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

The best part of this Klosters adventure is simple: you and your partner leave the mountain together, then float above the Prättigau valley and Davos with your own pilots. You get a clear safety briefing, a chance to help steer, and photos and videos to keep the memory alive. The shared flight makes this a strong pick for a birthday, anniversary, or big Swiss Alps splurge.

I like the careful setup and the small private format. You practice the launch before taking off, and the pilots provide helmets and gloves. I also like the practical meeting point near the Jakobshornbahn, which gives you time to buy the required cable-car ticket. The main drawback is cost: at $397.56 per person, plus about $35 per person for the cable car and your own transport, this is not a casual afternoon activity.

Key points to know before you book

• Two passengers fly at the same time: You and your partner each have a pilot, so you share the airborne part of the experience rather than taking turns on the ground.
• Launch practice is part of the preparation: You rehearse the running takeoff on the slope before the real departure.
• Photos and videos are included: You do not have to choose between enjoying the views and trying to document them yourself.
• The cable car costs extra: Plan on about $35 per person for the ride up to the launch area.
• The flight begins high above Klosters: The launch point is close to the summit, so there is little walking before takeoff.
• Weather controls the schedule: Poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund, and good basic fitness is required.

Flying together above Klosters

Tandem paragliding can be an awkward choice for couples if one person flies first and the other waits below. This activity solves that problem neatly. Two passengers go up with two pilots, allowing you to share the main moment at the same time.

You meet at Gotschnastrasse 19 in Klosters Platz. From there, the practical work begins. Your pilots provide the paragliding equipment, including the helmet and gloves noted in the preparation details, and explain how the launch and landing work.

The activity is private for your group. That matters because the pace is not shaped by a large crowd. You can focus on the instructions, ask questions, and prepare without a busload of strangers hovering around the launch area.

The listed duration is about two hours. That includes meeting up, getting equipment, taking the cable car, preparing on the slope, flying, and returning to the meeting point. Do not read two hours as two hours in the air. The actual flight time can depend on weather and flying conditions, neither of which is fixed.

The ride up to the launch site

The meeting point is close to the Jakobshornbahn. One useful timing tip is to arrive with enough room to buy the cable-car ticket before the group heads up. The ticket is not included, and the stated price is about $35 per person.

That extra cost is easy to miss when comparing activities. For two people, it adds roughly $70 to the advertised price, bringing the pair to about $865 before any transport costs. The price listed for the paragliding itself is $397.56 per person, so this is a premium Alpine activity rather than a budget attraction.

The upper station puts you near the launch area below the summit. A short walk is involved, but the preparation notes indicate that the takeoff point is close to the top, so you are not facing a long mountain hike while carrying equipment.

The setting is one of the pleasures here. You are not launching from a flat field on the valley floor. You prepare on an alpine slope with Klosters and the Prättigau area spread below. Even before the flight begins, the cable-car ride and high starting point give the outing a strong sense of place.

Transportation to and from the attractions is not included. You need to arrange your own way to the meeting point and account for that in your timing and budget. The activity ends back at the original meeting point, which makes the return plan fairly clear.

Learning the launch before takeoff

The safety talk is not a token introduction. You receive instructions about the launch and landing procedures, then practice starting on the hillside. The preparation details describe two practice runs, which is useful for first-time paragliders who may not know how quickly the takeoff happens.

A tandem launch is not a jump from a platform. You run with the pilot as the glider fills with air, following the instructions on pace and direction. The practice gives you a chance to understand the movement before the real attempt.

The pilots stay with you for the whole flight. That makes the activity suitable for beginners, and experienced paragliders can still appreciate having local flight support and a managed tandem setup. You are not expected to handle the equipment alone.

Basic fitness matters. You should be comfortable moving on a mountain slope and following instructions during the launch. The minimum passenger weight is 20 kilograms, and the maximum is 125 kilograms. Children aged eight and under are not recommended for this activity.

Those limits are important to check before paying. If one person in your party falls outside the weight range, or if a young child is included, contact the operator before booking rather than assuming the equipment will work.

The flight over Davos and the Prättigau valley

Once airborne, the focus shifts from instructions to the view. You can expect broad Alpine scenery, with the Swiss village of Klosters and the Prättigau valley below and views toward Davos. The height changes how these places look. Roads, buildings, slopes, and valleys become part of one large scene rather than separate stops on a map.

