a briefing about safety, takeoff, and landing, with the pilot accompanying you for the full flight.

The tandem flight for two passengers

You and your partner each fly with a separate pilot. The result is a private experience for your group rather than a large shared excursion. You can look across at each other in the air, though your attention will likely be split between the scenery, the glider, and the feeling of leaving the slope.

Beginners can take part, and experienced paragliders can also join. You do not need previous flying experience, since the pilot manages the equipment and the flight. At the same time, this is not a passive amusement ride. You need a moderate level of physical fitness, particularly for the short running start and the landing.

Once airborne, the pilot guides the glider over the mountain area. If conditions permit, you may get a chance to steer. That does not mean you take over the flight, but it can make the experience more active and personal. The pilot remains responsible for the glider and the route.

Thrilling maneuvers may also be part of the flight. These are a bonus, not a guarantee. Wind, safety, and the pilot’s judgment come first. If you want gentle sightseeing, say so. If you want more movement, ask what is suitable on the day. A good tandem flight should match the passenger’s comfort level rather than follow a fixed stunt routine.

The views are the central reward. You can see the alpine surroundings of Davos and the Prättigau from a perspective that walking trails and cable cars cannot provide. The nearby village below helps you understand the scale of the valley, while the open air gives you a clear sense of the slopes and ridgelines around Klosters.

Landing, photos, and the return to Klosters

The activity includes the return to the meeting point, so you do not need to arrange a separate pickup after landing. Your pilot explains the landing procedure as part of the safety briefing, and you should follow the instructions closely during the final approach.

The package also includes photos and video. This is one of the better extras for a paragliding flight. You cannot easily photograph yourself while managing a running start, looking around, and responding to the pilot. The included images give you something concrete from the experience, especially if you are marking a birthday, anniversary, or other special occasion.

The supplied details point to a generous number of photos and videos. Exact quantity and delivery method are not specified, so check the current arrangements when booking. The important point is that visual records are included rather than sold as a separate add-on.

After the landing, the activity ends back at the starting meeting point. That makes it easier to continue with dinner or another Klosters plan, though you should leave room for weather-related delays. Mountain flying does not run like a train timetable.

What the $397.56 price really includes

The listed price is $397.56 per person. For two people, that is $795.12 before the cable car, local transport, meals, or any other day expenses. The price includes the tandem paragliding ride, pilot, and use of the required paragliding equipment. It also includes photos and video, which improves the value compared with a flight where every image costs extra.

The separate cable-car fee of about $35 per person adds roughly $70 for a couple. That brings the core cost to about $865.12 for two, before getting to Klosters and returning afterward. This is a premium activity, not a low-cost way to see the Swiss Alps.

I think the price makes the most sense for a couple who specifically wants a shared adventure and values the private format. Two pilots, two passengers, included equipment, and included media are meaningful features. If your main goal is simply to enjoy a mountain view, a cable-car ride or viewpoint will cost much less. If you want the sensation of flight and a memorable event for two, the higher price has a clearer purpose.

Who will enjoy this flight most

This suits couples celebrating a special occasion, especially if you want a stronger memory than a restaurant meal or standard sightseeing stop. It also works well for two friends or family members who are comfortable with a little excitement and want to fly together.

You do not need to be an experienced paraglider. The pilot stays with you, and the activity includes an explanation of safety, takeoff, and landing. You should, however, have moderate physical fitness and be ready to participate in the takeoff and landing process.

The stated passenger weight range is 20 to 125 kilograms. Children aged eight and under are not recommended. The information does not give a separate minimum age above that, so families with older children should confirm suitability before booking.

This is a poor match if you need a guaranteed departure time, dislike heights, or want a fully indoor backup plan. The experience requires good weather. If conditions are not safe, the operator offers another date or a full refund.

Small details that can make the day easier

Wear practical clothing suitable for an alpine setting. The supplied information confirms that helmets and gloves are available, but it does not specify a full clothing list, so do not assume the operator provides every personal item you need.

Keep your schedule flexible around the two-hour activity. The cable-car connection and mountain weather can affect timing, and the flight itself is not described as a fixed-length route. Avoid booking a tight dinner reservation immediately afterward.

Bring only what you need to the launch area. The activity is active, and loose belongings can be awkward during the start. Since photos and video are included, you can focus on the flight instead of trying to hold a phone in the air.

The pilots are described as punctual and friendly, and the preparation includes repeated practice starts. Those details suggest a calm, organized approach, which is exactly what you want before leaving the ground. Pilot names are not provided, so you should not expect to select a particular pilot when booking.

Booking, weather, and cancellation terms

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the local start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours ahead are not refunded, and changes inside that window are not accepted.

Weather is the key exception. If poor conditions force a cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. This policy is useful for a mountain activity, but it does not remove the need to keep your schedule flexible. Check the forecast before setting out, then confirm the operator’s arrangements if conditions look uncertain.

The activity is private, meaning only your own group participates. That gives you more control over the pace and comfort level than a large group outing. It does not mean the flight can ignore weather or safety limits.

Should you book this Klosters paragliding flight?

I would book it if you want a shared alpine adventure for two, not simply another mountain viewpoint. The strongest reasons are the simultaneous flights, private format, patient preflight practice, and included photos and video. The chance to steer and try more exciting maneuvers adds flexibility, as long as the conditions and your comfort level allow it.

I would pause if the total cost feels high after adding the cable car and transport. You also need moderate fitness, a tolerance for heights, and a flexible schedule because weather can change the plan.

For an anniversary, birthday, or once-in-a-trip Swiss Alps experience, this is a compelling choice. For a budget-conscious day in Klosters, take the cable car, enjoy the view, and save your money. The right decision comes down to whether you want to look at the mountains or fly over them.
