January 3-9, 2009

Welcome to the 5th Edition of Arosa Gay Skiweek !
From January 3 - 9, 2009, you will discover an international week of fun enjoyed by hundreds of participants from all around the world. Arosa sits at the top of a typical Swiss valley (6000 feet) and that means there’s sure to be snow! Whether you like skiing back to your hotel at the end of the day on your new carving skis, walking along the winter paths that lead you right through the ski slopes or listening to the snow crunching under your feet as you stroll through the village - you are right in the center of the happenings...
Alongside skiers and snowboarders, you will meet many non-skiers, après-skiers, party animals and others who simply want to relax in a wonderful atmosphere and sunbathe in the complementary sun-loungers at the Tschuggenhütte, facing the Weisshorn and a breathtaking alpine panorama.

We offer  various packages at special prices. There is something for all budgets!
