You can turn a nice day in Davos into a sky day. This Klosters paragliding experience is built for couples, so both of you rise into the air together with pilots right with you the whole time. The views over Davos are the headline, but what really makes it work is the pilot-led safety routine that starts before you ever leave the ground.

Two things I really like about this setup: you get a clear briefing on launch and landing procedures, and you also get time to steer the glider while you’re up there. One consideration: you’ll need decent weather, and there’s often an extra cost for the cable car ticket to reach the launch area.

Key Things You’ll Notice Right Away

• Couples-friendly timing: you’ll fly together, not on separate schedules
• Real safety coaching: briefing plus an onboard pilot throughout the ride
• You may steer the wing: not just a passenger experience
• Plenty of photo/video: enough to turn this into a real keepsake
• Prättigau village landing: you end in a Swiss mountain village area, not on some random hill

Setting the Stage in Klosters: Where the Day Starts

I like that this experience is simple on paper: it’s in Klosters, and it wraps back at the meeting point. The start address is Gotschnastrasse 19, 7250 Klosters Platz, Switzerland. From there, you’ll head toward the launch area with the rest of your time budget in mind.

Here’s the practical part you’ll want to plan for: the launch area is reached by cable car, and that’s not included. The extra is 35 USD per person for the cable car ticket. That means your real schedule depends on getting up and meeting the operator on time.

One planning detail that shows up in the experience feedback: the meeting point is commonly right down near the Jakobshornbahn area. That’s useful because it gives you a realistic chance to grab your cable car ticket before heading higher. Also, some people note the walk from the upper area to the actual departure point wasn’t long, so you’re not spending the whole day climbing stairs just to start flying.

Bottom line: give yourself a little buffer. This is the kind of activity where arriving early buys you calm, not stress.

Pre-Flight Briefing and Gear: The Part That Makes It Feel Safe

Paragliding can look intimidating from the ground. The best thing about this experience is that it treats that fear like a normal first reaction—and then handles it with structure.

You’ll get a detailed briefing that covers launch and landing procedures. Your pilot stays with you during the whole ride and explains what’s happening as you go. That matters because paragliding isn’t a button you press; it’s a system you trust, guided by someone who’s done it a lot.

You’ll also use the provided equipment, and you should expect the basics like helmet and gloves. In fact, some first-time flyers report they practiced the start on the slope a couple of times before going up. That sort of dry run is smart. It helps your body understand the motion, and it helps your brain relax before you’re actually airborne.

What this means for you: if you’re new to paragliding, you’re not being thrown in cold. You’re coached into it. If you’ve done it before, you still get a clear, focused routine that keeps the day efficient.

Stop One in the Mountains: The Launch Site Moment

The first part of the experience is the perfect launch site in an alpine mountain setting. In practical terms, this is where you’ll check in, confirm you’re ready, and follow your pilot’s instructions for the takeoff.

This stop is important for one simple reason: takeoff is the biggest “mental hurdle” for most people. A good operator keeps it straightforward. You’re not guessing where to stand or what to do. Your pilot is telling you what to do, and the experience is paced so you can listen and react rather than panic.

Also, because this is designed as a couples activity, it helps that both of you are going through the same moments at the same time. That shared experience can make a huge difference. Flying solo can feel intense. Flying together tends to feel like a planned adventure.

Up in the Air Over Davos: Views, Steering, and Thrill Moments

Now for the reason people sign up: incredible aerial views of Davos from the sky. Paragliding isn’t like looking at a postcard. It’s closer to floating above real terrain, with your sense of scale changing every few seconds.

The experience is tandem, so you’ll be flying with a pilot, and the operator specifically sets it up for couples so you ride together. That means you’re not stuck watching from the wrong seat while the other person flies. Your day is structured for both of you.

Here’s another big plus: you should get the chance to steer the glider. Even if steering isn’t a full pilot-style control session, getting to influence direction and feel how your actions affect the wing is a major upgrade from being only a passenger.