The activity includes a chance to steer the glider. This is not the same as taking control of the flight, and your pilot remains responsible throughout. Still, even a short turn under instruction can make the flight feel more personal than simply sitting in a harness.

The pilots may also include thrilling maneuvers. This is worth discussing before launch, especially if one passenger wants a calm scenic flight and the other hopes for a more energetic ride. The safe choice is to tell the pilot what you want and let the pilot judge what conditions allow.

You and your partner fly at the same time, but your views will not be identical every second. Two gliders may move slightly apart or follow different lines in the air. That is part of the fun, and it gives you something to compare when you are back together.

The weather has the final say. Paragliding needs suitable conditions, and the activity can be canceled if the weather is poor. If that happens, you are offered another date or a full refund. This is reassuring, but it also means you should avoid placing the flight on the one and only day of a tightly packed Swiss vacation.

Photos, videos, and the value of the package

Photos and videos are included, which adds real value at this price. During a flight, your hands and attention are occupied. Trying to record everything yourself can distract from the view, and a phone may be difficult to manage safely in the air.

The supplied images also solve a common problem with adventure activities: you remember the feeling, but have little proof of what happened. Here, you receive visual material that can show the launch, the flight, and the Alpine setting.

The available feedback places special emphasis on the number of photos and videos provided. That is worth keeping in mind when comparing this activity with cheaper tandem flights. A lower headline price may not include the same record of the experience.

The package is still expensive. At nearly $400 per person before the cable car, you are paying for a private two-person setup, trained pilots, equipment, a mountain departure, and media. If you are mainly looking for a quick scenic ride, the price may feel high. If you are marking an important occasion and want one shared activity with a lasting record, the cost is easier to defend.

What makes it good for couples

The couple-friendly design is more than a marketing label. You do not have to watch your partner disappear into the sky while you wait. Both people prepare together, launch with separate pilots, and experience the valley from the air during the same window.

That makes it a strong choice for an anniversary, proposal celebration, birthday, or holiday treat. The activity also gives you a shared story with several stages: the cable-car ride, the practice runs, the launch, the flight, and the return.

It is not ideal for every couple. One person may love the idea of aerial maneuvers while the other wants only a quiet glide. Talk about that before takeoff. The pilots can guide the flight, but the weather and safety conditions set the limits.

The private format helps here. Your group is the only group taking part, so you are not trying to negotiate your comfort level in front of a larger party. You can be direct with the pilot about nerves, preferred activity level, and questions.

Practical planning for the day

Book with weather in mind. The operator requires suitable conditions, and a poor-weather cancellation can result in a new date or a full refund. I would leave some flexibility in your Davos schedule rather than booking this immediately before a train, flight, or fixed dinner reservation.

Arrive at the meeting point with time to spare. You need to find Gotschnastrasse 19, check in, and buy the separate cable-car ticket. Rushing at the start would take away from the calm preparation that helps first-time flyers.

Wear clothing suitable for an alpine setting and movement on a slope, though the provided information does not specify a required clothing list. The key point is to be ready for a moderate physical effort and to follow the pilots during the practice launches.

The mobile ticket is convenient for showing your booking on your phone. Confirmation is provided when you book. Keep the meeting address and start time easy to reach, since the activity ends back at that same meeting point.

Cancellation is flexible if you act early. You can receive a full refund by canceling at least 24 hours before the local start time. Cancellations or changes made inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund, except when the operator cancels because of poor weather.

Who should book this Klosters flight?

I would choose this for a couple who wants a major Alpine memory rather than a quiet sightseeing stop. It fits people who are comfortable with a moderate level of physical activity, can meet the weight requirements, and are willing to spend extra for the private setup and included photos and videos.

First-time paragliders are well served by the briefing, pilot support, and practice launches. Experienced paragliders may appreciate the chance to fly in the Davos and Klosters area, although this is still a tandem activity with the pilot in charge.

I would think twice if you dislike heights, need a guaranteed schedule, or want the lowest-cost way to see the Alps. The cable-car ticket and transport are separate, the weather can change the plan, and the high price is only worthwhile if the flight itself is a priority.

Should you book it?

Book this Klosters paragliding flight if you want to share a genuine aerial adventure with one other person and value having photos and videos included. The high launch point, private format, careful practice, and simultaneous flight for two make it especially appealing for a special occasion.

Skip it if your budget is tight or if you need a fixed departure in all weather. For the right couple, though, the chance to run from an Alpine slope, float above Davos, and return with a record of the flight can justify the cost.
