Review · PARAGLIDING & TANDEM FLIGHTS
DAVOS: Paragliding For 2 Passengers – Together In The Air! (Video&Photos Incl.)
Feel the Alps from above. This private Davos flight lets two people soar side by side with their own pilots, making it a fine choice for couples, friends, or a memorable birthday gift. I especially like the in-depth safety briefing and the fact that photos and video are included, not added later at a surprise cost. The main drawback is price: at $503.51 per person, this is a serious splurge, and you must also pay for the cable car.
I also like the calm, personal approach reported from pilots such as Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan. They explain takeoff and landing clearly, chat during the flight, and help nervous first-timers settle down. You need moderate fitness, good weather, and a body weight between 20 and 125 kilograms, so this is not a last-minute fit for every visitor.

Key things to know before you fly

- Two people fly together: You and your companion take tandem flights at the same time, with a separate pilot for each passenger.
- Photos and video are included: You receive images and a professionally edited video of the takeoff, flight, and landing.
- Meet in central Davos: The starting point is Brämabüelstrasse 11, 7270 Davos, and the activity ends there.
- The price excludes the cable car: Budget for that extra cost, as well as any transport needed to reach other attractions.
- The flight depends on weather: Poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.
- The pilots suit nervous beginners: Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan are repeatedly praised for being calm, clear, and professional.
Why two-person paragliding works so well in Davos

Paragliding is often sold as a personal thrill, but this version adds a useful social twist. Two passengers fly at the same time, side by side, each attached to a qualified tandem pilot. You do not have to choose between sharing the moment and taking turns on the ground.
That matters for a couple celebrating a birthday, friends on a Swiss holiday, or a parent and older child who want to try something unusual together. You can look across at your companion in the air, compare the views afterward, and receive photos of both of you above the mountains.
The activity is private, so only your own group takes part. That gives the outing a more personal feel than a large adventure group. It also means the pace and conversation stay focused on your party, rather than being shaped by strangers.
The listed duration is about two hours. That includes the briefing, preparation, flight activity, and return to the meeting point, not necessarily two full hours in the air. The exact airborne time can depend on conditions, but the supplied details do not give a fixed flight length. I would avoid booking another tight activity immediately afterward.

Starting at Air-Davos Paragliding on Brämabüelstrasse

Your meeting point is Air-Davos Paragliding at Brämabüelstrasse 11 in Davos. This is both the start and end point, which keeps the day simple once you arrive.
Transportation to attractions is not included. The cable car ticket is also excluded, so you need to plan for that separate expense before takeoff. The experience information does not specify the exact cable car fare or whether the ticket is purchased directly by the company, so check the current arrangements when you book.
This is one of those activities where arriving prepared helps. Wear clothing suited to an outdoor mountain setting, and allow enough time to reach the meeting point without rushing. The listed meeting address is clear, but the supplied information does not promise hotel pickup or transport from elsewhere in Davos.
The activity is offered in English. That is useful during the safety briefing, where you need to understand simple instructions about takeoff and landing. Booking confirmation is issued at the time of booking, giving you the key details before the day arrives.
The briefing matters more than the thrill
Before you leave the ground, your pilot explains how takeoff and landing work. This is not filler. For a first flight, knowing when to walk, how to respond to instructions, and what happens at the end can remove much of the fear.
Several pilots receive praise for clear communication and a steady manner. Martin is described as calm and professional, while Fabio, Damir, and Jan are also praised for their experience and friendly approach. That is especially helpful if you are excited but nervous.
You do not need to arrive with paragliding skills. The included pilot and equipment handle the technical side, while you follow the instructions given to you. Still, this is an active outing, not a ride where you simply sit back from the first minute. A moderate level of physical fitness is required.
The supplied details do not list medical restrictions beyond fitness, age, and weight. If you have a health concern, ask Air-Davos Paragliding before booking rather than relying on a general assumption that tandem flight will suit you.
Takeoff, flight, and landing in the Davos mountains
The flight begins with preparation for takeoff. Your pilot guides you through the process, then you move into the air together. The reviews describe the sensation as both peaceful and thrilling, a useful description for anyone imagining nonstop adrenaline.
Once airborne, the point is not speed. You are suspended beneath the canopy, looking across Davos and the surrounding valleys from a completely different angle. The pilots can chat with you during the flight, so you can ask questions or simply enjoy the silence and broad mountain views.
That combination makes the activity approachable for first-timers. You get the excitement of leaving the ground, but the flight can also feel calm and gentle. One nervous passenger reportedly found the experience far more enjoyable than expected after Martin and Damir helped create a relaxed setting.
The pilots also handle the flying decisions. Your job is to listen, follow instructions, and take in the scenery. If you are hoping for a highly acrobatic flight, the supplied details do not promise aerobatic maneuvers. The emphasis is on a smooth tandem flight with views and conversation.
Landing receives attention during the briefing, so you know what to expect before coming down. The outing ends back at the meeting point, making the return straightforward.

