Arosa Gay Ski Week is known as Europe’s favorite winter pride festival. Hundreds of gay men and women travel annually to Arosa, Switzerland in January, for the friendly week-long celebration, supported by locals and the community – and everyone’s invited.

This fun-filled, whirlwind event is packed with seven days of good company, exquisite dining, live music, partying and of course the world-class skiing and snowboarding.

How you enjoy Arosa Gay Ski Week is entirely up to you. Love to snowboard? Then you can hit the slopes by day and party by night. Not so fond of the white fluffy sky dust? Spend your time sunbathing on the terrace of a mountain hut, mingling with friends and enjoying the myriad of other activities on offer. Come for the atmosphere and stay for the fabulous skiing.

That’s the inherent appeal of Arosa Gay Ski Week – it’s customized to suit the way you have fun. Arosa uniquely offers more than just extreme snow sports and throwing yourself from the mountain tops. There is also an amazing variety of other activities, including well-prepared winter hiking trails, ice skating, curling and cross-country skiing. The winter program in Arosa wouldn’t be complete without snowshoe walking, sledging slides and romantic horse-drawn carriage rides through the breathtaking alpine landscape.

The week is supported by the local tourism office and a large selection of partner hotels, chalets and holiday apartments. So get on board for skiing, socializing, partying and help paint Arosa rainbow!
