About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Chris B0 contributionsA fantastic experience - we need to do this again!We had a fantastic experience paragliding over the mountains near Flums. Due to heavy cloud in Davos, Robert drove us over to Flums where conditions were suitable to fly. The views were amazing. Both Robert and his colleague, Beat, were knowledgeable, encouraging and fun! We’re already trying to work out when we can do this again.😀Written 27 July 2024
- Voyager269865213380 contributionsEXCELLENT EXPERIENCEI am incredibly impressed with my experience with Joyride Paragliding in Davos. Choosing to go paragliding with them was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I’ve made. The feeling of flying was absolutely amazing, and I’ve already planned to bring my family to experience it as well. If you are considering trying paragliding, I can confidently say you won’t be disappointed. This adventure is truly unforgettable.Written 13 July 2024

- I2112KXmi0 contributionsFirst time paragliding: GREAT EXPERIENCE!I spent a few days in Klosters and decided to go paragliding as I imagined the location would be the perfect setting for it. I am very happy I chose Joyride. Robert is the perfect person when it's your first time paragliding. He made me feel completely safe and I was not not nervous at all. The flight itself was an absolute joy. It was in perfect weather conditions (lucky me) and I have fun pictures to remind me of the day. Would definitely do another flight with Robert and his team at Joyride again when I have the opportunity.Written 4 September 2022
- Meikiem0 contributionsHalf a day of blissWhat an amazing experience! Half a day in the beautiful mountains seeing some unexpected views and even a whole group of „Gemsen“ from above - loved it! The knowledgeable pilots made me feel very safe and after half a day I can now even do some wind-talk of my own. Thank you, Robert and Peter - I will definitely be back for „another day in the office ;-)“Written 2 August 2021
- Vitalijus N0 contributionsAmazing experienceOn 02.08 we had a best experience with team of Joyride Paraglide.

We made a best memories and it wouldn't happen without Robert and Peter.Written 2 August 2020

- 569nelev0 contributionsFantastic experience![NL] Mijn eerste keer paragliding was een schot in de roos! Ondanks het bedenkelijk weer (er zat regen aan te komen) heeft begeleider Robert het beste moment afgewacht om te vertrekken en dat was zeker het wachten waard. Wat een prachtige vlucht over Davos. Boven, tussen en onder de wolken. Een fantastische ervaring! Ik heb de sessie slechts 2 dagen op voorhand geboekt en dat was geen probleem. Ik heb fijn gebabbeld met Robert (in het Engels), want er gaat wel wat tijd over in het naar boven gaan met de kabelbaan, maar dat vloog voorbij. Merci, Robert! [EN] My first time paragliding was a big success! Despite the questionable weather conditions (it would rain soon), Robert waited for the best moment to start and it was worth the wait. What a beautiful view we had over Davos. Above, in between and under the clouds. A wonderful experience! I booked only 2 days in advance, but that was no issue at all. Along the way, we had nice talks (in English) because it takes some time to go all the way up with the cableway, but time passes by quickly when you’re having a nice chat. Thanks, Robert!Written 27 September 2019
- wap212340 contributionsReaching the limitsA truly fantastic tandem flight for six family members and friends. From the jakobshorn it was our first experience paragliding, everyone felt safe and secure with amusing twists and bends if you wanted to and otherwise Robert and the team were fantastic.

My wife and I are in Europe for our Anniversary. Saw Robert’s Paragliding on Trip Advisor. Thought somewhat daring yet fun for a couple of almost empty nesters. It always looked risky and dangerous when you see the gliders in the air, but I was super surprised by the peacefulness of the experience. Very beautiful, quiet and serene. Robert was very professional in his communication. Showed up on time, and was clear yet brief in his safety talks. The mild wind just picked you up like a kite and you ride it down the mountain. Great for any age as long as not too immature. My daring 11 and 13 yr olds would be game for sure. …only thing is the landing can be a bit rough. Uneven in thick grass. If you’re worried about your knees/hips type thing. This probably isn’t for you. Great time. Oh yeah… one last thing. If you find an earring in the landing zone. Email

Hi Josh
Thank you so much for your friendly words. It was our great pleasure to get you to know and being with you both in the air. It was the first time after almost 3’000 flights that we’ve lost an earring because of the helmet. I’m very sorry for this. But be sure from now on when ever im there I will think of you and Kerri and we will take a closer look at the ground. I really appreciate your humor and that you even didn’t lost it when we were searching for the earring. And if someone find it, I will send it to you by mail, no matter when.
All the best,
Robert

This was such an amazing experience!!!
Flying with Robert and his team was very pleasant and welcoming. 🤗
They treated us wonderfully! I felt as if I was flying with a friend..
The flying was a breathtaking experience; being in the sky as if you're floating.. and the best part is that there is no deep falls or high drops for those who are overwhelmed by that feeling. It literally felt as if you're sitting comfortably whilst flying in the air with an amazing breeze and a glorious view. (And of course you can decide weather you want it to go faster etc)
I 1000% recommend coming to Joyride Paragliding to enjoy the full Paragliding experience.
This was my first time going and as someone who used to suffer from fear of hights I'm proud to say I'll definitely be coming back. 🙌
Thank you so much Robert, Peter, and Moc for being such kind and welcoming pilots for me and my siblings. This was amazing!! ❤️

