The tracks in Arosa are located at an altitude of 1'600 to 1'950 metres above sea level.
Cross-Country Group: Skating & Social
Sport, fresh mountain air and great company!
Fancy a full-body workout surrounded by breathtaking Alpine scenery? Join us on Arosa’s cross-country trails and discover another, more active side of Gay Ski Week!
Cross-country skating is one of the most comprehensive winter workouts you can get. It engages your legs, glutes, core, back, shoulders and arms while improving your endurance, balance and coordination. And the best part? You get to enjoy it all outdoors, breathing in crisp mountain air with the magnificent Swiss Alps as your backdrop.
But it’s not just about the skiing! It’s also a great opportunity to meet fellow Gay Ski Week guests from different countries, cultures and walks of life. You’ll get to know interesting, like-minded people, discover what you have in common and perhaps even make new friends along the way. And who knows? You might bump into some of those familiar faces again at the party later that evening!
The cross-country skiing group is an exclusive activity for Gay Ski Week Event Pass holders.