The strongest feature: photos and video included

The included media may be the best value point in the whole package. Many adventure operators charge extra for photographs or a video after the activity. Here, photos and video are included in the listed price.
The material can include both passengers, along with takeoff, flight, landing, and some pre-flight moments. One customer described receiving dozens of photos and a well-edited video later the same day. Another said the files arrived that evening, which is a useful detail if you want to share the experience while your holiday is still underway.
This changes the way you can enjoy the flight. You do not need to spend the whole time worrying about capturing your own images. You can focus on the views, talk with your pilot, and let the company handle the record of the day.
The photos also make this a stronger gift than a simple thrill ride. A birthday present becomes something you can keep and revisit. For a couple, the side-by-side images show the shared nature of the flight, rather than leaving one person on the ground taking phone pictures.
The supplied information does not specify the number of photos, video resolution, delivery method, or exact editing style. Those details can change, so ask if they matter to you. The important point is that media is included, not treated as an optional extra.
What the $503.51 price really buys you

At $503.51 per person, the listed price is high. For two people, the activity price comes to about $1,007.02 before the separate cable car ticket and any transport costs. That puts this firmly in the special-occasion category.
Still, price alone does not tell the whole story. The fee covers the tandem paragliding ride, the pilot, the paragliding equipment, and the photos and video. You are also buying a private activity for your own group, with two pilots flying the pair together.
The included media makes the price easier to defend. If you were comparing this with a cheaper flight that charged extra for images and video, the gap could be smaller than it first appears. The same-day delivery described in the supplied feedback adds practical value too.
I would book it for a major highlight, not as a casual filler between cheaper Davos activities. If your budget is limited, you need to decide how much you value a shared Alpine memory. If this is a birthday, anniversary, proposal-related celebration, or once-in-a-trip event, the cost may feel justified.
The cable car is the biggest extra to remember. Since it is not included, calculate the full cost before paying. Transportation to and from other attractions is also outside the package.
Who should book this Davos flight
This is a good match for adults and older children who want a memorable first paragliding experience without handling the technical work themselves. It also suits couples and friends who specifically want to fly at the same time.
Nervous passengers should not rule it out too quickly. The strongest pattern in the feedback is the pilots’ calm, friendly manner. Martin is singled out for helping a nervous passenger enjoy the flight, and another account praises his care and encouragement with an eight-year-old child.
The official information says the activity is not recommended for children aged eight and under. That means an eight-year-old may not be automatically excluded, but you should confirm suitability with the operator before booking for a child. The age guidance should take priority over a single personal account.
The weight range is 20 to 125 kilograms. This is a firm practical filter, so check each passenger before making plans. You also need moderate physical fitness, particularly for following takeoff and landing instructions.
I would not choose this activity if you dislike heights, cannot follow spoken instructions, or need a tightly fixed schedule. Paragliding requires suitable weather, and the exact timing of the airborne part is not stated.
Weather, cancellation, and planning advice

Good weather is required. If poor conditions force a cancellation, you can choose a different date or receive a full refund. That protection is valuable in the mountains, where conditions can change and a safe flight must come before a rigid itinerary.
You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the activity are not refunded, and late changes are not accepted. The cutoff uses local Davos time.
I suggest leaving some flexibility in your schedule if this flight is one of the main highlights of your trip. A weather cancellation is easier to handle when you have another day available. If you are in Davos for only one day, the risk is higher because a replacement date may not be possible.
The two-hour estimate also deserves room around it. The activity begins and ends at Brämabüelstrasse, but the listing does not promise a precise end time down to the minute. Plan your meals and onward transport with a little breathing space.
The pilot team and the tone of the flight
The names most closely associated with the experience are Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan. Their common strength is not showmanship. It is the ability to explain what is happening and keep the passenger comfortable.
That makes a real difference in tandem paragliding. A confident pilot can turn a worrying first few minutes into an enjoyable flight, while poor communication would make even beautiful scenery hard to appreciate. The feedback repeatedly points to clear instructions, friendly conversation, and strong professional standards.
Fabio and Damir are praised for making a second flight exceed expectations. Martin receives special credit for being attentive with a child and for helping a nervous passenger. Jan is described as an experienced guide during a two-person flight.
You cannot select a particular pilot from the supplied information, so do not book on the assumption that one named person is guaranteed. The broader message is encouraging: Air-Davos Paragliding has a team with a calm approach, rather than relying on one individual personality.
My verdict on this Alpine adventure
I would book this if you want a major memory from Davos and can accept the price. The shared flight for two is the key reason to choose it over a standard solo arrangement, and the included photos and video make the day easier to remember.
The activity is especially strong for first-timers. You receive a proper briefing, fly with a pilot, and get a private outing in English. The views of Davos and its mountain valleys provide the setting, while the pilots’ calm style helps keep the focus on enjoyment.
The main cautions are practical: pay for the cable car separately, check the weight and fitness rules, allow time for weather changes, and cancel at least 24 hours ahead if plans change. At 100 percent recommendation from 43 reviews and a five-star rating, the response is remarkably strong, but the price still means you should treat it as a planned splurge.
If you want a shared Alpine adventure with a lasting photo and video record, this is a strong choice. If you are watching every franc or need a guaranteed schedule, spend your budget elsewhere.
