Two wings, one shared view. In Klosters, tandem paragliding for couples turns a normal Davos day into an honest-to-goodness adrenaline hit, with pilots who guide you from the first briefing to landing. I like the way the experience is built for real moments together, since you and your partner go up at the same time, each with a pilot, and you get hands-on coaching while you’re in the air.

What I really love is the mix of safety-first instruction and actual fun: you get a detailed briefing (launch and landing included), you practice the start on the hang, and you’re invited to steer the glider and experience thrilling maneuvers. One thing to plan around is that you may need a cable car ticket to reach the launch area, and the whole flight depends on good weather—so if conditions are poor, your experience shifts to another date or you get a full refund.

Key highlights worth prioritizing

• Two-pilot tandem setup for couples: you fly together at the same time, each guided by your own pilot.
• Safety briefing plus hands-on practice: you’re shown launch and landing procedures and you’ll practice starts.
• Davos aerial views: you’ll look down on Davos from above, with amazing perspective.
• You can steer and try maneuvers: it’s not only passive sightseeing.
• Video and photos included: you’ll have footage to remember the flight beyond just a few shaky shots.
• Private experience for your group: it’s just your pair, not a mixed group crowd situation.

Tandem Paragliding in Klosters: Why Couples Love This Format

Klosters (near Davos) is a smart place to do paragliding because the scenery gives you big-time views without turning the day into a hike-fest. This tour is designed around the couple experience: you don’t just go solo one after another. You go up together, while pilots stay with you the whole time. That matters. It means you can actually share the experience in real time—watching your partner take off, react during the flight, and land safely.

The tandem structure is also why beginners usually feel comfortable. Your pilot handles the complex stuff, but you’re still invited into the fun. From the briefing onward, you’re treated like a participant, not a passenger who just sits there. The goal is: you understand what’s happening, then you get moments where you’re actively steering and enjoying the ride.

And for special occasions, this format hits a sweet spot. It feels big and memorable, but you’re not locked into something complicated or risky to plan. It’s a clear “we did something bold together” day.

Meeting at Gotschnastrasse 19 and Getting to the Launch

The meeting point is Gotschnastrasse 19, 7250 Klosters Platz, and the activity ends back there. In practice, plan to show up on time because the launch window can be weather-driven.

There’s also a key detail for value and timing: the experience does not include the cable car ticket (listed as 35 USD per person). One review noted the meeting point is directly below the Jakobshornbahn, and that arriving early helps you buy the cable car ticket without rushing. So build your schedule around that: you want enough slack to get that ticket and get moving toward the start.

Total time is about 2 hours (approx.). That’s not “half a day” planning. It’s a realistic activity you can pair with a morning or afternoon plan in Davos. Just remember: weather is the boss here. If conditions aren’t safe for flight, you won’t be flying that day.

What Happens Before You Fly: Briefing, Gear, and Practice Starts

This experience is safety-forward, and you can feel it in the flow of the day. You’ll get a detailed briefing about launch and landing procedures, and your pilot stays with you throughout. You’re not left guessing. Even if you’ve never done anything like this, the start process is explained so you know what you’re responsible for versus what your pilot manages.

Gear is also handled for you. You get use of the paragliding equipment, including helmets and gloves (so you’re not scrambling for the right “adventure gear” before arriving). That’s a comfort and value win.

Then comes the part that makes a big difference for confidence: practice starts. One review described doing the start practice on the hang twice before going up for real. That kind of repetition helps. It turns a scary-sounding moment into something familiar, like learning the motions before the actual performance.

Expect a moderate physical requirement. You don’t need to be an athlete, but you should be ready for the physical effort that goes with being at an alpine launch site and moving into position.

The Flight Over Davos: Steering, Maneuvers, and Getting the Photos Right

Once you’re airborne, this is where the day turns into pure view-power. You’ll see incredible aerial views of Davos, and you’ll get a perspective that’s hard to replicate any other way in the region. It’s not just looking around—paragliding changes your sense of scale. Roads become lines, buildings shrink into patterns, and the mountains stop feeling like a backdrop and start feeling like a giant 3D system around you.

