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

Leave the ground, keep your nerve. This tandem flight gives couples a shared Alpine thrill, with each person flying beside a pilot over Klosters and the Davos area. I like the two-pilot setup, which lets you take off at the same time instead of watching one person fly from below. I also like that the package includes photos and video, so the memory does not end when your feet touch down.

The main drawback is cost. At $397.56 per person, plus a cable car ticket of about $35 per person and any transport to the meeting point, this is a serious splurge. Weather can also cancel the flight, and you need enough fitness for the launch and landing procedures.

Key points to know before you book

• Two passengers fly together: Each person has a private tandem pilot, making this a strong choice for couples and special occasions.
• The mountain views are the main event: From above, you look across Davos, Klosters and the Prättigau area from a rare bird’s-eye angle.
• Beginners are welcome: You receive a safety briefing, practice the launch, and have a pilot with you for the full flight.
• The flight takes place near the lift: The launch area is close to the upper station, so you should not expect a long hike before takeoff.
• Photos and video are included: The package is designed to leave you with more than a fading memory and a few shaky phone pictures.
• Allow extra money and time: The cable car is not included, and the total activity takes about two hours.

What makes a tandem flight in Klosters special

Klosters is a Swiss mountain village in the Prättigau region, close to Davos and surrounded by high peaks. A paragliding flight lets you see this setting in a way that a walking tour or lift ride cannot match. From the air, roads, villages, slopes and valleys become part of one broad view.

This is not a lesson in solo paragliding. You are a passenger, secured to an experienced pilot and attached to the same glider. That makes the experience much more approachable if you have never flown before. You can focus on the view, the sensation of rising air and the mountain scenery rather than on the technical work.

The flight is also well suited to couples. Both passengers go up with their own pilots, so you can share the excitement at the same time. That matters on a special occasion. Nobody has to spend half the experience waiting at the bottom or taking pictures of the other person.

The experience is private to your group. You are not mixed into a large sightseeing party, which keeps the attention on your pair and your pilots. It also makes the outing feel more personal, though the price reflects that private arrangement.

Meeting near Klosters Platz and riding uphill

The stated meeting point is Gotschnastrasse 19, 7250 Klosters Platz, Switzerland. The activity returns to this meeting point at the end. One practical detail deserves attention: an account of the experience describes meeting near the Jakobshornbahn at 1:50 p.m., then taking the lift upward. Because the supplied meeting information and that description point to different lift references, confirm the exact meeting location and lift instructions before you set out.

The cable car ticket costs about $35 per person and is not part of the tour price. Plan to buy it separately, and allow enough time to do so before the agreed meeting time. You do not want to turn a calm preflight into a sprint with a ticket machine.

The lift ride is more than a transport step. It moves you from the village to the launch area and gives you the first broad mountain views of the day. The launch point is described as being just below the summit, with little walking needed after you get off the lift. That is useful if you are carrying day bags or simply want to save your legs for the flight.

Transportation to and from the attractions is also not included. If you are staying in Davos, Klosters or another nearby town, check your own route to Klosters Platz. The operator does not provide a general transfer as part of the package.

Preparing for takeoff with two pilots

Before leaving the ground, you receive an explanation of the safety process, the launch, and the landing. Your pilot stays with you throughout the flight and manages the glider. You still need to listen carefully and follow instructions, especially during the short running start.

The preparation is designed for first-timers. Two people who flew together described practicing the start twice on the slope before the actual launch. That is a useful detail for anyone who worries about stumbling or not knowing what to do. The practice gives you a chance to learn the rhythm before the glider catches the air.

Helmets and gloves are available. The exact clothing requirements are not specified, so you should dress for cool mountain conditions and choose practical footwear. A moderate fitness level is required. You do not need to be an athlete, but you should be comfortable standing, moving on a slope and taking part in the launch and landing.

The passenger weight range is 20 to 125 kilograms. Children aged eight and under should not take part. The age and weight rules are not minor details, so check them before paying, especially if the flight is a gift.

The flight over Davos and the Prättigau valley

Once airborne, the reward is the open view. You can look down on the Swiss village of Klosters and across the surrounding Prättigau area. The view toward Davos is a central part of the experience, and clear weather should give you a wide sense of the region rather than a narrow view of one slope.

