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

The unusual part of this Davos outing is that two passengers can fly together, each under a separate tandem paraglider, so you and a partner or friend can share the same alpine moment instead of taking turns. I like the calm preflight briefing and the chance to chat with your pilot while floating above the valleys. The included photos and video are another strong point.

I also like that this is a private activity for your own group, with experienced pilots such as Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan handling the flying. The main catch is cost: at $503.51 per person, this is a major splurge, and you must pay separately for the cable car. Weather can also cancel the flight, so keep some flexibility in your schedule.

Key points to know before booking

• Two people can fly side by side, making this a fine choice for a birthday, anniversary, or shared Alpine adventure.
• Photos and a professionally edited video are included, rather than sold as an add-on afterward.
• Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan are among the pilots associated with the flights, and the feedback repeatedly praises their calm manner and clear instructions.
• The full experience takes about two hours, including the briefing and flight activity.
• Cable-car tickets and transport are extra, so budget beyond the headline price.
• Passenger weight must be between 20 and 125 kilograms, and a moderate level of fitness is expected.

Flying above Davos with someone beside you

Tandem paragliding gives you the thrill of flight without requiring a course or a long technical lesson. You sit in a harness with a trained pilot behind you, while the canopy carries you above Davos and the surrounding mountain valleys.

This particular experience adds a social twist. Two passengers are booked together and can fly side by side, each with a pilot. That matters because the best part of a special outing is often sharing the reaction. You can look across at your partner or friend, compare views, and enjoy the occasion together instead of explaining it later over dinner.

The flight is described as smooth, peaceful, and exciting rather than a rough amusement-park ride. That balance should appeal to first-time flyers. You get the sensation of soaring above the Alps, but your pilot remains responsible for the technical work.

The views are the main reason to book. From above, Davos, its valleys, and the surrounding peaks form one wide Alpine scene. You are not simply looking at a mountain from a trail or cable-car station. You are moving through the open air, with a changing view as the paraglider circles and glides.

A clear briefing before takeoff

The activity begins at Air-Davos Paragliding, at Brämabüelstrasse 11 in Davos. Before leaving the ground, your pilot gives you an in-depth explanation of takeoff and landing. This is important for nervous beginners. You do not need to arrive knowing how a paraglider works, but you do need to listen carefully and follow simple instructions.

The preflight talk also gives you time to meet your pilot and ask questions. Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan are specifically associated with the experience, and the strongest praise centers on their professionalism, calm attitude, and ability to make instructions easy to follow.

Takeoff can feel like the most dramatic moment. Your pilot will explain what to do, and you will need to cooperate with the start rather than freeze or sit back passively. The supplied information does not give a precise launch procedure, so your pilot’s directions on the day are the authority.

That personal briefing is one reason this works for a first flight. The activity is not presented as a rushed ride where you are pushed into the air with little explanation. You have a chance to understand the basic steps before the canopy lifts.

The flight itself: quiet air and big views

Once airborne, the pace changes. The descriptions from past participants emphasize a mix of peace and excitement, with plenty of time to look around and talk with the pilot. That makes the flight more than a quick thrill ride.

You can focus on the mountain views while your pilot manages the paraglider. The sight of Davos below and the surrounding peaks is likely to be the lasting memory. If you fly beside a partner or friend, the shared view adds something that a solo tandem flight cannot provide.

I also like the fact that the pilots may point out or discuss what you are seeing as you fly. The activity specifically encourages conversation with your pilot, so you are not left alone with your nerves or expected to understand the flight on your own.

The sensation may surprise you. Several descriptions focus on the peaceful, almost birdlike feeling of moving through the air. At the same time, this is still an adventure activity. You are high above the ground, and the start and landing require attention. If you want a completely passive sightseeing ride, this may feel more active than expected.

The flight time itself is not stated separately from the total duration, which is about two hours. Allow the full block of time for meeting, briefing, preparation, flight, and return to the meeting point rather than assuming two hours of continuous airtime.

Why the included photos and video matter

Air-Davos Paragliding includes photos and video of the experience. This is a meaningful part of the value because you cannot take good pictures while managing your own reaction to a first flight. Your hands and attention are better spent enjoying the view.

The supplied details indicate that the media can include both takeoff and landing, along with images from the flight and preflight moments. One particularly useful detail is that the edited video may arrive the same evening. That gives you a quick way to relive the outing and share it with family or friends.

This inclusion also changes the price calculation. At $503.51 per person, the outing is expensive. But if you were planning to pay separately for a photo package and video, the total cost elsewhere might be higher. Here, the media is part of the advertised package, not an optional purchase added at the end.

