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

Take to the Alps by air. This Klosters tandem flight gives you a rare way to see Davos and the Prättigau from above, with two pilots flying two passengers at the same time. I like the shared flight for couples, and I also like that beginners get a safety briefing, launch practice, and a pilot beside them throughout.

The main drawback is cost. At $397.56 per person, this is a serious splurge, and you still pay about $35 per person for the cable car. Weather can also cancel the flight, so you need some flexibility in your schedule.

Key points before you book

• Two passengers fly together: You and your partner can be in the air at the same time with two pilots, rather than taking turns watching from the ground.
• The flight begins near a mountain summit: The launch area is directly below the top, so there is little walking once you reach the upper station.
• Davos looks different from above: You get broad views over Davos, Klosters, and the Prättigau valley, not just a quick glimpse from a lift.
• Beginners receive hands-on preparation: The pilot explains launch and landing procedures, and the takeoff motion is practiced on the slope.
• Photos and video are included: You do not have to choose between enjoying the flight and trying to document every second.
• The activity is private: Only your own group participates, which suits couples marking a birthday, anniversary, or other special event.

Why this flight feels special in Klosters

Klosters is a Swiss mountain village in the Prättigau region, close to Davos but with its own quieter character. The experience begins at Gotschnastrasse 19 in Klosters Platz, near the Jakobshornbahn area according to the meeting information supplied for the activity.

The appeal is simple: you are not just looking at the Alps from a restaurant terrace or cable car window. You are suspended in the open air, with the valley spread below and the mountain slopes forming the launch setting. That change in viewpoint is the whole point.

I especially like the fact that this is designed for two people. Many adventure activities make one person wait while the other takes a turn. Here, you and your companion can share the same moment from separate tandem paragliders, each with a pilot.

That arrangement matters for couples. You can wave to one another in the air, compare what you saw afterward, and enjoy the unusual feeling of celebrating together while still having your own flight.

Meeting at Klosters Platz and reaching the launch site

The official start point is Gotschnastrasse 19, 7250 Klosters Platz, Switzerland. The activity ends back at the same meeting point, so you do not need to arrange a separate return from the landing area.

You should allow time to reach the meeting point and handle the cable car ticket before the scheduled activity. The cable car is not included and costs about $35 per person. One useful timing detail is that the meeting arrangement near the Jakobshornbahn allowed enough time to buy the ticket before going up.

That may sound minor, but it is the sort of detail that can prevent a rushed start. Arrive early, especially if you are unfamiliar with the station or need to collect your ticket. The activity itself lasts about two hours, but the cable car ride and meeting process are part of the practical time you need to allow.

The launch area is directly below the summit, which keeps the walk short once you reach the upper mountain. That is good news if you are carrying a small bag or simply want to save your energy for the flight.

Transportation to and from other attractions is not included. You need to make your own way to Klosters Platz, and the cable car cost comes separately. The mobile ticket is convenient, but it does not remove those extra costs.

Preparing for takeoff with your pilot

You do not need previous paragliding experience. A pilot accompanies you from the briefing through landing, explains the safety steps, and handles the technical side of the flight.

The preparation includes instructions for launch and landing. The takeoff is not a running jump from a cliff, but you do need to follow the pilot’s directions and move correctly as the glider catches the air. The supplied experience details indicate that the takeoff motion is practiced twice on the slope before the actual launch.

That practice is valuable. It gives you a feel for the harness, the pace of the start, and the simple movements you need to make. You can also ask questions before leaving the ground, when your head is clear and your feet are still on solid earth.

Helmets and gloves are provided. You should still dress for cool mountain conditions and wear sensible footwear, since the activity requires a moderate level of physical fitness. The exact clothing list is not specified, so the safest approach is to dress comfortably for an alpine setting and follow the pilot’s instructions.

The pilots are described as friendly and punctual, which helps settle first-flight nerves. A good pilot does more than steer. The pilot keeps the briefing calm, tells you what to expect, and lets you enjoy the view rather than worry about every movement of the glider.

The launch below the summit

The launch site is one of the strongest parts of the experience. You start in an alpine setting high above the village, close to the summit but just below the top. That gives you immediate access to broad views and avoids a long hike to the departure point.

The exact flight path can vary with weather and conditions, so you should not expect a fixed sightseeing route. The appeal is the changing view as the glider moves over the mountain slopes and valley.

Takeoff is likely the most active part. You need to listen carefully, move when told, and keep your attention on the pilot’s instructions. Once the glider is airborne, the experience becomes less about effort and more about looking outward.

If you are nervous, remember that your pilot is with you throughout. The activity is tandem paragliding, not a solo lesson. You are there to experience the flight, not to master the equipment in two hours.

Views over Davos and the Prättigau valley

From the air, the Swiss village scenery takes on a different scale. Davos spreads across the valley, while Klosters and the Prättigau area show how settlements fit between steep mountain slopes.

