Get set for the 15th European Snow Pride Powered by SCRUFF, welcoming over 1200 party-goers from all over!

Think you've seen it all? 2024 has surprises in store as European Snow Pride will be upping the ante with fantastic parties and larger events in new stunning venues with world-famous artists. As European Snow Pride shines brighter on the global stage, you’ll mingle with more international pals than ever!

Swap skis for dance shoes as the Alps pulse with over 40 events - top DJs, epic performers, and artists. And hey, it's not après-ski if it's not at Cocorico's 1,000 m2 terrace, bar & restaurant, transforming daily into a vibrant open-air dancefloor against stunning mountain vistas. Every afternoon between 3:30 pm and 6:30 pm, expect DJs, vocal performers, saxophone players, percussionists, and dancers, along with a heap of new ski enthusiasts to meet.

For many years, European Snow Pride has welcomed the non-profit organization AIDES to offer onsite prevention messages and HIV screening tests. To recognize and reward these efforts, European Snow Pride will be financially supporting AIDES for its 15th edition. Show your support! Donate €10, and European Snow Pride will match it.

Feeling the pride? Join the slope-side Pride on March 21! Celebrate love, diversity, and France’s 11 years of equal marriage. The first Pride of the year in the Northern Hemisphere this will be European Snow Pride’s 8th edition. The event is a celebration of Tignes’ 15+ year commitment to LGBTQ+ issues and general focus on inclusion and diversity, so its annual Pride is one not to miss. 

"On several occasions, we have been demonstrating our commitment to tolerance and respect, which are key values for us" - Serge Revial, Mayor of Tignes.

Along with this, European Snow Pride will offer comfort food dining at local partner restaurants, an incredible Pride Party at Tignes' brand new and stylish nightclub, The Strike, and a giant Pool Party at the Tignes waterpark, 'Lagon.' Word has it that the pool parties are a highlight, so be sure to pack your best Speedos and splash to it.

Since 2008, Tignes & Val d'Isère, with 300km of slopes for all skill levels, have been the backdrop for European Snow Pride. The pedestrianized Tignes Val Claret buzzes with energy, transforming into a mountainous gay haven. With the European Snow Pride banner flying high, stroll into partner venues and get treated!

Whether you're budget-conscious or seeking luxury, we've got the stay for you. From comfy hotels to lavish chalets (including three brand new 5-star ones), find your perfect snowy nest. Fancy a steamy Jacuzzi after shredding the slopes? European Snow Pride's got you!
