Ski and snowboard season is just around the corner, and Ikon Pass is making it even easier to plan a snowy European getaway with five new mountains added to its lineup.Â
Holders of the popular pass will now have access to five new mountains within the Valle d’Aosta region of the Italian Alps for the winter 2025/2026 season, Ikon shared with Travel + Leisure. These include Courmayeur Mont Blanc, Cervino Ski Paradise, La Thuile Espace San Bernardo, Monterosa Ski, and Pila.
“This partnership opens the door to U.S. skiers and riders, offering the opportunity to discover the breathtaking scenery and exceptional winter experiences that make Valle d’Aosta a true hidden gem of the Alps,” Danilo Chatrian, the general director of Courmayeur Mont Blanc Funivie and a project representative in Valle d’Aosta, said in a statement shared with T+L. “From iconic peaks and world-class skiing to gourmet cuisine and authentic alpine charm, we are thrilled to share the unique spirit of our special region in Italy with a wider global audience.”
During the season, Ikon Pass holders will have access to a combined seven days between the five resorts. And here’s the best news: there are no blackout dates.
Skiers and riders who hold an Ikon Base Pass will have access to five days combined. Valle d’Aosta is not available on the Ikon Session Pass.
As an added bonus, travelers exploring the mountains in Valle d’Aosta can even ski in two different countries with the ability to head to Zermatt Matterhorn in Switzerland from Italy’s Cervino Ski Paradise.Â
Erik Forsell, the chief marketing officer of the Alterra Mountain Company, which owns the Ikon Pass, said the new access will allow travelers to explore “the special mountain culture of the Alps.”
Overall, the Ikon Pass now includes 63 mountain destinations across 11 countries on five continents. Beyond Italy, the Ikon Pass allows skiers and riders to explore resorts in several other European countries, including Andorra, Austria, France, and Switzerland.
In North America, pass holders can ski in 17 states in the United States and four Canadian provinces.
The Ikon Pass is currently on sale for $1,429 and includes extra perks like 25 percent off the window price of lift tickets for friends and family, up to 15 percent off food, beverages, and retail at select mountains, and discounts on popular ski brands like The North Face, Blenders, and more.
The Ikon Base Pass is currently on sale for $1,009, while the four-day Ikon Session Pass is on sale for $489.