A tandem paraglider does not feel like a noisy aircraft. The experience is centered on the sensation of floating through the air with the mountain below. You may have the chance to steer the glider under the pilot’s guidance, which gives you a small role without putting you in charge of the flight.

The pilot can also perform thrilling maneuvers. This is where the experience becomes more than a scenic ride, but it is also where personal comfort matters. If you want a calm flight, tell the pilot. If you want more excitement, ask what is suitable for the conditions and your comfort level.

The flight is weather dependent. Wind, cloud and other conditions can affect safety, so a cancellation is possible even after you have arranged your day. If poor weather cancels the activity, you can choose a different date or receive a full refund. That policy protects your money, but it does not prevent disruption to a tightly planned Swiss itinerary.

Landing, memories and the included media

The pilot handles the landing, but you still need to follow the instructions. As with the launch, staying alert and moving as directed makes the final part easier. After landing, the experience ends back at the meeting point.

The included photos and video are a major part of the value. A tandem flight happens quickly, and you cannot safely use your own phone during every part of it. Having a record of the takeoff, the flight and the mountain views means you can share the experience without trying to hold a camera in the air.

The available package is described as providing plenty of photos and videos. That is especially useful for a birthday, anniversary or other celebration. It also helps justify the higher price for people who want a finished keepsake rather than only the experience itself.

Do not assume that the media replaces every personal photo opportunity. Your own time for pictures may be limited, and the exact number or delivery method for the files is not specified. Ask the operator how the photos and video will be provided if that matters to you.

Is $397.56 per person fair value?

The base price is $397.56 per person, or $795.12 for two. Add roughly $70 for the two cable car tickets, and the pair is at about $865.12 before transport or other personal expenses.

That is expensive for a two-hour activity. If you measure value by time alone, it may not look appealing. Paragliding is different from a standard lift ride, though. You are paying for two pilots, tandem equipment, safety instruction, a private group experience, the flight itself and the included photo and video package.

I think the price makes the most sense for a couple marking a special event or for people who specifically want a first paragliding experience in the Swiss Alps. If your main aim is simply to see the mountains from above, the lift alone costs much less. If you want the sensation of flying and the chance to steer and experience maneuvers, the extra cost has a clearer purpose.

The price is less attractive if you are uncertain about heights, dislike weather-dependent plans or are looking for a full-day activity. The flight lasts about two hours in total, not a full day of guided sightseeing.

Who should book this experience?

I would recommend it to couples who want to do something memorable together rather than split up for separate activities. It also suits beginners because the pilot manages the flight and the briefing covers the basic procedures.

It is a good fit for someone celebrating a birthday, anniversary or romantic trip. The same-time launch is a real advantage. You can share the anticipation, see the same mountain views and finish together.

Experienced paragliders may enjoy the scenery and the chance to let a local pilot handle the flight, but this is still a tandem passenger activity. If you want a technical flying lesson or independent airtime, this is not the right format.

You should think twice if you have limited mobility, do not meet the moderate fitness requirement or fall outside the 20 to 125 kilogram passenger range. The age restriction also rules out children eight and under.

Practical advice for a smoother day

Confirm the meeting point, lift details and start time before the day of the flight. The information gives Gotschnastrasse 19 in Klosters Platz as the start, while a detailed account places the meeting near the Jakobshornbahn. Sorting out that difference in advance is sensible.

Arrive with enough time to buy the separate cable car ticket. Keep your schedule flexible after the flight because weather can force a change. If your Swiss trip includes a train connection or another paid activity, avoid placing it immediately afterward.

Wear clothing suited to mountain conditions and shoes that feel secure on a slope. Helmets and gloves are available, but the rest of your clothing is your responsibility.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the local start time. Changes or cancellations inside that window are not accepted for a refund. If the operator cancels because of poor weather, you are offered another date or a full refund.

Should you book Klosters paragliding for two?

Book it if you want a genuine shared thrill, strong Alpine views and a keepsake video to take home. The two-pilot arrangement, beginner-friendly briefing, short walk to the launch area and private format all work well for couples.

Skip it if the price feels too high for a two-hour activity, if your schedule cannot handle a weather change or if you mainly want a mountain view without the flight. For the right pair, though, this is the sort of experience that can become the main story of a Davos and Klosters visit.
