Paragliding in Davos Klosters

Procedure

The passenger and Air-Davos pilot meet at the Jakobshorn valley station in Davos if no other meeting point has been arranged for. The cable car will bring them to the different launch sites on the mountain. Once arrived at the top the pilot will make a final check on the weather conditions and decide about the most suitable launch site. Before take off the passenger will get a detailed briefing about the tandem flight including launch and landing procedures. In summer the landing site is a large lawn situated in front of Bolgen Plaza Restaurant. The winter landing site is located next to the chairlift Carjöl (5 min walking distance from Jakobshorn cable car valley station).

Group and team flights

Would you like to take off with your team? We often fly larger groups and can rely on a large number of licensed tandem pilots. And should the weather be too bad to fly, we can offer a suitable alternative program through our partners, so that they can carry out their event anyway. Contact us for an individual offer.

Flights with children

We can take children from the age of 5-6 years (depending on height and weight). For maximum comfort and safety we use a special children’s harness (SupAir Kinder).

Safety: Your safety is our number one priority

To ensure your safety during our flights we are glad to introduce the following measures to you:

Equipment
The equipment used for flying is checked regularly and offers various safety features e.g. our harnesses come with a protector.

Experience
We hold all licenses for conducting passenger flights required by the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA). All our pilots are very experienced.

Reserve parachute
In the unlikely event of problems during the flight the pilot is carrying a rescue which acts as a second paraglider in case of an emergency.

Pictures

Your pilot is equipped with a special HD sports camera which ensures to document your flight adequately. If you purchase the pictures, you receive a download link with the pictures taken during the flight. During the flight you may take pictures or make videos with your own cam.

Video

We would be happy to create a video of your flight experience. For the thermal flight and tandem flight offers this is possible for a surcharge of 50 CHF.

Here you can find some sample videos on vimeo and youtube.

Clothing

Most important for a smooth takeoff and landing is to wear suitable shoes. We recommend to wear hiking boots for your flight. In the winter season a flight with ski or snowboard boots is also possible. During the flight passengers sit in the front seat and are therefore directly facing the wind. It is advisable to wear warm clothes (e.g. windproof jacket, gloves). We will provide a helmet for passengers. Of course you may also bring your own ski or snowboard helmet.

Age

There are no age limitations as long as you have an average level of fitness.
Passengers under the age of eighteen years need their parents’ permission.

Fitness

For take off and landing passengers have to run a few steps together with the pilot. During the flight you can relax and enjoy.