Still, do not book solely for the camera footage. Weather, lighting, and flight conditions affect what the final images look like. The real value is the flight itself. The photos and video are a welcome record, not a substitute for the experience.

A private outing for two

The activity is private, meaning only your group participates. For two people, that creates a more personal feel than joining a large mixed group. You can ask questions without worrying about holding up strangers, and the pilots can keep the focus on your shared outing.

The arrangement also suits a special occasion. The experience has been used as a birthday gift, and the side-by-side format works well for couples, close friends, or a parent and older child who meet the requirements.

The private format does not mean you control the flight schedule in every detail. Paragliding depends on safe weather and flying conditions. Your pilot has the final say on whether the activity can operate, and you should treat that judgment seriously.

The passenger rules are clear. Each participant must weigh between 20 and 125 kilograms, and a moderate level of fitness is expected. The activity is not recommended for children aged eight and under. One account describes an eight-year-old flying with careful support from Martin, but that does not change the stated age guidance. If you are booking for a child, confirm suitability directly before paying.

Price, timing, and what you still need to budget

The listed price is $503.51 per person. For two people, that puts the total above $1,000 before any cable-car costs or transport. This is not a casual add-on to a day in Davos. It is a premium experience and should be treated as one of the main events of your trip.

The price includes:

• Tandem paragliding
• A pilot for each passenger
• Paragliding equipment
• Photos and video of the experience

The cable-car ticket is not included. Transportation to and from attractions is also excluded. The meeting point is Brämabüelstrasse 11, 7270 Davos, and the activity ends back there, but you are responsible for reaching the start point and handling any transport connected with the outing.

That makes the meeting point an important planning detail. Give yourself enough time to get there without rushing. A late arrival could be especially stressful when you are already preparing for a flight.

The mobile ticket is convenient, and booking confirmation is provided at the time of booking. The activity is offered in English, which is useful if you want the briefing and safety directions in English.

Who will enjoy this most

I would recommend this to someone who wants a memorable Alpine experience rather than another standard mountain viewpoint. It fits a birthday, anniversary, honeymoon, family celebration, or once-in-a-lifetime trip to Davos.

It also suits first-time flyers. The pilots are repeatedly praised for being calm, friendly, professional, and clear. Those qualities matter more than flashy talk when you are standing at a takeoff point wondering if you have made a terrible decision.

Nervous passengers may find the experience easier than expected because the flight can be peaceful once you are airborne. You should still be honest with yourself about heights and open-air activity. Being nervous is fine. Refusing to follow instructions or panicking at takeoff is not helpful to you or the pilot.

This is less suitable if you need a fixed, no-change schedule. Weather can stop the flight, and the activity provider may offer another date or a full refund in that case. If your visit to Davos lasts only a few hours, you may not have enough flexibility for a replacement time.

It is also not the best choice if you are watching every franc. The price is high, and the cable car is extra. The included media and private format improve the value, but they do not make this a budget activity.

Weather and cancellation details

Paragliding is weather dependent. If poor conditions force a cancellation, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. That protection is useful, but it does not recover a lost day of sightseeing or other bookings, so avoid placing the flight immediately before a train or airport departure.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance are not refunded, and changes within that period are not accepted.

The local time in Davos controls the cut-off. If your plans change, act early rather than waiting until the morning of the flight.

What the experience feels like for nervous beginners

The strongest feature for a hesitant beginner is the human side of the activity. Pilots including Martin and Fabio are described as calm and friendly, while Damir and Jan are also praised for their experience and reassuring approach.

The briefing gives you a simple job: listen, follow directions, and let the pilot handle the flying. You do not need to steer the paraglider or learn a complicated set of controls.

Once in the air, you can talk with your pilot and focus on the views. That conversation helps turn the flight from an intimidating stunt into a guided experience. You might still feel a burst of nerves at takeoff, but the flight itself may feel quieter and more relaxed than you expect.

The experience is not risk-free, and no activity involving height and weather can promise that. What you are buying is a professionally operated tandem flight with equipment and a pilot provided, not a guarantee that you will feel fearless.

Is Air-Davos Paragliding worth booking?

I would book this if you want to share a genuine Alpine adventure with one other person and you value having photos and video included. The side-by-side format, private booking, clear briefing, and calm pilots make it especially attractive for first-time flyers and special occasions.

I would pause if the price would strain your budget, if you have no room for a weather change, or if you are uncomfortable with the physical requirements. Remember to add the cable car and your own transportation to the total.

For the right occasion, this is more memorable than simply riding up a mountain and taking a few pictures. You get the wide Davos views, the sensation of soaring, and a record of the day to take home. Just schedule it early enough in your visit to handle a weather change, and let the pilot’s safety judgment guide the final call.
