Every winter, we gather – a vibrant mix of familiar faces and new ones – coming together from BGS' LGBTQIA+ community and our closest circles. What began as a small group has grown into something truly special: a weeklong escape from Brussels' winter blues, filled with skiing joy, movement, and deep connection in the heart of the snowy mountains.
Next year marks our 12th edition, and we're heading somewhere new for the very first time: Serre Chevalier. Nestled in the Southern French Alps, this gem of a ski destination offers 250km of slopes, a sunny-yet-snowy climate, and the dramatic beauty of the Écrins National Park. It truly has it all – from smooth beginner runs to wild off-piste adventures, plus nordic skiing, hiking trails, and plenty of space to pause and just be.
We'll be staying at Club Les Alpes d'Azur, a cozy and welcoming hotel near the picturesque village of La Salle-les-Alpes, right in the heart of the Serre Chevalier valley. With space for up to 98 BGS participants, we've secured excellent group rates for what has become one of our most anticipated trips of the year.
As in previous years, we expect to sell out quickly, so don't wait too long. You can look forward to delicious local food, a wellness area to unwind, and evenings full of laughter, connection, and warmth.
Everyone is welcome to this trip, whatever your experience, age, gender. Whether you're here to carve your first turns or simply soak up the mountain vibes, this trip is made for us – for queer joy, chosen family, community, and play.
