Floating over the Alps feels unreal. This Klosters tandem paragliding ride is built for couples, with pilots right there as you fly, learn, and take home video and photos.

What I really like is the hands on approach. You get a clear safety briefing for launch and landing, you practice the start on the slope, and you can even steer the glider while you enjoy Davos from the air.

One thing to consider: the flight depends on weather, and you’ll usually need to budget for the cable car ticket (35 USD per person) since it is not included.

Key things that make this paragliding ride memorable

KLOSTERS: Paragliding For 2 - Couples (Video &Photos Incl.) - Key things that make this paragliding ride memorable

  • Couples fly in tandem, so you are in the air at the same time with pilots by your side
  • Safety prep that goes beyond a quick talk, including instruction and practice before launch
  • You steer the paraglider, so it is not just a sit and watch experience
  • Video and photos included, which is great for proof and keepsakes
  • A second scenic stop in Prättigau, so the day feels more like a mini journey, not a drive-by activity

Tandem paragliding over Davos, built for couples and all experience levels

KLOSTERS: Paragliding For 2 - Couples (Video &Photos Incl.) - Tandem paragliding over Davos, built for couples and all experience levels
This is one of those Swiss Alps activities that makes sense even if you do not consider yourself an outdoor thrill seeker. The format is simple: you go up as passengers on a tandem paragliding flight, guided by a pilot who handles the technical stuff. That means you can focus on the sensation, the views, and the fun parts.

Because it is designed for couples, the experience is timed so you are flying together. That matters. You get that shared, big moment feeling, plus you are both getting the same panoramic look at the area around Davos. It also helps emotionally. When you can look over at your partner midair, it turns nerves into something closer to excitement.

The other thing I like is that the experience does not assume one type of person. It is presented as suitable for beginners and for people with more experience. Even if you have never done anything like this, you still get briefing and clear guidance. If you have flown before, you still get to steer and experience the air movement firsthand.

Getting to the launch area: meeting at Gotschnastrasse 19

KLOSTERS: Paragliding For 2 - Couples (Video &Photos Incl.) - Getting to the launch area: meeting at Gotschnastrasse 19
You meet at Gotschnastrasse 19, 7250 Klosters Platz, Switzerland. The activity ends back at the same meeting point, which keeps the day from turning into extra chasing around town.

One practical point: the cable car ticket is not included, and it is listed at 35 USD per person. You’ll want to plan your day so you are not rushed. In one smooth approach that matches how many people schedule here, you can handle the cable car purchase on site and still have time before the takeoff setup begins. The main goal is to arrive early enough to get your gear ready, do any prep you need, and get comfortable before the slope timing starts.

Also, you are not getting transportation to and from attractions. If you are pairing this with other Davos or Klosters plans, I suggest building in extra buffer for local movement, parking, or public transit.

What the preflight safety briefing really means for you

KLOSTERS: Paragliding For 2 - Couples (Video &Photos Incl.) - What the preflight safety briefing really means for you
Paragliding can look intimidating from the ground. The good news is that this is run in a way that makes it feel more like a guided lesson than a leap of faith.

Before you go airborne, you get a detailed briefing covering launch and landing procedures. That covers more than just rules. It’s the difference between being told what is happening and understanding why you are doing it. You will also have a pilot with you the entire time, so you are not left alone once the flight begins.

Then there is the part that makes people relax: practice on the hang. In one clearly organized example, participants practiced the start on the slope twice before takeoff. That kind of repetition helps your brain map the steps, even if you are new.

Gear also matters here. Helmets and gloves are provided, and having the right equipment on helps you feel properly protected. If you are the type who likes to know what you are wearing and why, you will appreciate that the setup is standardized.

Airtime over Davos: steering, maneuvers, and the view you came for

KLOSTERS: Paragliding For 2 - Couples (Video &Photos Incl.) - Airtime over Davos: steering, maneuvers, and the view you came for
Once you launch, the whole point becomes obvious. You are up high enough to see Davos laid out below, and the experience turns into a slow, powerful sense of freedom. The views are repeatedly described as breathtaking and unique, with people highlighting how good the perspective feels over the whole Davos area.

But it’s not only about looking. This experience is also about participating. You get the chance to steer the glider, even though the pilot is in control. That means you are not just along for the ride. You can feel how tiny inputs shape the flight path, which makes the experience more memorable than a passive attraction.

