The wind cuts across the Jakobshorn bowl, lifting up skiers and a thin ribbon of color—the paraglider wing—until both lift free of the snow. You stand with skis on, shoulder to shoulder with your pilot, feeling the slope push beneath your boots for a few meters and then the quiet yank of flight as Davos opens beneath you.

The wind cuts across the Jakobshorn bowl, lifting up skiers and a thin ribbon of color—the paraglider wing—until both lift free of the snow. You stand with skis on, shoulder to shoulder with your pilot, feeling the slope push beneath your boots for a few meters and then the quiet yank of flight as Davos opens beneath you.
Jakobshorn sits on the northern fringe of the Davos skisystem in Graubünden, part of the rugged Central Alps carved by glaciers and centuries of alpine land use. The launch sites are sited on the ski ridgelines used since mid-20th-century ski development, and from the air you’ll trace glacial valleys and steep metamorphic rock faces that tell the region’s geological story. Davos itself evolved from a mountain health resort into a winter sports hub, and the rail station at Davos Platz still marks the practical gateway for visitors.
Practically: meet at the Jakobshorn valley station, take the cable car to the launch zone, receive a safety briefing, then ski a short running launch with your tandem pilot. Flights average 15–35 minutes depending on wind and thermals; the total activity time is roughly 1.5–2 hours. Photos and video are included, but cable car tickets or ski passes are not.
Expect cold alpine air—layers, goggles, and sealed gloves are essential. The activity requires good skiing or snowboarding skills and falls within moderate-to-challenging physical demand; pilots make final weather decisions for safety. Book mornings when winds tend to be steadier, and keep a flexible window: the mountains, not schedules, decide when you fly.
