Live is Life in Arosa
Live is Life turns the closing weekend of the winter season into a festival on the mountain. It returns to Arosa from 2 to 4 April 2027, bringing live concerts to mountain huts and village venues across Arosa and Lenzerheide. It pairs music with spring skiing under long, bright days, and it is one of the liveliest ways to end the winter.
The event
Live is Life spreads live concerts across the ski area over a spring weekend, with performances during the day and into the night. Recent editions have staged concerts on everything from mountain huts to village halls, so you can ski between sets and follow the music from slope to valley. By early April the days are long and the sun is high, and the Arosa Lenzerheide ski area is at its most relaxed. Between concerts there is time for easy spring skiing, a long lunch on a sunny terrace or a walk by the Obersee, and a day moves naturally from the slopes to the stage. The bands and full line-up are announced by the organiser closer to the event on liveislife.ch.
