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

Take to the Swiss sky together. This two-hour tandem paragliding experience in Klosters gives couples a shared flight above the Prättigau region, with broad views toward Davos and a pilot beside each passenger. You do not need previous paragliding experience, and the pilots explain the launch, flight, and landing steps before you leave the ground.

I like the fact that both passengers fly at the same time, rather than taking turns while the other person waits below. I also like the inclusion of photos and video, since the views pass quickly and you can keep a record of the occasion. The main drawback is the price: at $397.56 per person, plus a cable car ticket of about $35 per person, this is a costly two-hour activity.

The setup sounds well organized, with a meeting point close to the Jakobshornbahn area and a short walk from the upper station to the launch site. You should still allow time to buy the cable car ticket and reach the meeting point, and you must be ready for a weather-related change of plans.

Key points to know before you book

• Both passengers fly together: Two pilots take two passengers into the air at the same time, making this a better shared occasion than a one-at-a-time flight.
• The launch is near the upper mountain station: The flight begins directly below the summit area, so you may not face a long hike to the takeoff point.
• Photos and video are included: You can focus on the views and the flight instead of trying to hold a camera during the experience.
• Beginners are welcome: A pilot stays with you throughout and explains the launch and landing procedures.
• The cable car costs extra: Plan on roughly $35 per person for the ride up to the launch area.
• Weather controls the schedule: Poor conditions can lead to a different date or a full refund, but late cancellations by you are subject to a 24-hour rule.

Why this flight works especially well for couples

Many mountain activities are shared in spirit but experienced one person at a time. Here, you and your partner go up together with two pilots. That matters. You can look across at each other in the air, share the same views, and talk about the flight afterward without one person having missed half of it.

The experience also suits a special occasion. The included photos and video give the day a lasting record, and the flight itself has a clear sense of occasion without requiring technical skill from you. One piece of feedback described it as a memorable gift for a boyfriend, which fits the activity well. It feels more personal than another scenic cable car ride, though the price is also far higher.

You should know that this is not a private flight with you controlling the entire experience. Each passenger is attached to a pilot, and the pilot handles the technical work. You may get the chance to steer the glider, but the pilot remains in charge of safety and the flight plan.

That makes this a good choice if you want the thrill of flight without learning the full sport. Experienced paragliders can also enjoy it, but someone seeking serious independent flying instruction should not confuse this with a training course.

Arriving at Gotschnastrasse 19 in Klosters Platz

The meeting point is Gotschnastrasse 19, 7250 Klosters Platz, Switzerland. The activity returns to this same meeting point at the end, so you do not need to arrange a separate pickup location.

The practical detail to keep in mind is the cable car. The ride up is not included, and the stated cost is about $35 per person. One useful timing detail is that a meeting time of 1:50 p.m. was close to the Jakobshornbahn, leaving enough time to buy the cable car ticket before heading upward.

I would not arrive at the last moment. Give yourself enough time to find the meeting point, sort out the cable car ticket, and listen for instructions from the pilots. The experience is weather dependent, and mountain activities run best when everyone arrives calm and ready rather than rushing from the station.

Transportation to and from the attractions is also not included. You are responsible for reaching the meeting point and handling the cable car portion. That is simple enough if you are already staying in Davos or Klosters, but it adds planning if you are coming from farther away.

The ride to the alpine launch site

The flight begins at a high launch site in an alpine setting, directly below the summit area according to the available details. The short distance from the upper station to the takeoff point is a real advantage. You are not expected to complete a long mountain walk while carrying your nerves and waiting for your first flight.

The cable car ride is part of the practical rhythm of the experience, but it is not part of the $397.56 price. You should treat that extra cost as necessary rather than optional, since the launch point is above Klosters and the flight begins high on the mountain.

At this stage, the views already begin to matter. The flight looks over the Swiss Alps and toward Davos, while the takeoff area gives you a sense of the mountain terrain before you leave it. The location is scenic even before the glider rises, though the main reward comes once you are airborne.

The information provided does not give a fixed altitude, exact flight path, or guaranteed flight time. I would avoid booking this if you need a tightly timed view of one particular peak. Mountain weather and flying conditions can affect how the outing runs.

Getting ready: helmets, gloves, and practice starts

The pilots provide the paragliding equipment, including a helmet. Gloves were also available during at least one reported flight, though you should confirm any clothing needs when booking if you have specific concerns.

Before takeoff, you receive an explanation of the safety procedures, including how to launch and land. You also practice the start on the slope. Two practice runs were described before the actual flight, which is useful because the takeoff is not a passive step. You will need to follow the pilot’s instructions and move with the glider as it catches air.

This preparation is one of the most important parts of the activity. A first-time passenger may imagine being lifted from the ground without effort, but tandem paragliding normally begins with coordinated movement. The briefing gives you a clear job to do and helps replace uncertainty with a simple sequence.

The stated physical requirement is moderate fitness. You do not need to be an athlete, but you should be comfortable standing, walking on a mountain surface, and taking part in the launch and landing process. The minimum passenger weight is 20 kilograms, and the maximum is 125 kilograms.

Children aged eight and under are not recommended for this experience. The supplied information does not give a precise minimum age above eight, so families should confirm age suitability before booking.

Two pilots, two gliders, one shared flight

Once preparation is complete, you and your partner go into the air with two pilots. This is the central feature of the experience. You are not watching from a terrace while your partner flies, and you are not waiting for a second turn after the excitement has faded.

Each pilot accompanies one passenger throughout the flight. That gives you direct guidance from takeoff to landing and means the technical decisions remain with someone trained to manage the glider. You can enjoy the scenery, respond to instructions, and take in the sensation of flight without needing to handle the full equipment yourself.

