European Gay Ski Week 2025 is Europe's biggest lgbtq+QI+ Winter Sports and Music Festival
It will take over the resort of Val Thorens, the highest village in Les Trois Vallées ski area.
The place vibrates with fun (it's a ski resort!), so imagine what it's like when 2,000 of our lgbtq+QI+ community and their allies descend on Val Thorens.

Now at its 16th Edition, European Gay Ski Week is the biggest and only roaming queer winter sports and music festival packed with cabaret, comedy and parties from a selection of the best clubs, DJs and performers from Europe and the world.
Over the years European Gay Ski Week has grown steadily and now gathers more than a thousand winter sports enthusiasts from all over the world. We are proud to welcome everyone from the lgbtq+QI+ community and their friends and family, mixing together a whole variety of people.  

European Gay Ski Week is an annual event that brings together the lgbtq+Q+ community and its allies for a week of skiing, snowboarding,  and social events in some of Europe's most beautiful and renowned ski resorts.
The event typically takes place over a week in late March or early April. Each year, the event is hosted at a different ski resort in Europe, offering participants the opportunity to explore new destinations and experiences. Previous editions of the Europen Gay Ski Week have been held in popular ski resorts such as Les Arcs, Avoriaz, and Alpe d'Huez in France.

Whether you are a complete beginner or an avid powder hound European Gay Ski Week's goal is to give you the best ski holiday you have ever had.
For 10 years we have toured the best resorts and ski areas in the Alps and topped it off with incredible parties, fabulous cabaret and an Apres ski which is unequalled. For 2025 we are doing it again.
