Get ready to mark two decades of winter magic as Arosa Gay Ski Week celebrates its 20th anniversary in the Swiss Alps from 18 to 25 January 2025. This isn’t just a ski week; it’s a full-throttle celebration of Pride amid the snow, that’s drawn LGBTQ+ adventurers from across the globe since 2005.
The breathtaking slopes of Arosa Lenzerheide await, offering over 225 kilometres of pristine runs suited to everyone, from seasoned pros to those trying on skis for the first time. Expert guides will lead group tours for adventurous spirits, while beginners can learn the ropes from skilled instructors.
Beyond the skiing, the region has something for everyone. Lounge in the sun on mountaintop terraces, indulge in spa treatments, or explore the alpine beauty with activities like snowshoe hiking, tobogganing, or horse-drawn sleigh rides. For the truly adventurous, there’s ice skating, curling, and cross-country skiing.