The flight may also include the chance to steer. That can add a useful sense of participation, but you should view it as a supervised moment rather than independent control. The pilot remains responsible for the flight.

For passengers who want a calm scenic ride, the pilot can focus on the views and the smooth movement of the glider. For those who want more excitement, thrilling maneuvers may be available. These are not guaranteed in every flight, and they should depend on conditions and the pilot’s judgment.

That flexibility is helpful for couples with different comfort levels. One person may want a peaceful look across Davos, while the other hopes for a stronger thrill. Speak clearly with the pilots about what you want and what you do not want.

The view over Davos and the Prättigau

From the air, the experience gives you a different view of Davos and the Prättigau region. The launch area is connected with Klosters, a Swiss village in the Prättigau, while the flight offers broad mountain views toward Davos.

The appeal is not a checklist of named peaks. It is the change in scale. From the ground, valleys and villages are separated by roads and slopes. From the glider, they become part of one sweeping view. You get a calm look at the villages and mountains, followed by the sharper sensation of moving through open air.

The photos and video are especially useful here. During a tandem flight, you have limited freedom to manage a camera, and a phone can easily become a distraction. Having images supplied means you can keep both hands available and pay attention to the pilot’s instructions.

The available information does not promise a specific number of photos, video length, or delivery method. That is worth checking before you book if the media is a major reason for choosing this activity. Still, its inclusion adds meaningful value to an expensive experience.

How thrilling is it?

Paragliding can feel gentle one moment and lively the next. The glider can move smoothly over the valley, but the pilots may also offer exciting maneuvers. You should expect the possibility of a thrill rather than assume the whole flight will be a high-speed ride.

That uncertainty is part of the appeal for some people and a concern for others. If you want a quiet scenic flight, tell the pilot. If you want stronger maneuvers and the conditions allow them, ask what is possible. The pilot has the final say, which is exactly what you want for safety.

The experience is suitable for beginners because the pilot handles the equipment and gives instructions. You still need to be comfortable with the idea of launching from a mountain slope and landing after the flight. A moderate fitness level is required, and the weight limit applies to every passenger.

The best mindset is simple: expect a genuine aerial experience, not a theme-park ride with a fixed script. Weather, wind, and safety decisions shape the flight.

The landing and return to Klosters

The pilot explains the landing procedure before you take off, so you are not left to guess what happens at the end. As with the launch, following instructions matters more than athletic skill.

The activity ends back at the original meeting point. That makes the finish easy to understand, though you should still plan your onward transport from Klosters Platz. The experience does not include transportation to or from the attractions.

The stated total duration is about two hours. That should be viewed as the time for the full activity, including preparation and the mountain logistics, rather than a guarantee of two hours in the air. The actual flight duration is not specified.

This is an important point when you compare the price with other activities. You are paying for the pilots, equipment, preparation, cable car access planning, launch setting, flight, and included media. You are not simply buying a set number of minutes suspended above Davos.

Is $397.56 per person fair value?

At $397.56 per person, this sits firmly in the special-occasion category. Add the roughly $35 cable car ticket per person, and a couple is looking at about $865 before any other transport or personal costs.

That is a lot for a two-hour activity. If your budget is tight, you may find a mountain viewpoint, cable car ride, or regular sightseeing stop easier to justify. You should also remember that poor weather can change the date, which may affect the rest of your plans.

The value improves if you place a high worth on the shared experience. Two pilots, simultaneous flights, professional equipment, photos, video, and the chance to steer all make this more than a basic scenic ride. The ability to fly together is the strongest reason to choose this option over a standard tandem flight booked separately.

I also see value in the preparation. Beginners get a clear safety briefing, practice starts, and direct pilot support. That does not remove the fear or the cost, but it makes the experience more approachable for someone who has never paraglided.

Weather, cancellation, and practical limits

Good weather is required. If the activity is canceled because conditions are poor, you can receive a different date or a full refund. That policy is fair for a mountain flight, since the pilots should not compromise safety to protect a schedule.

If you need a full refund for your own change of plans, cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the experience are not refunded, and changes inside that window are not accepted.

The booking confirmation is supplied at the time of booking, and the ticket is mobile. Keep the confirmation easy to access on your phone, especially when you are moving between the meeting point and cable car station.

This is a private activity for your own group only. That is useful for couples who prefer not to share their special occasion with a large group, though each passenger still flies with a separate pilot.

Who should book this experience?

I would recommend it most strongly to:

• Couples celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or major trip
• First-time paragliders who want close pilot guidance
• People who value photos and video as part of the package
• Couples who want to fly at the same time
• Visitors already based in Davos or Klosters
• Active passengers who can manage a moderate physical effort

I would be more cautious if you dislike heights, need a fixed schedule, or want the lowest-cost way to see the Alps. You should also think twice if one person in your party is over the 125-kilogram limit, under the stated age guidance, or uncomfortable with the launch and landing process.

Should you book Klosters paragliding for two?

Book it if the shared flight is the main goal. The strongest features are the simultaneous takeoff for two passengers, the pilot-led safety briefing, the scenic views over Davos and Prättigau, and the included photos and video.

Skip it if the full cost feels uncomfortable or if you want a predictable, low-intensity sightseeing activity. The weather can change the plan, the cable car costs extra, and the flight involves real participation at launch and landing.

For the right couple, this is a memorable Alpine splurge. You get the rare chance to experience the same mountain air at the same time, then return to Klosters with photos, video, and a story that a normal viewpoint cannot provide.
