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

The striking part of this Klosters outing is simple: you and your partner take to the air together, each with a private pilot. From the launch area, you look over the Swiss mountain country, the Prättigau valley, and the village below rather than seeing the Alps through a train window.

I like the careful preparation and the useful extras. You receive a proper briefing, practice the launch, and may get a chance to steer during the flight. Photos and video are included, which matters when your hands are busy and the scenery is moving fast.

The main consideration is cost. At $397.56 per person, plus about $35 for the cable car, this is a major splurge. You also need suitable weather, a moderate fitness level, and a passenger weight between 20 and 125 kilograms.

Key points to know before booking

• Two private tandem flights: You and your partner fly at the same time with two pilots.
• Klosters launch setting: The flight begins from a high alpine launch area with views toward Davos and the Prättigau.
• Practice comes first: You receive safety instructions and rehearse the takeoff before leaving the slope.
• Photos and video included: You can take home a visual record of the flight without managing a camera in the air.
• Cable car costs extra: Budget approximately $35 per person for the ride to the launch area.
• Weather controls the schedule: Poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.

Two gliders, one shared Alpine moment

This is designed for couples, but the format is not a shared aircraft ride. You and your companion use separate tandem paragliders, each with a trained pilot, and go into the air at about the same time.

That setup gives you a nice balance. You share the anticipation and the views, but each person has a pilot focused on their own takeoff, flight, and landing. You can look across and see your partner in the air, assuming the position and weather allow it.

The flight is private to your group. That does not mean you receive a completely custom schedule or unlimited flying time, but you are not joining a large sightseeing group on the ground. The pilots and equipment are arranged for your party.

Air-Davos Paragliding handles the tandem flight, safety equipment, and pilot service. You do not need previous paragliding experience. The activity is also suitable for experienced flyers who want a scenic tandem outing rather than a self-managed flight.

Meeting in Klosters and reaching the launch site

The stated meeting point is Gotschnastrasse 19, 7250 Klosters Platz, Switzerland. The activity ends back there, so you return to the same general meeting point after landing and completing the outing.

The cable-car fare is not included. Plan on roughly $35 per person for that ride. This is an important budget detail because the advertised price already sits in the premium range, and the mountain transport is a required extra for getting up to the launch area.

One practical note from the supplied directions is worth keeping in mind. A meeting arrangement was described near the Jakobshornbahn, with a 1:50 p.m. pickup that left enough time to buy a lift ticket. Since the formal meeting address is in Klosters Platz, check the exact meeting instructions attached to your booking before you set off. Do not assume that every departure uses the same lift entrance or meeting spot.

Arrive with enough time to find the meeting point and purchase the cable-car ticket if instructed. A last-minute scramble at a lift station is a poor way to begin an activity that depends on calm preparation.

What happens before takeoff

The pilots explain how the launch and landing work before you head into the air. You are not simply clipped into a harness and sent running down a hill. The preparation includes practice on the slope, and one account describes rehearsing the launch twice before the actual departure.

That practice has real value. A tandem launch requires you to move with the glider and pilot. You need to follow instructions, keep moving when told, and avoid sitting down too early. A few dry runs help you understand the rhythm before the wind and slope make the moment feel more serious.

Helmets and gloves are available. The supplied details do not spell out every clothing requirement, so wear practical mountain clothing and shoes that are suitable for walking on a slope. The activity requires a moderate level of physical fitness, mainly because you must take part in the launch and manage the landing with guidance from the pilot.

You will receive a safety briefing and remain with your pilot throughout. That makes this a reasonable first flight for someone who has never paraglided, provided that person is comfortable with heights and able to follow physical instructions.

The high launch above Klosters

The launch site is in an alpine setting, and the location itself is part of the appeal. One useful detail is that the starting point is directly below the summit area, so you may not face a long walk from the lift to the place where the flight begins.

From this height, the view opens across Davos and the Prättigau region. You see the Swiss village below, the surrounding mountain slopes, and the broad valley pattern that is hard to appreciate from ground level. The flight is not just a fast thrill ride. Much of its appeal comes from the quiet aerial view and the change in scale.

The exact view depends on weather and the flight path. Clear conditions should give you the best chance of seeing far across the region, while cloud or changing wind can affect what is possible. Since paragliding is weather-dependent, the operator may need to change the date or cancel for safety.

The launch itself is likely to be the most nerve-racking part for a first-time passenger. That is normal. The pilots are there to explain the steps, and the practice runs give you a chance to understand what your body needs to do before the glider lifts.

