Frequently Asked Questions
What is Arosa Gay Ski Week?
Arosa Gay Ski Week is one of Europe's best known LGBTQ+ winter gatherings and the continent's favourite Ski Pride festival, running since 2005. It combines a week of skiing on the Arosa Lenzerheide pistes with concerts, performances, social gatherings and themed parties. It draws visitors from across Europe, many returning year after year.
When is Arosa Gay Ski Week 2027?
The 2027 edition runs from 16 to 23 January, seven days and nights of skiing and events. Events take place on the pistes and in venues and hotels across Arosa in the heart of the winter season.
Do I need to be a strong skier to join, and can non-skiers come?
No, guided groups and lessons are organised by ability, so it is easy to ski with others at your own pace. The 225 kilometres of pistes range from gentle beginner runs to long descents for confident skiers. Non-skiers are just as welcome, with winter walks, wellness and a full social programme off the slopes.
How do I get tickets and reach the events?
Festival passes and the full programme are published on the official Gay Ski Week website. Arosa is reached by direct railway, then a short walk or local bus. The village is compact, so the mountain, dinner and the night's events are all within a short walk of each other.
Why stay at Hotel Altein for Gay Ski Week?
Hotel Altein sits in the heart of the village, within easy reach of the lifts and the week's venues. After skiing you can unwind in the spa with indoor pool, saunas and steam room, then gather in the restaurants and bars before the evening's events. Rooms fill quickly for this week, so book early.