I’m so happy to read words like yours. It’s my pleasure to share them with our pilots. This is what keeps us going on. It’s just great to share the first time experience of getting airborne with our customers and feeling at landing like having made new friends. Thank you so much for your friendly words. Robert

I am still overwhelmed and full of happiness from this unforgettable experience.
Thanks to Robert, I was able to experience a wonderful and breathtaking tandem flight.
His calm, friendly, funny and cheerful manner as well as his competent and professional support gave me immediate confidence, so that I could enjoy the freedom in the air in a completely relaxed manner.
It was simply amazing, so much fun and all with a fantastic panorama.
I was able to steer the plane myself at times and at the end I did a bit of acrobatics = pure adrenaline, simply WOW!!
Thank you so much Robert for the great photos and videos that make my heart beat faster every time I look at them.
I am looking forward to experiencing another flight with Robert on my next visit to Switzerland and would highly recommend him.

From the get go the service was VIP-like feeling. Robert contacting me days before the flight to suggest scheduling improvements. Was available for any question by email or WhatsApp.
Peter - the senior pilot - which was handling the flight was an absolute pleasure. Polite, patient and very knowledgeable.
The kids, my wife and I had a very fun ride. We have done paragliding before, but nothing like this. The views were breath taking! a MUST do.

Dear Amichai
Thank you very much for your kind words. Unfortunately I've only just seen your review. But it's nice to be reminded of the flight with you and the summer even now in winter. I look forward to seeing you and your family again, perhaps in the summer. Sincerely, Robert

My colleagues and I were recently in Davos during the WEF and we had one of the most fun, exhilarating experiences ever, flying with “Joyride Paragliding”.
First of all, we instantly felt as though we were not only in good hands, but we were literally in “expert hands”, with this highly trained and experienced flight leader (and his staff).
It’s amazing how Robert Giesch and his team naturally made each one us feel comfortable with them (even before leaving the ground).
With a warm, assuring presence and clarity, Robert walked us through the entire process, with great care.
The love, passion and respect that they have for their profession definitely shines through in every way.
Immediately upon landing, not only did I have a sense of personal fulfillment, but there was also a greater sense of closeness between everyone, through such a powerful and positive, « shared experience ».
Infinite thanks to Robert and his entire Joyride Paragliding team for giving us so many wonderful, unforgettable memories, through our breathtaking flight above Davos!

I can hardly explain how they touch me, you perfectly depicture what we are aiming for in the almost 10 years of professional tandem flying with such a accuracy. It’s breath taking! Thank you so much for sharing your feelings and those unique moments while flying with us. I hope to see you at the next years’ WEF in Davos again. All the best, Robert

Today our daughter's two-year-old wish came true! Thanks to Robert's very personable, humorous, child-friendly and professional manner, we as parents immediately trusted you to take our nine-year-old daughter on a tandem paragliding flight. Our daughter thought the flight was just super cool! She also thought it was great that she was even allowed to control the plane a little herself. She would love to fly again straight away! Thank you again for the unforgettable experience for our daughter and the great pictures we received from you. Since our daughter is so enthusiastic, even I am considering whether I should dare to take a tandem flight myself.

Liebe Viviane. Herzlichen Dank für deine freundlichen Worte und das grosse Kompliment, welches ich sehr gerne wieder zurückgebe. Es war von Anfang an sehr schön euer Vertrauen zu spüren und dass Ihr Anouk dieses Erlebnis ermöglichen wolltet. Da ich selber Kinder habe, kann ich die durchaus gemischten Gefühle nachvollziehen. Bei mir würde es wahrscheinlich noch mehr brauchen. Aber meine Kinder können ja auch einfach mit mir fliegen! Der Flug mit Anouk war sehr angenehm und Ihre Begeisterung eine Freude für mich. Gerne würde ich mich auch für einen Flug mit dir anerbieten und bedanke mich jetzt auch schon für dein Vertrauen. Liebe Grüsse an die ganze Familie.

I highly recommend Joyride Paragliding- they're very professional, very safe, and it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
We had a great time with Robert and Peter! We had a beautiful flight over the Swiss mountains, and the company was very flexible too - two friends and I called in the morning, and they made space for us in the afternoon.
Would recommend to anyone who's always wanted to go paragliding.

My wife and I each went paragliding. She was nervous with idea but afterwards was sooooo happy she did it. It is much more like riding in a hot air balloon than it is skydiving.
There are two companies in Davos. Joyride is the best one. At first our hotel tried to book the other one but there were a lot of complications and we looked around and asked them to contact Joyride. The owner Robert is a real great guy and very professional. It could not have been better. We would have gone a second time except we ran out of days and had to go home. Dont be afraid, its not scary at all. It is a beautiful experience that the whole family will love. Much closer to hot air ballooning than skydiving (worth saying two times because I was really expecting it would be the other way around).
You will love it!!
Thanks Robert!!

one line says it's two hours, and in another line it says 15-35mins. So if the weather is no good, we are getting only 15 minutes and paying the same fee ?!?!?!

Yes it won't be long but it will be great regardless. I was up probably for 25 minutes but it took over hour and half all together, getting there and setting up equipment. Hope this helps
