Paragliding Tandem Flight Klosters: Flight-Info
Description Paragliding Flight Area Klosters
With Gotschnagrat and Madrisa, we have two excellently developed flight mountains in Klosters for conducting paragliding tandem flights that leave nothing to be desired. In addition to launch sites for (almost) all wind directions, there are large, simple landing sites in the valley. Our flight students also feel comfortable in Klosters. In addition to tandem flights, we often carry out training flights with our flight students here.
You can easily reach the Gotschnabahn valley station by RhB / SBB or by car (parking directly at the train).
The two sections of the Gotschnabahn take us around 1,000 meters above Klosters. Enough height to enjoy the view of the alpine mountain world extensively during a long flight. We can often overfly the launch site here and climb much higher. The view towards the Silvretta Glacier always excites us.
The landing site is in the summer on a large meadow southeast behind the sports center. In winter we land opposite the sports center behind the meadow of the children’s ski school.
For your flight, we guarantee you individual care for your best flight experience.
Fabio from our team of pilots grew up in Klosters and is particularly looking forward to showing you Klosters from above.

Frequently Asked Questions / FAQ: Paragliding in Klosters
How safe is a paragliding flight?
Paragliding is very safe when conducted by experienced pilots who know the flight area very well. If the current weather is also taken into account in the flight decision, nothing stands in the way of a very safe paragliding flight.
The equipment is subject to strict safety standards. Manufacturers must have their products certified to ensure they meet the requirements. We fly exclusively with current equipment from well-known manufacturers.
In Switzerland, paragliding is not considered a risk sport.
What happens to my booking if there is bad weather on the day of the flight?
In case of bad weather on the day of the flight, we will try in advance to find a suitable replacement date together with you. If this is not possible for you in terms of time, you can easily cancel the flight. There are no costs for you for rescheduling the flight or for the cancellation.
Is there a weight limit for paragliding?
Yes, there is a weight limit. Our paragliders are approved for a specific minimum and maximum total weight (weight of pilot + passenger + complete equipment). However, by combining light pilot / heavy passenger or vice versa and by choosing different paragliders, we have a lot of leeway. For us, there is practically no lower weight limit. Very light passengers / children can easily fly with us. If you have a body weight of over 115 kg, we ask for prior contact so that we can plan the flight accordingly.
What clothing is ideal for a tandem flight?
For the flight, we recommend wearing comfortable outdoor clothing (long pants, jacket, fleece), sunglasses (to protect your eyes from the wind), and good shoes in the summer. You will receive a flight helmet from us, but you can also use your own ski or snowboard helmet.
In winter, ski clothing is ideal. It’s also no problem to start with ski boots or snowboard boots.
If you’re missing any clothing, you can borrow it for free from our flight shop for the duration of the flight, or we’ll bring any missing items to the flight.
Please don’t bring backpacks. We can’t store them well.
Can I securely store luggage?
You are welcome to store your luggage safely and free of charge in our shop for the duration of your flight experience. Our shop is located in close proximity to the “Davos Platz” train station, the mountain railway, and the landing site. From there, you have excellent access to public transportation.
Can I borrow clothes and shoes?
Yes, you can visit our shop before the flight and borrow clothing and shoes at no additional cost. We have a wide range of suitable flight attire available.
Can I take photos myself?
You are welcome to take photos during the flight! You will receive photos and videos from us free of charge after your flight, but you are also welcome to use your own camera. If you bring a large camera (DSLR or mirrorless camera), please let us know in advance. We will provide a front pocket to ensure that your photo equipment is well protected during takeoff and landing, and does not dangle uncontrollably during the start run, for example.
Will I be brought back to the meeting point?
Our landing sites in Davos and Klosters are located near the meeting point and can be easily reached on foot. Typically, we walk together from the landing site back to the original meeting point.
What physical requirements (fitness) are there for paragliding?
Paragliding requires an average level of physical fitness from the passenger. In case you are not good on foot, there is still a possibility to take off under favorable conditions. However, perfect wind and takeoff conditions are necessary for this. If you have any doubts about your fitness level for the flight, definitely get in touch with us in advance. We can discuss everything and plan the flight accordingly.
What weather is best suited for paragliding?
Ideal conditions for paragliding typically involve light to moderate wind speeds or no wind (approximately 0-25 km/h), clear visibility, and stable air masses. Thermal or dynamic updrafts can also be utilized to gain altitude. In case of poor visibility, precipitation, strong winds, or approaching thunderstorms, we usually refrain from flying. Certain conditions, such as foehn winds, require caution even in otherwise good weather, as unpredictable winds can occur.
We carefully review weather forecasts multiple times a day and, residing in Davos, possess extensive experience in assessing and predicting local weather conditions.
Are there age restrictions for paragliding?
There are no age restrictions for tandem flying. However, passengers under the age of 18 require parental consent. Our tandem pilots have flown with their own children at an age of under 2 years. For commercial flights, we consider a minimum age of 5 to 6 years to be appropriate.
