Snow Much Pride at Winter Pride Sölden 2026!

Pride is all about love - and in every good fairytale, it’s love that melts even the frostiest of ice queens. If that’s true, more than a few queens’ hearts are bound to thaw this winter at Winter Pride Sölden, Austria’s premier LGBTQ+ winter festival, taking place March 21-28, 2026.

Held in the magical alpine village of Sölden, this joyous celebration serves slopes for every level of skier and snowboarder. But Winter Pride is just as much about the fabulous lineup of events, ruled over by winter’s drag queen royalty. On the slopes, expect ski tours, the iconic Ski Treasure Race, and the uproarious Fun Race - with prizes for the fastest, the fiercest, and those bold enough to match the queens’ times!

Off the mountains, the après-ski magic heats up as the community gathers for a creative mix of parties and performances - from karaoke and cabaret to themed nights like Show Your Colours and the cheeky Lederhosen Bash.

With flexible event passes (see below), you can come and go as you please - because at Winter Pride Sölden, the only hard rule is to have fun!

Sölden’s Hottest Cold-Weather Event

Sölden is a true winter wonderland, boasting 144 kilometers of pristine pistes across three majestic peaks - perfect for skiers and snowboarders of every level. For Winter Pride Sölden, accommodations have been specially reserved, ranging from lavish 5-star chalets and sleek hotels to cozy B&Bs and private apartments - all proudly flying the LGBTQ+ flag high in the Alps.

Pass options are every bit as versatile as your last hook-up may (or may not) have been. Take your pick from a 7-day (Saturday-Saturday), 4-day (Saturday-Wednesday or Tuesday-Saturday), or 3-day (Saturday-Tuesday or Wednesday-Saturday) pass - all granting access to the main events. For those craving the royal treatment, VIP Special Passes cover the full week and include exclusive extras like special shows, themed fine dining, and a blissful thermal spa escape.

Winter Pride Sölden is more than a festival though - it’s a community made up of eccentric, fabulous, free spirits always ready to welcome new friends, lovers or friendly competitors. However you identify, whether you slay on skis or just at the bar,  Sölden Winter Pride is the hottest cold-weather event for your 2026 calendar!
