Two people. One sky. Big Swiss Alps views.

This tandem paragliding experience with Air-Davos Paragliding is built around the small moments: a careful, in-depth briefing with your pilot about take-off and landing, then time to talk and soak up the valleys from above. I especially like that the flight is made for sharing—you and your partner or friend fly together, and the package includes photos and video so you can remember the day without chasing add-ons.

One thing to plan for: this experience depends on good weather. If the Alps aren’t cooperating, you’ll need flexibility because they’ll either offer another date or refund you.

Key things I’d want you to know before you fly

• Tandem paragliding for two passengers in the air together with an onboard pilot
• A briefing focused on take-off and landing, not just a quick rundown
• Pilot chat time during the flight, so it’s not only scenic silence
• Video and photos included (and often sent the same evening)
• Private experience for your group, not a mixed crowd
• Weight and fitness limits (20–125 kg, moderate fitness required)

Why Davos paragliding feels different than a typical adventure

Davos is the kind of mountain town where the views look like they were built for flying—wide valleys, steep ridgelines, and that clean, crisp high-alpine feeling. On the ground, it’s scenic. From the air, it turns into something else: scale, distance, and motion all at once.

What makes this paragliding option especially appealing is how much of it is about people, not just views. Your pilot doesn’t stay purely technical. You get time to chat mid-flight, and that changes the whole vibe. Instead of you gripping the harness and trying to interpret wing shapes, you can ask questions, listen to what’s happening, and actually enjoy the ride.

The experience also feels thoughtfully packaged for couples and close friends. You’re not doing a solo flight and hoping you’ll both get great photos. You’re sharing the same moment, and the operator includes images and video for both of you. That matters in practice. It’s the kind of activity where memory fade is real—wind noise, quick moments, and a blur of excitement. Having media included helps you keep a clear record of what you did.

The 2-hour tandem flight: from briefing to a smooth landing

The core experience is a tandem paragliding ride for two passengers, with the pilot handling the flying. Expect the day to center on one main flight segment over the Davos area, running about 2 hours in total time.

Here’s what the timing and flow usually feels like:

1) Start with the take-off and landing briefing

You’ll begin with an in-depth briefing with your pilot. This isn’t just safety talk. It’s focused on what you’ll feel during take-off and what to expect at landing, so you’re not mentally guessing your way through the most intense moments.

This matters because paragliding has a few “decision points” for your brain—when the wing lifts, when you commit to the air, when you prepare for touchdown. Clear instructions reduce the fear loop. And since you can talk with your pilot, it’s easier to translate what you’re feeling into something understandable.

2) Equipment and tandem setup

You’ll use the paragliding equipment provided by the operator. As a passenger, your job is to follow instructions and stay ready for movement. The good sign here is that the experience is designed for tandem flying, meaning you’re not expected to manage the wing or steering.

3) Flight time: sweeping views plus conversation

Once you’re up, the experience shifts into pure Alps-time. You’ll get sweeping alpine views, and you can chat with your pilot while you fly. From the feedback people leave, the flight often feels both peaceful and thrilling—serene enough to feel “wow,” exhilarating enough to remember forever.

4) Landing and wrap-up

Landing is part of what you were briefed on at the start. When the approach is explained clearly, the final minutes don’t feel chaotic. After you land, the activity ends back at the meeting point.

Meeting point at Brämabüelstrasse 11 and the logistics that can trip you up

You start and end at Brämabüelstrasse 11, 7270 Davos, Switzerland. That’s great for planning: you’re not dealing with a drop-off far away or a long trek afterward.

Two details to keep in mind:

• Cable car ticket is not included. If you need a cable car to reach the take-off area, you’ll pay that separately. The listing doesn’t specify how this particular route works on the day you go, so I’d plan for the possibility.
• Transportation to/from attractions is not included. In practice, that means you should arrange your own way to the meeting point and back.

Also, the experience language is English, and you get a mobile ticket. The operator sends confirmation at booking, which is helpful if you like your plans to feel locked in.

If you want this to feel stress-free, build in buffer time on the day of your flight—mountain weather shifts fast, and it’s easier to stay calm if you’re not racing a schedule.

Pilots like Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan make the difference

In paragliding, the pilot isn’t just a “driver.” They’re the person translating wind and conditions into a safe flight you can enjoy.

