Paragliding in Davos feels like grabbing a front-row seat to the Alps. This one is built for two people flying together with a pilot, plus take-home photos and video included. The best part is how personal it feels, not like a rushed ride.

I especially like the in-depth briefing before you launch, covering takeoff and landing so you understand what is happening. I also love that the pilots keep things friendly and talk with you during the flight, which turns nerves into focus.

One thing to keep in mind is the weather. This activity requires good weather, so it can shift to another date (or you get a full refund).

What This Paragliding Trip Is Really Like in Davos

DAVOS: Paragliding For 2 Passengers - Together In The Air! (Video&Photos Incl.) - What This Paragliding Trip Is Really Like in Davos
Davos is the kind of place where the mountains are close enough to feel real. When you’re above them on a tandem paraglider, you do not just see peaks, you feel the scale. Your job is mostly to be ready, listen, and enjoy the ride. Your pilot does the technical work.

This experience runs about 2 hours total, and it is designed around one main event: your tandem paragliding flight together. Because it is private, you are not competing with a long crowd schedule or sharing your launch moment with strangers. You and your pilot get the attention you need, especially helpful if one of you is a bit anxious.

The setting starts at Brämabüelstrasse 11, 7270 Davos, and the activity ends back at the same meeting point. That keeps logistics simpler than tours that have you dropped somewhere far away.

Tandem for Two, Together in the Air

DAVOS: Paragliding For 2 Passengers - Together In The Air! (Video&Photos Incl.) - Tandem for Two, Together in the Air
Let’s talk about the best setup: two passengers who fly together in a tandem arrangement. That means you are sharing the same view, the same landing approach, and the same moment when the air catches your paraglider.

In the reviews, a common theme is how calm and professional the pilots are. Names that show up again and again include Fabio, Damir, Martin, and Jan. Different people, same result: clear communication and a vibe that helps you trust the plan.

If you are going as a couple, this format is ideal because it feels like a shared memory, not two separate “who went first” stories. If you are going with a friend, it is also a great bonding activity, since you can both react in real time to what you see.

The Pre-Flight Briefing That Reduces Nerves

DAVOS: Paragliding For 2 Passengers - Together In The Air! (Video&Photos Incl.) - The Pre-Flight Briefing That Reduces Nerves
Paragliding can be intimidating if you have never done it before. What helps here is the way the flight is explained in advance.

Before you launch, you get an in-depth briefing that covers takeoff and landing with your pilot. That matters more than you might think. When you know what comes next, you spend less energy guessing, and you can actually pay attention to the views.

The pilots also keep the tone friendly. Multiple flights described pilots as professional but easygoing, with communication that stays clear and simple. You should expect to hear what you need to do, when you need to brace, and how the landing will feel.

If you are nervous, this is the sweet spot of the experience. You are not thrown into the air with zero context. You get instruction, then you fly.

The Flight Experience: Smooth, Scenic, and a Bit Thrilling

Once you are airborne, the vibe shifts fast. Reviewers describe the flight as smooth and unforgettable, with breathtaking views of Davos and the valleys around it. One person even compared the feeling to soaring like an eagle, with a mix of peaceful and exhilarating.

What I like about this part is that it is not only about sightseeing. You also get something practical out of the pilot interaction. You can chat and ask questions during the flight, so you are not just staring down and hoping everything stays fine. The pilot becomes your moving guide for what you are seeing.

You are also likely to fly in a way that prioritizes comfort. Reviews mention calm guidance and confidence from pilots who know what they are doing. That combination is what turns “I am scared” into “I am glad I did it.”

Photos and Video Included, Plus a Nice Extra

DAVOS: Paragliding For 2 Passengers - Together In The Air! (Video&Photos Incl.) - Photos and Video Included, Plus a Nice Extra
This tour markets itself with video and photos included, and the details in the feedback back that up. People mention receiving photos of both takeoff and flight moments, and a well-edited professional video.

More importantly for value, this often avoids the usual add-on trap. Some paragliding operators charge extra for media, so the included package can make the total cost feel more reasonable.

One review specifically highlighted receiving dozens of photos and an edited video the same evening after the flight. Even if your timing varies, the key point is consistent: you are not left with blurry shots and a generic memory card. You leave with something you can actually show friends later.

Price and Value: $503.51 Per Person for a Real Two-Person Memory

At $503.51 per person, you should treat this as a premium experience. You are paying for the pilot team, tandem equipment, and the time needed for a safe flight, plus the media package.

Here is why it can feel like good value:

  • The photos and video are included, which can offset common extra fees elsewhere.
  • You get a private activity for your group, so you are not shoved into a giant, stressful lineup.
  • The pilot experience is a big deal in a sport like this, and you are buying that expertise directly.

What might make it feel expensive is if you are only chasing the view and not interested in the included media. If you do not care about photos or video, the price may feel less attractive. But for birthdays, anniversaries, or “we only get one trip here” moments, the included content helps you capture something hard to recreate later.

What You Should Plan For (and What You Can’t Control)

DAVOS: Paragliding For 2 Passengers - Together In The Air! (Video&Photos Incl.) - What You Should Plan For (and What You Can’t Control)
Even with the best pilot and briefing, paragliding is weather dependent. The operator notes that it requires good weather. If the flight cannot happen due to conditions, you should expect either a different date offer or a full refund.

So plan with a mindset like this:

  • If your schedule is tight, understand the weather piece is real.
  • If you have flexibility, this becomes much easier because you can shift to a better moment in the forecast.

Also note what is not included. The cable car ticket is not included, and transportation to or from attractions is not included. That does not mean you cannot do it smoothly, but it does mean you should budget time and money to get to the meeting point and possibly reach the start area if you need the lift.

Meeting Point and Timing: Simple, But Still Arrive Ready

DAVOS: Paragliding For 2 Passengers - Together In The Air! (Video&Photos Incl.) - Meeting Point and Timing: Simple, But Still Arrive Ready
You meet at Brämabüelstrasse 11, 7270 Davos, Switzerland, and the activity ends back there. That is straightforward, and it keeps you from needing to figure out a final pickup point.

Your flight is part of a total 2 hours (approx.) experience. The time window can feel a little tight if you are rushing from other activities, especially in mountain weather. I would treat this as a “block out time” booking, not a “fit it between trains” plan.

Since the experience requires moderate physical fitness, it helps to arrive feeling capable. Also remember the passenger weight range: 20 to 125 kg.

Who This Paragliding Flight Suits Best

This is a strong fit if:

  • You want a shared experience for two people, not solo thrills.
  • You care about getting real photos and video included.
  • You want clear instruction and calm guidance, especially if you are new to the sport.

It might not be the best match if:

  • You are trying to do it with very tight timing and no flexibility, because weather can affect scheduling.
  • You are outside the weight range.
  • You or your partner is looking for a long, walking-heavy “adventure trek” day, since the main event is the flight, not hiking.

The activity also notes it is not recommended for child aged 8 and under. If you are bringing kids, you’ll want to check age and comfort with the operator beforehand.

Should You Book This Davos Tandem Paragliding?

If you are choosing between “a view” and “a memory you can replay,” I think this is the type of booking that wins. The combination of:

  • tandem flight for two,
  • a real takeoff and landing briefing,
  • and video and photos included

is a rare mix.

Book it if you want your Alps moment to feel organized, personal, and safe-feeling, with pilots like Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan bringing both competence and a relaxed approach. If the idea of paragliding cameras and edited video is what you want most, you are already getting that value up front.

Pass or rethink if weather timing will make you miserable. Treat the forecast as a co-pilot here.
