The Arosa Gay Ski Week

The Swiss Ski Week has established itself among the top Gay & Lesbian Winter Events in Europe !

On Sunday, January 8th, 2012 we will say again for the eighth time «Welcome to the Arosa Gay Ski week». The little event started in 2005 has become a big one. With more than 350 participants from around the world, it’s now one of the top Gay Winter Events in Europe.

Switzerland has now, like France (The European Gay Skiweek) and Austria (Gay Snow Happening), its big, international, gay ski week. Its success is easy to explain: the wonderful city of Arosa is ideally suited for such an occasion, and, the serious and professional work from its organizers, Alexander Herkommer and Hitsch Leu, another part.

With great sensitivity and commitment they continually increase the large number of partners who support and promote the week. Today, the Arosa Gay SkiWeek has an extensive network of friends, supporters and sellers all over the world.

Alex Herkommer can’t conceal his excitement when he talks about the program. There are a multitude of different offerings and events this year featuring big international names; participants get a lot for their money! In addition to games and sunbathing on the Tschuggenhütte, the daily Apres-Ski cocktail party and a large number of evening events: cabaret show, live concerts, foam party, white party, pool party, night sauna, Swiss fondue night, moonlight sledge-fun, single table and an unforgettable classic concert in the village church. For our fine gourmets we have dedicated an evening to culinary delicacies with exquisite selected dishes: an Alpine gourmet fairytale..

Furthermore, guests are cared for and accompanied by a knowledgeable and motivated crew during the entire week. A Welcome Desk during guest arrival, an International Ski-Guiding Squad, and a professional security staff for evening events. Everything makes this week unforgettable. Our participants always go home with a smile and great satisfaction.

Reto Kleeb of Switzerland Tourism and Pascal Jenny, director of the Arosa tourist board, are very pleased with the development of the Arosa Gay Skiweek. «Fine,» says Reto «when we see that our efforts in the gay/lesbian segment are bringing more and more visitors to discover our beautiful country».

Convince yourself this winter in Arosa!