The views are the main reward for paying the price. A normal cable car ride gives you a pleasant trip upward, but paragliding changes your sense of distance and height. You are not looking through a window or from a crowded platform. The air is open around you.

This is also where the activity feels most personal. You can take in the view at your own pace while the pilot manages the flight. If conditions permit, you may be invited to steer the glider for a short time. That gives you a taste of the controls without placing responsibility for the flight on your shoulders.

The offer of steering is especially appealing to anyone who wants more than a passive scenic ride. You can try the sensation of guiding the canopy, then hand control back to the pilot. If you would rather simply enjoy the scenery, the pilot remains in charge.

Gentle cruising and thrilling maneuvers

The flight is not limited to quiet gliding. You may also experience thrilling maneuvers, depending on conditions and what you are comfortable with. This adds an optional adventure element to the scenic flight.

That balance is important. Paragliding can be peaceful one moment and exciting the next. A couple looking for a special occasion may appreciate the mixture of calm mountain views, the unusual sensation of floating, and a few more energetic turns.

You should tell the pilot how adventurous you want the flight to be. The supplied information does not promise a specific set of maneuvers, so conditions and personal comfort matter. A good plan is to enjoy the steady flight first, then decide if you want more movement.

The experience works for both beginners and experienced paragliders. For a first-timer, the pilot provides the structure and safety guidance. For someone with previous experience, the chance to steer and enjoy the mountain air may make the flight feel less like a basic introduction.

Why the included photos and video matter

Photos and video are included, and that adds real value here. During a tandem flight, your hands and attention are better spent following instructions and looking at the Alps than trying to hold up a phone.

The media also gives you a record of the experience from the air. You can share the views afterward without turning the flight into a photography project. The amount of footage and the exact delivery method are not specified, so check those details when booking if they matter to you.

This feature is particularly useful for a birthday or anniversary surprise. The flight itself lasts only about two hours from start to finish, but the photos and video help preserve the memory after the holiday ends.

The activity has also been used as a memorable gift for a partner. That makes sense, provided the recipient is comfortable with heights, mountain conditions, and a little adventure.

Price, extra costs, and overall value

The listed price is $397.56 per person, or about $795.12 for two people before the cable car tickets. Add roughly $70 for two cable car rides, and the combined cost reaches about $865 for the pair, before any other personal expenses.

That is not a casual afternoon activity. You are paying for a private experience, two pilots, tandem equipment, the flight, and included photos and video. You are also paying for the setting, the preparation, and the convenience of having the flight arranged around your group.

I think the value is strongest for a special occasion. If you simply want a low-cost way to see Davos, the cable car alone will be far cheaper. If you want an experience that becomes one of the main stories of your Swiss trip, the higher price is easier to justify.

The private format is another point in its favor. Only your own group participates, so you do not share the activity with a large party. For two people, that privacy can make the experience feel more polished and more personal.

Still, you should check your budget carefully. The cable car is an extra charge, and the flight depends on good weather. A free cancellation policy protects you if the provider cancels for poor conditions, but a weather change can still disrupt your day.

Who will enjoy this most

I would recommend this experience to couples who want a strong shared memory rather than another standard mountain excursion. It suits birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, and other occasions when you are willing to spend more for something unusual.

It is also a good choice for first-time paragliders who want guidance from start to finish. The briefing, practice starts, equipment, and pilot support remove much of the uncertainty for a beginner.

Experienced paragliders may enjoy it too, especially since the pilot may allow some steering and add exciting maneuvers. Just remember that this is a tandem sightseeing adventure, not a technical training course.

The experience is not recommended for children aged eight and under. Passenger weight must be between 20 and 125 kilograms, and all participants should have a moderate level of physical fitness.

You also need to be comfortable with the basic demands of takeoff, height, and landing. The pilot manages the flight, but you still need to listen, move when instructed, and take part in the start and finish.

Weather, timing, and cancellation details

Paragliding depends on safe flying conditions. If poor weather causes cancellation, you are offered a different date or a full refund. That makes it wise to book early enough in your trip that you have room to reschedule.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the local start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the activity are not refunded, and late changes are not accepted.

Because of that rule, avoid placing the flight on the final morning of your holiday. Give yourself another day if possible. You will also have a better chance of moving the booking if mountain weather changes.

The activity lasts approximately two hours, but you should not treat that as your total door-to-door commitment. Include the journey to Klosters Platz, the cable car, the briefing, and the return to the meeting point when planning your day.

Should you book Klosters paragliding for two?

Book it if you want a private, high-impact Alpine experience and can accept the price, extra cable car fee, and weather risk. The strongest reasons are the simultaneous flight for two, the launch site below the summit, the wide views over Davos, and the included photos and video.

I would skip it if you are looking for a cheap sightseeing activity, dislike heights, or have a tight schedule with no room for weather changes. For everyone else, this is a memorable way to experience Klosters and Davos from a viewpoint no cable car can match.
