Launch on skis from Jakobshorn and float above the snow-scoured valleys of Davos in a tandem paragliding flight. This guided winter experience pairs a short on-slope run with 15–35 minutes of alpine air, plus photos and video.

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.
