European Gay Ski Week

“Europe’s biggest gay ski party on top of the Alps.”

Every spring, European Gay Ski Week takes over Val Thorens — the highest ski resort in Europe — for a full week of snow, beats, and boys. Expect an international crowd carving down the slopes by day and filling the dance floors by night.

The event mixes serious skiing with unapologetic fun. You’ll find après-ski terraces buzzing with DJs, themed costume parties in alpine chalets, and late-night club events where goggles meet glitter. It’s as much about community as it is about skiing, with daily meetups, guided groups for all levels, and plenty of off-slope social moments.

The mountain setting adds a cinematic touch. Picture snow-covered peaks, hot tubs steaming under the stars, and rainbow flags fluttering against the Alps. Val Thorens makes a perfect base — compact, high-altitude, and ski-in/ski-out. If you like your winter sports with a side of flirtation, this week is a must.
