Tandem flight
35–60 Minutes in the Air: Your Thermal Paragliding Flight Above Davos
The Thermal Flight by Air-Davos Paragliding costs CHF 270 and launches from the Jakobshorn in Davos or in Klosters. Thermal updrafts carry you higher for 35–60 minutes of pure airtime; the whole experience takes 1.5 to 2 hours, with photos and video with music included.
Want to do more than just take off and glide back down? On this tandem flight, nature does the climbing: we launch when conditions are right and let the updrafts carry us. You get 35–60 minutes of pure airtime, your FOCA-certified pilot handles all the flying, and no experience is needed. Just pick your date and leave the rest to us.
Let the updrafts do the climbing
The cable car takes us around 1,000 metres up the mountain, and the sun does the rest: it warms the slopes, warm air rises, and that is exactly where we start circling. You feel the glider lift you, circle by circle, as the valley slowly shrinks beneath your feet.
With 35–60 minutes of pure airtime, you get far more time in the air than on the Panoramic Tandem Flight (15–35 minutes). Enough to properly savour the calm circling in the thermals and take in views reaching far beyond the mountains of Davos and Klosters.
Your flight day, made simple
We meet either at the valley station of the Jakobshorn cable car in Davos Platz (Brämabüelstrasse 11) or at the valley station of the Gotschna cable car in Klosters (Gotschnastrasse 19). Plan 1.5 to 2 hours: the cable car ride, a briefing at the launch site, a few quick steps, and the air takes over. You don't need any skills for this; your pilot handles everything.
One thing upfront, so nothing surprises you: your cable car ticket (one way) is not included in the flight price; you buy it directly at the ticket office. Payment is after the flight, in cash, by TWINT or by credit card.
Photos and video as a gift, a fair weather rule
High-quality photos and an edited video with music are our gift to you, delivered by Dropbox link on the evening of your flight day. When you watch your video that night, you'll fly those calm circles all over again.
Let's be honest: a thermal flight needs the right conditions, and nobody can guarantee the weather. So we check the forecast a few days before your date and get in touch. If conditions aren't right, the choice is yours: reschedule or cancel free of charge. That fair rule is one reason for our 5.0 from over 500 Google reviews.

Can I book the Thermal Flight in winter?
Yes, the Thermal Flight is available all year round. In winter we mainly launch from the Jatzhütte in Davos: the forest around the Jakobshorn produces thermals even in winter.

We check the weather a few days before your Thermal Flight and get in touch. If conditions are not suitable, you reschedule or cancel free of charge.