This tour isn’t strictly sightseeing, either. You’ll have opportunities to steer the glider, and you’ll experience thrilling maneuvers. The difference between a passive ride and a guided ride is huge. When you can influence the controls (even in a guided, tandem way), the flight feels more personal—and you remember it longer.

Then there’s the photo and video piece. The tour title includes video and photos, and the feedback you have points to enough photo/video output to actually enjoy reliving the moment. That’s important because paragliding moves fast. The better your visuals, the less you’ll worry you missed something while you were busy reacting.

If you’re the couple type that doesn’t usually document everything, this is still worth it. You get footage that captures the flight without needing you both to perform for a camera while you’re busy thinking, Wow—this is happening.

The Second Phase Over Prättigau: The View Shift You’ll Feel

After the takeoff and main flight experience, you’ll spend time gliding toward the experience’s second highlight: a Swiss village in the Prättigau area. Even without a stop-by-stop walking schedule, this matters because it gives you a change of scenery while you’re still in the air.

Why does that matter to your day? Because it keeps the flight from feeling one-note. A single “look down at mountains” moment can be stunning, then over. A shift to a village view adds texture—human scale, rooftops, roads, and the kind of detail you just can’t see the same way from ground level.

You’ll also get the landing experience right at the end, after the flight portion. The pilots handle landing procedures as part of the briefing and your in-air guidance. Your job is mainly to stay calm, follow instructions, and enjoy the ride while it’s happening.

Price and Value: Is $397.56 Per Person Reasonable?

At $397.56 per person for tandem paragliding for two, the sticker price is real. But value is about what’s included and what you get out of the time.

Here’s what you’re paying for in practical terms:

• A tandem paragliding ride with a pilot (you’re not doing this solo)
• Equipment use
• The full guided experience time (around 2 hours)
• Video and photos included (based on the experience title and the way riders describe the output)
• A couple-friendly setup where you go up at the same time

What you’re not paying for:

• Cable car ticket (35 USD/person)
• Transportation to/from the activity

When you weigh it this way, you’re not just buying “a ride.” You’re buying instruction, risk management, and guided moments you can’t easily recreate on your own. If you’ve ever tried to “DIY” a skyline view activity with limited time and no expertise, you know how quickly costs and complications pile up. Here, you’re showing up and getting the whole package handled.

If you’re price-sensitive, the one lever you control is planning around the cable car ticket cost and keeping your day flexible for weather. The activity is weather-dependent, and that can shift your timing.

Who This Fits Best (and Who Should Skip It)

This tour makes the most sense if you want a shared experience with clear guidance. It’s especially well suited for:

• Couples celebrating something (or just looking for a standout day)
• People who want beginner-friendly structure without giving up real fun
• Anyone who likes the idea of learning a skill moment (steering and control involvement) while still being supported by a pilot

It’s also designed with specific limits:

• Passenger weight between 20 and 125 kg
• Not recommended for children aged 8 and under
• You should have moderate physical fitness

If you know you can’t handle the basic physical demands of an alpine launch area, this might not be the right fit. And because the flight requires good weather, don’t book it as a hard “must happen at 3:00 PM” anchor unless your schedule allows changes.

Should You Book This Klosters Paragliding Experience?

If your goal is a memorable Davos-area activity that feels safe, guided, and still thrilling, I’d book it. The couple format is genuinely strong: you don’t wait around while your partner flies, and the tandem setup with pilots makes the experience both structured and exciting. Add in video and photos, plus the fact that you practice starts before you launch, and you get a day that’s more than just a quick adrenaline blur.

I’d only hesitate if you hate spending extra on a cable car ticket or you’re traveling with tight schedule pressure because weather matters. Otherwise, this is exactly the kind of Alps experience that’s worth putting on your list—because it’s one of the rare activities where you can feel the freedom, not just look at it.
