You stand on the rim of Gotschnagrat as the ridge wind teases the wing, the valley below opening into a checkerboard of pastures and dark conifer slopes. The pilot runs a short, practiced sprint; the wing fills and lifts you free. For 15–35 minutes the Swiss air carries you above Davos-Klosters, the mountain faces close enough to read the striations in the rock and the streams daring you to follow their descent.

You stand on the rim of Gotschnagrat as the ridge wind teases the wing, the valley below opening into a checkerboard of pastures and dark conifer slopes. The pilot runs a short, practiced sprint; the wing fills and lifts you free. For 15–35 minutes the Swiss air carries you above Davos-Klosters, the mountain faces close enough to read the striations in the rock and the streams daring you to follow their descent.
This stretch of the Rätikon and Plessur ranges records ice ages in sharp ridgelines and glacial bowls. Klosters grew from alpine farming hamlets to a mountain resort in the 19th century; today its culture mixes pastoral traditions with winter-sports hospitality, and paragliding sits neatly between those worlds—launching from ski ridges used year-round.
Expect clear geology: metamorphic gneiss and schist underfoot, wind-exposed ridgelines that make predictable thermals late morning. Local pilots (Air-Davos Paragliding operate many flights) brief you on safety, attach the tandem harness, then work with local wind windows for a clean launch.
Practical guidance: plan for a two-hour outing that includes transport, briefing and 15–35 minutes of airtime. Wear ankle-support hiking shoes and layered clothing—mountain sun and valley chill switch fast. Bring ID, weight within 25–115 kg, and a small, secure camera or use the included video package. Book mornings for calmer, thermally stable air; expect cancellations in strong or gusty conditions. Hydrate before you go, listen closely to the pilot’s safety briefing, and be ready to run a few steps at launch—then let the current push you into one of the most direct ways to experience the Alps.
Total excursion time is about 120 minutes from meeting to return; actual airtime is typically 15–35 minutes depending on conditions.
Passengers must generally weigh between 25 and 115 kg; not recommended for children under about 6 years—confirm exact limits with the operator when booking.
Flights are cancelled in unsuitable weather (strong winds, storms); you can receive a full refund if cancelled at least 24 hours before departure or if the operator cancels due to conditions.
No prior paragliding experience is required—pilots provide a safety briefing and handle launch, flight, and landing during a tandem ride.
Air-Davos Paragliding operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