In this program, the most common names you’ll hear are Martin, Fabio, Damir, and Jan. Across the feedback, the consistent theme is how calm and clear the pilots are. People describe communication that’s simple, supportive, and confidence-building. Even folks who were nervous often say the instructions and calm attitude helped them enjoy it once they were in the air.

A pilot who makes you feel safe doesn’t take away the thrill. It makes the thrill usable.

If you’re the type who asks a lot of questions, this is a plus. Several experiences highlight the ability to talk during the flight—not just “sit still and hope,” but real interaction while you soar.

Photos and video included: the value win you’ll actually care about

Most paragliding operators charge extra for the media. Here, photos and videos are included in the price. That changes the math of the whole experience.

And the quality seems to be more than a quick phone capture. The feedback includes examples of pilots sending:

• lots of photos after the flight
• a beautifully edited video
• in some cases, delivery the same evening

That’s a real advantage. You don’t have to wonder whether you’ll remember your best angle. You don’t have to pay again because the moment happened to you, not to your camera.

So when you look at the price, don’t just compare “2 hours in the sky.” Compare “2 hours in the sky + a finished set of memories” included up front.

Price in plain numbers: what $503.51 per person buys you

At $503.51 per person for a tandem paragliding ride, this isn’t a budget activity. But it can still feel like good value when you break down what’s part of the package:

• tandem paragliding ride for two passengers
• pilots
• use of paragliding equipment
• photos and video included (per the experience notes you’re given)

Then subtract the likely add-ons you might need:

• cable car ticket (not included)
• transportation (not included)

For many people, the inclusion of media is the biggest practical difference. If you were likely to buy photos anyway, the bundled approach can make this feel less like a splurge and more like a complete experience.

If you’re traveling on a couple’s trip, this also has a strong “shareable value.” One pilot, one flight, two people, and media that shows both of you.

Who should book this tandem flight (and who should hold off)

This is set up for adults and older kids, with clear limits:

• Moderate physical fitness level is required
• passenger weight between 20 and 125 kg
• not recommended for children aged 8 and under
• it’s a private tour/activity for your group

So if you or your partner are in that weight range and you can handle basic physical effort, you’re a good match.

If you’re nervous, you’re also not “wrong” for this. The experience seems to work well for first-timers who need reassurance. In fact, many people mention that clear communication and calm pilots helped them enjoy it even when they were afraid at the start.

If you’re outside the weight limits, have very limited mobility, or you’re unsure about physical requirements, it’s worth checking before you commit.

Weather rules in the Alps: how to keep calm if plans change

This activity requires good weather. That’s not a small detail in Davos—it’s the whole game.

If conditions aren’t right, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. And you can cancel for free up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.

Practically, that means your best strategy is simple: don’t schedule this as the one thing you can’t move. Treat it like the Alps treat it—dependent on the sky.

If you’re staying in the area for a few days, you’ll have an easier time finding a workable slot.

A few realistic tips to make your flight feel smoother

I can’t guarantee wind or timing, but you can control your mindset and prep.

Here’s what I’d do before you go:

• Come ready for an in-depth briefing. Ask questions about the take-off and landing moments. If you understand what’s coming, fear drops.
• Plan to follow your pilot’s cues quickly. Tandem paragliding depends on coordination, and you’ll be safer and calmer when you trust the instructions.
• Leave room for a reschedule. If the weather changes, you don’t want your whole trip to hinge on one exact hour.

Once you’re in the air, the best “strategy” is to engage with the experience: look where your pilot points, listen while you talk, and let the views do their job.

Should you book this two-person paragliding flight in Davos?

If you want a memorable Swiss Alps experience that feels personal—shared with your partner or friend, guided by calm professionals, and delivered with photos and video included—this is a strong choice.

I’d especially recommend it if:

• you’re celebrating something and want real keepsakes without extra fees
• you want a first-time-friendly tandem flight with clear instruction
• you’d like a private experience with your own group
• you’re flexible with weather timing

I’d hold off if:

• you can’t adapt to a weather-related reschedule
• you’re not in the specified weight/fitness range
• you don’t want to potentially pay for a cable car ticket (since it isn’t included)

Bottom line: for the money, the included media and the tandem, together-in-the-air format make this feel like more than a one-off thrill. It’s a complete package—sky time plus lasting proof of what you did.
