DAVOS: Paragliding For 2 Passengers – Together In The Air! (Video&Photos Incl.)

See Davos from a very different angle. Air-Davos Paragliding gives you and a partner or friend the chance to fly side by side above the Swiss Alps, with an experienced pilot handling the wing while you take in the views. I like the private two-person format, and I especially like that photos and a finished video are included rather than sold as an extra.

The experience also begins with a proper briefing on takeoff and landing, which is important if this is your first flight. Pilots such as Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan have earned strong praise for calm guidance and clear instructions. The main point to consider is cost: at $503.51 per person, this is a major splurge, and you must pay separately for the cable car.

This is a weather-dependent mountain activity, so your schedule needs some flexibility. You also need to reach the meeting point at Brämabüelstrasse 11 in Davos on your own. For many people, though, the chance to fly together and receive a complete set of photos and video makes this more than a standard sightseeing ride.

Key points to know before you book

• You fly side by side with another passenger: This is designed for two people who want to share the moment in the air, not simply book separate activities at different times.

• Photos and video are included: Air-Davos provides images and a professionally edited video of the flight, including takeoff and landing scenes.

• The briefing covers takeoff and landing: You receive clear instructions before the flight, a useful feature for anyone feeling nervous.

• The pilot controls the equipment: Your tandem pilot flies the paraglider while you follow simple directions and enjoy the views.

• The price does not include the cable car: Budget for that separate transport cost, as well as your journey to and from the meeting point.

• Weather can change the plan: Poor conditions may lead to a new date or a full refund, but a last-minute change can affect a tightly planned holiday schedule.

What the Davos flight is really like

Tandem paragliding is a good way to try human flight without needing technical training. You are attached to a qualified pilot, seated in the tandem harness, and carried by a large fabric wing. Your job is mainly to listen, move when asked, and enjoy the ride.

The Davos setting adds real drama. From the air, you can look across the town, valleys, and surrounding mountain peaks rather than seeing the Alps only from a trail or cable-car platform. The flight gives you time to watch the scenery change as you move above the slopes, and you can talk with your pilot during the ride.

That last detail matters. A first flight can feel strange at first, especially during the run toward takeoff. Having a calm pilot beside you gives the experience a social, reassuring feel instead of leaving you alone with your nerves.

The two-person setup is the special feature here. You and your companion fly in separate tandem paragliders, but the point is to be in the air together. You can share the same broad view and have photographs taken of both of you among the peaks. That makes this a strong choice for a birthday, anniversary, or shared holiday memory.

Meeting the pilots at Brämabüelstrasse 11

Your activity starts at Brämabüelstrasse 11, 7270 Davos, and finishes back at the same meeting point. You need to arrange your own transportation to the starting location. The listed experience does not include transportation to attractions or the cable car ticket.

The meeting point matters because the flight depends on mountain access and local weather. Give yourself enough time to find the address and get organized before the briefing. Since this is a private activity, only your group participates, which can make the start feel more personal and less rushed than a large group excursion.

The activity lasts about two hours. That does not mean every minute is spent in the air. Allow time for meeting the pilot, receiving instructions, preparing equipment, getting to the launch area, flying, and returning to the meeting point. If you are planning another timed activity afterward, leave a generous gap.

Air-Davos offers the experience in English. If you are visiting Davos from abroad, that removes one common worry. You should still listen carefully to every instruction, especially the parts about takeoff and landing.

The briefing: the part nervous beginners should value

Before you fly, your pilot explains how takeoff and landing work. This is not filler. It is where you learn what to do with your feet, how to respond to the pilot, and what to expect as the paraglider leaves the ground.

Several pilots receive praise for being calm, friendly, and clear. Martin is often singled out for helping nervous passengers feel at ease, while Fabio, Damir, and Jan are also described as professional and reassuring. You should not expect a technical aviation lecture, but you can expect practical directions aimed at getting you safely through the key moments.

If you feel frightened, say so early. One passenger who was very nervous still found the flight enjoyable after working with the pilot. That is useful advice: you do not need to arrive as an adventure expert. You do need to be honest about your comfort level and pay attention to the briefing.

The physical demands are moderate. You may need to walk and follow instructions during preparation, takeoff, and landing. The provider recommends a moderate fitness level, so this is not the right choice if you cannot manage those basic movements.

Takeoff and the first seconds above Davos

Takeoff is usually the moment that creates the most uncertainty for a first-time passenger. You will need to follow the pilot’s directions closely, particularly when moving forward with the wing. The exact feeling can vary with conditions, so it is best not to expect a fixed, scripted launch.

Once airborne, the mood often changes. The flight can feel peaceful as well as exciting. You are not operating the paraglider, so you have the freedom to look outward instead of concentrating on instruments or controls.

The view is the main attraction. You see Davos from above, with the surrounding valleys and mountain peaks spread out around you. It is a very different experience from looking across the Alps from a roadside viewpoint. The height gives you a sense of the town’s setting and the scale of the mountains around it.

Your pilot remains beside you throughout the tandem flight. You can chat during the ride, ask questions, or simply stay quiet and watch the scenery. That flexibility is helpful for couples or friends who want different levels of conversation.