You can also expect thrilling moments, including maneuvers. The key is balance: the pilot manages safety while still giving you that adrenaline hit. That is why it works for both beginners and experienced flyers. Beginners get a guided thrill. Experienced people still get a chance to feel the glider and enjoy the ride.

If you worry about motion, focus on this: the pilot explains what you need to know, and you have the structure of a tandem flight plan. Your job is mostly to stay relaxed, listen, and follow cues at the right time.

The Prättigau village stop: Switzerland after the landing

KLOSTERS: Paragliding For 2 - Couples (Video &Photos Incl.) - The Prättigau village stop: Switzerland after the landing
This ride is not just a single takeoff and then straight back down. There is also a stop described as a Swiss village in the Prättigau area.

In practice, that matters because it changes the rhythm of the experience. You get the air moment, then you return toward ground level and see the region again. Even if you are focused on the flight, a stop like this adds texture to the day. It helps the activity feel like part of the Alps story rather than a one off thrill.

If you want a simple photo plan, use the after-landing time for relaxed shots. You’ll typically have enough energy left to take pictures without rushing, and it is also a good moment to review what you felt in the air.

Equipment, pilot attention, and why the included ride feels like value

KLOSTERS: Paragliding For 2 - Couples (Video &Photos Incl.) - Equipment, pilot attention, and why the included ride feels like value
The listing includes tandem paragliding, the pilot, and use of paragliding equipment. That package is the heart of the value. You are paying for more than a ticket to a view. You are paying for trained instruction, flight responsibility, and the gear that makes the activity possible.

It also helps that the experience is private for your group. In other words, you are not sharing the day with a random crowd. That usually means calmer coordination, more focused attention, and easier communication with your pilots.

One more detail that boosts the value: video and photos are included. You do not have to stop the experience to worry about getting the right shots. And when you get back, you have actual proof of what you felt, not just memories that fade.

Price and what you should budget beyond the $397.56 per person

KLOSTERS: Paragliding For 2 - Couples (Video &Photos Incl.) - Price and what you should budget beyond the $397.56 per person
At $397.56 per person, this is not cheap. But it also is not an everyday activity. The cost is mostly paying for specialist equipment, pilot expertise, and the tandem setup for two passengers.

Here is the budgeting reality: the cable car ticket is 35 USD per person, and transportation to and from attractions is not included. So if your budget only looks at the main price, you might get surprised. If you build the full number into your plan, the pricing makes more sense.

The best way to judge value is to compare the total experience you get:

  • a tandem flight experience with pilots
  • time for instruction and practice
  • gear provided
  • video and photos included
  • a couple oriented format that shares the moment at the same time

If you and your partner are the type who wants one memorable “wow” activity in the Swiss Alps, this tends to deliver. If you only want gentle sightseeing, you may find it more than you need.

Who should book this paragliding flight, and who should think twice

KLOSTERS: Paragliding For 2 - Couples (Video &Photos Incl.) - Who should book this paragliding flight, and who should think twice
This ride has a few clear suitability notes. You should have a moderate physical fitness level. It is not about hiking for hours, but you do need to be comfortable enough for the steps involved in preparing on the slope and launching safely.

There are also weight limits: passenger weight between 20 and 125 kg. And it is not recommended for children aged 8 and under. If you fall outside those ranges, you should not assume you can make it work. In air sports, those numbers exist for a reason.

If you are nervous about heights, the tandem format can help, because you are not controlling everything alone. Still, be honest with yourself. If you have a strong fear of being suspended in the air, this may feel like too much even with a pilot and training.

If you are celebrating something, it fits that vibe well. People often describe it as a special gift experience, and the shared airtime makes it easy to mark as a couple moment.

Should you book Klosters Paragliding For 2 in Klosters?

Book it if you want:

  • a couples focused tandem flight where you go up together
  • a real chance to steer and feel more involved than a simple sightseeing ride
  • a setup that emphasizes safety briefing and practice
  • video and photos included, so the day stays with you after you leave

Skip or reconsider if:

  • you cannot be flexible with weather, since it requires good conditions
  • you are not willing to pay for the extra cable car ticket
  • you or your partner do not meet the weight or age guidance

If you are choosing between a few activities in the Davos and Klosters area, I would treat this as your big day. It is one of the few things here that genuinely changes how you see the Alps, not just how you view them.