The flight: calm views and optional thrills

Once airborne, the tandem glider carries you above the mountains with your pilot seated behind you. You get a high view of Davos, Klosters, and the Prättigau area, with the village appearing small below.

The activity promises both sightseeing and excitement. You can enjoy the broad views, and you may have a chance to steer under the pilot’s direction. The pilot can also add thrilling maneuvers. Those are optional in spirit, even if the exact choice depends on the pilot, conditions, and safety limits.

If you want a gentle scenic flight, say so. If you are hoping for more movement, ask what is possible before launch. A useful part of tandem flying is that you can discuss your comfort level rather than having to manage the glider alone.

The two-person format works especially well for a birthday, anniversary, or other special occasion. You and your partner experience the same high point in the same time window, and the included media gives you something more lasting than a quick phone photo at the lift station.

The experience lasts about two hours from start to finish. That does not mean two hours in the air. The total time includes meeting, lift access, preparation, launch practice, flight, and return to the meeting point. Keep that distinction in mind when planning the rest of your day.

Landing and returning to Klosters Platz

The pilot also explains the landing procedure. As with takeoff, you follow clear instructions and let the pilot manage the glider. The activity ends back at the meeting point, making the return simple once the flight is over.

The final part can feel more physical than the flight itself. You may need to walk after landing, and the activity is not aimed at people seeking a completely passive ride. The supplied requirements call for moderate fitness, so consider your ability to move on uneven mountain ground before booking.

You should also be comfortable with the possibility that the flight experience changes with the weather. Wind, cloud, and other conditions affect launch and landing. If poor weather forces cancellation, you can choose another date or receive a full refund.

Photos, video, and the value of the price

The price is $397.56 per person, and the cable car adds about $35 per person. For two people, that puts the outing at roughly $865 before any other personal costs. That is expensive for a two-hour activity, so the value depends on what you want from the day.

I see three parts of the price. You are paying for two tandem pilots, specialist equipment, lift access to a high launch area, and the work involved in planning a safe flight. You also receive photos and video, which is a meaningful extra for a couple. Without that service, you would have little chance to record the flight while managing the launch, harness, and scenery.

The price makes less sense if you mainly want a short thrill and are watching every franc. It makes more sense for a special occasion, especially if you would otherwise spend heavily on a celebration meal or a full-day paid attraction.

The media package also helps couples who want to share the moment afterward. Ask the provider for the exact delivery details if that matters to you, since the supplied information confirms inclusion but does not state the number of images, video length, or delivery method.

Who will enjoy this most

This outing suits a couple who wants a memorable mountain activity without needing previous flight experience. It also suits an experienced paraglider who prefers a pilot-led outing and wants to concentrate on the views.

I would recommend it most strongly to people who:

• Enjoy heights and open-air activities
• Can manage a moderate physical effort
• Want to fly with a partner at the same time
• Are happy to pay extra for a private format and recorded memories
• Have flexibility in case weather changes the schedule

It is not a good fit for children aged eight and under. The passenger weight range is 20 to 125 kilograms, and both people must fit within those limits. The activity is not described as wheelchair accessible, and the launch process involves slope practice and physical participation, so anyone with mobility concerns should ask the provider before booking.

Small details that make a difference

The strongest practical feature is the preparation. The two launch rehearsals described in the supplied material suggest that the pilots take the first flight seriously, which is exactly what you want when you are about to run off a mountain.

The equipment provision is another help. Helmets and gloves are available, so you do not need to assemble a full paragliding kit. You should still dress for mountain weather and wear shoes that give you a secure footing.

The timing deserves attention. A morning or afternoon flight may look easy to fit around sightseeing, but lift access, briefing, practice, weather checks, and return all take time. With a two-hour estimate, I would avoid placing a tight dinner reservation or another timed activity immediately afterward.

The cancellation rules are fair but strict. You receive a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that window are not accepted for a refund. Because weather can alter the plan, build a little flexibility into your stay in Klosters or Davos.

Is this Klosters flight worth booking?

Book it if you want a special-occasion Alpine memory and the cost fits your budget. The private two-pilot format, shared timing, launch practice, and included photos and video give the activity more substance than a basic short thrill ride.

Think twice if you dislike heights, need a firm schedule, or are looking for a low-cost way to see the mountains. The extra cable-car ticket and weather risk push the total price higher, and the launch requires some physical effort.

For a couple who wants to see Davos and Klosters from the air, this is a strong choice. Confirm the exact meeting point, allow time for the lift ticket, and book on a day when you can stay flexible. If the sky cooperates, you get a rare view of the Swiss Alps and a story that is hard to match from the valley floor.
