You lift off from a high alpine ridge and the valley opens beneath you: Davos’ slate roofs shrink to a chessboard while the Davossee reflects a pale sky. The two of you sit side-by-side in a tandem harness, pilots at your backs, as mountain air teases the wing and a steady thermal nudges you upward.

You lift off from a high alpine ridge and the valley opens beneath you: Davos’ slate roofs shrink to a chessboard while the Davossee reflects a pale sky. The two of you sit side-by-side in a tandem harness, pilots at your backs, as mountain air teases the wing and a steady thermal nudges you upward.
Davos sits in the canton of Graubünden, a historic alpine pass that grew from a 19th-century health resort into a year-round mountain town. The surrounding geology—folded crystalline rock and glacially carved valleys—creates predictable updrafts and sheltered lee sides that pilots use for launch and soaring. Locals mix Romansh, German and alpine hospitality; winter sports and summer trails shape the town’s rhythm.
Expect a mix of calm glides and lively lifts: thermals will push you gently, ridge winds can steady the wing, and the pilot will adjust to keep the ride smooth. Flights are guided by experienced tandem pilots; weight and health limits apply and most operators include photos and video so you walk away with both adrenaline and memory.
Practical guidance: arrive dressed in layers, bring sturdy shoes for the launch slope, and keep pockets zipped—wind will test loose items. Plan flights for morning or late afternoon for cleaner air and softer light. If weather cancels, operators typically offer refunds or rescheduling. For first-time flyers the experience is less about technical skill and more about trust—of the pilot, of the wing, and of the alpine wind that carries you.
