After meeting your pilot in the booking office at the Jakobshorn cable cars station near the Davos Platz railway station, you will be ready to prepare for this exhilarating experience. You can deposit any equipment which you don’t need for flying safely here at the facility, and from this point forward you will be guided by your own paragliding pilot. You will begin by receiving the best free flight experience, with ample time reserved beforehand for you to be briefed by the team of English-speaking pilots. For your flight, you will have 2-hours reserved for your entire experience (including briefing and the dive). You will receive everything you need to know directly after your booking, allowing you to be aptly prepared on the day of your jump. First you will take the cable car to the launch site on top of the Jakobshorn in Davos Platz. On the way to the launch site you will have plenty of time to discuss everything regarding your flight, as the pre-flight anticipation builds. Once having taken off from the base camp, you will soar at an altitude of 1,000-meters before returning gracefully back down to earth.

You will meet your pilot at the valley station of the Jakobshornbahn in Davos Platz. Your pilot team consists of pilots from Davos, which have 30 years of paragliding experience. Together with your pilot you will take the two sections of the Jakobshorn cable car up to the Jakobshorn summit. Before, during, and after the cable car ride, you will have enough time to discuss any questions with your pilot. You will also get an insight into the world of paragliding. Once at the top, your pilot will check the wind situation before selecting a suitable launch site. Normally your guides will begin your flight either directly below the summit, from the Jatzhütte or from the Brämabüel. When you arrive at the starting point, your pilot will prepare the material for your flight and connect you with the apparatus. It will then be time to launch, at which point you will begin running together with your pilot. Following a few steps, you will be together in the air. Throughout your flight you can talk easily to your pilot and tell them your wishes. You will be able to steer yourself, or simply glide along and enjoy the beautiful landscape. You landing site will later be located in Davos, where your thrilling experience will conclude.
