Paragliding · Davos-Klosters
How to choose
All 6 paragliding flights in Davos-Klosters run 2h and are open to everyone, no experience required. Prices split into two tiers: the entry point sits at 189 CHF for the Air Davos Gotschnagrat departure, while five other flights cluster at 209 CHF. Two launch sites define your choice: the Jakobshorn above Davos and the Gotschnagrat above Klosters, both delivering alpine ridge thermals and sweeping views over the Landwasser valley. Air Davos operates in German and English. Joyride Paragliding adds French, which matters if you're booking for a mixed-language group. Season runs May through September for summer flights, with dedicated winter departures also available. Pick the 189 CHF Gotschnagrat option to save 20 CHF with no trade-off on duration, or go Jakobshorn if you want the higher-altitude launch point above Davos town.

Frequently asked questions
How long are you actually in the air?
The total booking is 2h, which includes the cable car ride up, pre-flight briefing and gearing up. Actual airtime depends on thermals and wind conditions on the day, so your pilot will maximize it within the flight window.
What's the most intense moment of the flight?
Launch. You run a few steps off the ridge and you're instantly weightless over a vertical alpine drop. After that, the flight settles into long gliding arcs over the valley before the final landing approach.
Do you need to be fit or sporty to do this?
No. Every flight listed is rated 'Everybody welcome', meaning no fitness level or prior experience is required. You sit in a harness the entire flight and your pilot handles everything.
What's the difference between the Jakobshorn and the Gotschnagrat launches?
The Jakobshorn is located directly above Davos and is the more iconic departure point in the area. The Gotschnagrat sits above Klosters, a quieter village about 10 km away. Both are high-altitude alpine launches.
Can you fly in winter?
Yes. Joyride Paragliding runs dedicated winter tandem flights from both Davos and Klosters at 209 CHF. Flying over a snow-covered alpine landscape is a different visual experience from the summer green season.
Is the 189 CHF flight the same experience as the 209 CHF ones?
Duration and format are identical at 2h. The price difference comes down to the operator and the launch site. The 189 CHF slot is the Gotschnagrat departure with Air Davos, which is 20 CHF cheaper with no reduction in flight time.

Practical info
Equipment
Dress in warm, wind-resistant layers regardless of the season: temperatures drop sharply at altitude above Davos-Klosters even in July. All flights are 2h total, so bring sunglasses and sunscreen for the ridge exposure. The harness and helmet are provided by the operator.
Getting there
Flights depart from two cable car base stations: the Gotschna Bergbahn in Klosters (Gotschnastrasse 19) and the Jakobshorn cable car station adjacent to Davos main railway station, both reachable directly by train on the Rhaetian Railway line from Chur.