And yes, there can be thrilling maneuvers. That doesn’t mean it’s reckless. It means your pilot can bring in motion that makes the experience feel alive, not gentle sightseeing the whole time.

What I’d tell you to watch for while you’re up there:

• The way the view changes when you’re gliding versus moving through a turn
• How quickly you stop thinking and start noticing details
• The calm focus your pilot brings to timing, because that calm spreads to you

It’s one of those moments where the stress you brought with you has nowhere to live.

Stop Two: Landing in a Swiss Village in the Prättigau

After the thrill comes the part that matters most: landing. This experience includes landing procedures as part of the briefing, so you’re not meeting the ground with surprise.

You’ll finish at a Swiss village in the Prättigau area. That’s a nice touch because it keeps the day grounded in real Switzerland. You’re not landing somewhere that feels like an industrial work site. You end back in a village setting that fits the whole Alps vibe.

From a comfort perspective, landing procedures matter even more if you’re anxious before flying. Knowing you’ve practiced the basics and that your pilot is guiding the timing helps you relax through the final phase.

If you’re the type who likes closure, this is a good format: up, glide, and then a real landing back into the rhythm of the region.

Photo and Video Keepsakes: More Than Just a Memory

The title says video & photos, and the feedback points to the same thing: people come away feeling they got enough content to relive the flight.

Here’s why that matters. Paragliding is fast, and when you’re focused on flying (or holding on while you’re steering), you don’t want to waste time fiddling with your phone. A good operator captures you and the moment so your keepsake is actually usable.

If you’re booking for a couple, this is extra valuable. You’re not just doing an activity; you’re building a story you can share. You can also turn it into a gift moment—something one review basically described as a top-notch boyfriend gift.

Quick advice: if you’re bringing your own camera, keep it simple. The day is better when you’re present and your pilot is running the show.

Price and Value: What $397.56 Buys You

At $397.56 per person for about 2 hours (approx.), this is not a cheap “try it once” activity. But it’s also not priced like a random tourist ride.

What you’re paying for includes:

• A tandem paragliding ride
• A pilot (and the experience is arranged for couples flying together)
• Use of paragliding equipment
• Video and photos as part of the package

Then there’s the extra that you should budget for: the cable car ticket is 35 USD per person, and transportation to/from attractions isn’t included.

So is it worth it? For most people, yes—if you care about doing something that feels genuinely alive. You’re paying for the skills and safety system behind the flight, not just a view from a chair lift.

Also, the private tour format matters. This is a private activity, meaning only your group participates. That tends to make a big difference with an experience like this, where you want calm attention rather than feeling rushed.

Who This Fits Best (and Who Should Skip It)

This is a good match if you:

• Want a couples activity that feels special without being complicated
• Are okay being guided through a safety process
• Like the idea of steering and not just sitting there

A few key limits are spelled out. You should have moderate physical fitness. Passenger weight must be between 20 and 125 kg. And it’s not recommended for children aged 8 and under.

If you’re outside the weight range or you have concerns about moderate fitness, it’s worth thinking twice. And if you hate waiting for weather, remember: this experience requires good weather, so the plan can shift.

If you’re someone who gets nervous before flying, you’ll probably appreciate the briefing and the fact that pilots stay with you throughout.

Should You Book This Paragliding Adventure?

If you’re choosing between a sightseeing plan and something that feels like a once-in-a-while memory, I’d lean toward booking—especially for couples. The structure is solid: briefing, pilot support, tandem control moments, and real keepsakes in the form of photos and video.

Book it if:

• You want a safe, coached adrenaline experience
• You value a private, couples-focused format
• You’re prepared to pay the cable car add-on and work with the weather

Skip it if:

• Your schedule can’t flex if weather delays happen
• You don’t want to deal with the extra cost for reaching the launch area
• You’re outside the listed weight range or you can’t comfortably meet the moderate fitness requirement

Overall, this is one of those rare tourism activities where the value isn’t just the view. It’s the guidance, the coordination for couples, and the fact that you leave with footage you can actually enjoy later.
