 Ready for an unforgettable winter holiday? Welcome to Arosa’s legendary Gay Ski Week! Kicking off the last week of January, the Arosa Gay Ski Week is seven days of alpine fun in the sun and snow of the Swiss Alps. Its location in Eastern Switzerland is more than worth the trip, as the resort is hands down the most gay-friendly ski resort in the world. The flag flies here all season long, not just for one week in January — so if you’re a skier looking for the right time to make a jaunt overseas, this might just be the moment.
Arosa Gay Ski Week is not only a celebration but also a full-on right of passage for Europe’s gay skiing community. The fact that you’re partying above the tree line with the Weisshorn in the background only adds to the awesomeness.
Daily events, après ski and social skiing and boarding are on the agenda, and there is plenty of hot action on and off the slopes. Stay on the mountain and enjoy some of the best natural snow conditions in Europe, plus a great group of people to snow with.
From all corners of the world, skiers and snowboarders – from beginner to pro – come together to celebrate Europe’s favorite Winter Pride Festival. Thanks to the incredible support from the local community, this event has become a safe space for lipstick lesbians, cute twinks, hot daddies, and everyone in between.
The festive and sporting Arosa Gay Ski Week offers a full week of activities, themed dinners, concerts, après-ski, dance parties, and, of course, world-class skiing and snowboarding. The snow-sure ski region of Arosa Lenzerheide offers 140 miles of slopes with fantastic snow conditions and plenty of sunny days in one of Europe’s best skiing domains. Pros can explore the vast ski area with our gay and lesbian group guides, while beginners can take lessons with one of the experienced instructors at the ski school.
If white snow fun isn’t your thing, you can relax on the mountain huts’ sun loungers or go for a winter walk, ice skating, curling or cross-country skiing. Arosa offers much more if skiing isn’t your thing. The weekly program includes activities such as snowshoeing, tobogganing or a horse-drawn carriage ride through the breathtaking alpine landscape. Meeting new people is just as popular. Above all, the fantastic atmosphere among the participants and the winter wonderland make the event unforgettable year after year.
Away from the slopes, countless activities are held at various locations throughout the village. This extends to the nighttime too – club nights with world-class DJs, the Splash pool party, or a Swiss fondue night with a sleigh ride under the stars are just some of the fun times waiting to be had. The Arosa Drag Race and a classical concert at the village church are also on the jam-packed agenda.
