You stand at the edge of alpine meadow, the wind sizing you up as pilots pre-flight the wing beside you. Below, Klosters' clustered chalets and dark firs shrink into a checkerboard; above, the paraglider billows like a deliberate cloud ready to carry two people at once. The takeoff is brisk—one run, a soft lift—and then the valley opens, the mountain air nudging you into a slow, panoramic drift.

You stand at the edge of alpine meadow, the wind sizing you up as pilots pre-flight the wing beside you. Below, Klosters' clustered chalets and dark firs shrink into a checkerboard; above, the paraglider billows like a deliberate cloud ready to carry two people at once. The takeoff is brisk—one run, a soft lift—and then the valley opens, the mountain air nudging you into a slow, panoramic drift.
Klosters sits in the Prättigau, a granite-and-schist corridor shaped by glaciation; local shepherding and timbering gave way to tourism in the late 19th and 20th centuries when accessible rail links and alpine hotels put the village on the map. Paragliding here uses the same ridgelines that skiers and hikers rely on—Gotschna and nearby cols—for clean lift and reliable thermals during stable weather.
Expect a sensory mix: cold alpine air, the subtle creak of harness hardware, and wide views of Davos peaks. Flights are typically tandem with certified pilots; airtime often ranges 10–30 minutes depending on conditions, while the total booking takes about two hours.
Practical guidance: arrive with sturdy shoes and a light windbreaker, and be prepared for short runs on takeoff and a bending-knee landing. Operators enforce weight limits (20–125 kg) and basic fitness; they cancel in poor weather. Morning sessions offer calmer air; late afternoon can bring stronger thermals. Bring ID, full names for booking, and a small waterproof layer. For couples, the shared view is the point—bring a steady smile and let the pilots handle the rest.

Klosters evolved from alpine farming to a mountain resort in the 19th–20th centuries; its rail link and hotels helped attract visitors and winter sport development.
Operators limit flights in unstable weather and follow strict weight and safety rules; visitors should stay on trails and avoid disturbing fragile alpine vegetation.