Flying together instead of taking turns

Many tandem activities put two people in the same general program but not necessarily in the air at the same time. This experience focuses on flying two passengers together. That small distinction makes a big difference for a shared occasion.

You and your partner can look across at each other while flying in the mountain air, and the included photography is intended to capture both of you. It turns the outing into something you can remember together rather than two separate rides with one person waiting on the ground.

This format also suits a parent and older child, though the published guidance says the activity is not recommended for children aged eight and under. Passenger weight must be between 20 and 125 kilograms. These limits apply to each passenger, so check them before booking.

The activity is private for your group. You are not sharing the flight experience with a busload of strangers, though each passenger still flies with a separate pilot. This is particularly appealing if you are celebrating something or simply want a quieter outing.

Photos and video included in the price

The photo and video package is one of the strongest practical features. Air-Davos includes images and video of the flight, with footage covering takeoffs, the time in the air, and landings. You also receive pre-flight photos in at least some cases.

The finished video is more useful than a few random snapshots. It gives you a record of the full experience, including the moment you prepare to fly and the return to the ground. One passenger received the photos and an edited video on the same evening, though you should treat that as an example rather than a guaranteed delivery time.

This inclusion changes the value calculation. A flight priced at $503.51 per person remains expensive, but you are not also facing a separate charge for the usual photo package. For a special occasion, the saved cost and convenience may make the price easier to accept.

You should still ask the operator if the exact delivery timing matters to you. The supplied information confirms that photos and video are included, but it does not promise a fixed format, number of images, or delivery schedule for every booking.

Is $503.51 per person good value?

At $503.51 each, this is not a casual add-on for most holidays. Two people would pay more than $1,000 before the cable car ticket and any transport costs. You should look at it as a premium, private Alpine activity rather than a low-cost way to see Davos.

The value improves in several ways. You get tandem pilots, equipment, a private booking for your group, a flight for two people at the same time, and photos and video included. The experience also combines scenery, excitement, and a lasting record, which is why it can work well as a birthday or anniversary gift.

The value is weaker if you mainly want a quick scenic viewpoint. Davos has other ways to see the mountains, and those will cost less. You are paying for the sensation of flight, the pilot’s attention, the shared format, and the memory package.

I would ask yourself three questions before booking:

• Do you both genuinely want to try paragliding?
• Are you comfortable paying separately for mountain transport?
• Would you pay extra for a shared experience and professional-looking photos and video?

If the answer is yes to all three, the price may feel justified. If one person is only agreeing out of pressure, the cost becomes harder to defend.

Weather, safety, and the need for flexibility

Paragliding requires suitable weather. If poor conditions force cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. This is a fair policy, but it does mean you should avoid scheduling the flight on the final morning of a short visit if missing it would spoil your plans.

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 ahead are not refunded, and late changes are not accepted. The cut-off uses Davos local time.

The experience has a passenger weight range of 20 to 125 kilograms and a moderate fitness requirement. It is not recommended for children aged eight and under. These rules are practical screening details, not minor footnotes, so check them before you commit.

The pilots’ calm manner is a repeated strength. Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan are praised for clear communication and professional conduct. That does not remove the normal risks and sensations of a mountain flight, but it can make a first attempt feel manageable.

Who will enjoy Air-Davos most?

This outing is best for couples, close friends, and family members who want to share a memorable activity. It also suits a first-time flyer who wants a pilot to handle the technical work and explain each stage in plain language.

It is a particularly good fit for:

• A birthday or anniversary surprise
• Two friends visiting Davos together
• Nervous beginners who want calm pilot support
• People who care about keeping photos and video
• Visitors with enough time to adjust plans if the weather changes

It may not suit you if you dislike heights, have limited mobility, fall outside the weight range, or need a guaranteed start time. The activity also requires you to budget beyond the headline price because the cable car and transportation are not included.

Practical tips for a smoother day

Arrive prepared to listen. The briefing is short but important, and clear communication makes the takeoff and landing easier.

Wear clothing suitable for an outdoor mountain activity. The supplied information does not specify a required outfit, so avoid assuming that ordinary city clothing will be ideal. You should also plan for changing mountain conditions without adding bulky items that could interfere with the harness.

Keep your schedule open around the two-hour duration. The listed time is approximate, and mountain activities can take longer when access, preparation, or weather conditions change.

If you are booking this as a gift, tell the recipient that the flight is weather-dependent. A surprise is more enjoyable when the person knows that a new date may be needed.

Finally, confirm the cable car arrangements before the day of the flight. That ticket is not included, and you do not want to discover the extra cost or transport details at the last moment.

Should you book this Davos paragliding experience?

I would book Air-Davos if you and a companion want a genuine shared Alpine adventure and are comfortable with the price. The private format, experienced pilots, clear briefing, and included photos and video give it more substance than a simple thrill ride.

I would skip it if you are looking for a cheap scenic outing or if your Davos schedule cannot absorb a weather change. For everyone else, this is one of those activities that can give a mountain holiday a clear centerpiece. You may arrive nervous, but with a calm pilot such as Martin, Fabio, Damir, or Jan beside you, the flight has a good chance of becoming the story you keep telling after you leave Switzerland.
