With the 2025/26 winter season approaching, Ikon Pass plans to enhance skiing in Europe with access to five spectacular mountains in Italy’s Valle d Aosta region. This expansion greatly increases the options available to global winter travelers, combining European alpine majesty with Italian sophistication, and permits early purchasers to buy the pass at a lower, promotional cost before a price hike.

Valle d’Aosta, nestled amid the towering Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, and other iconic peaks, represents a unique convergence of natural beauty, alpine culture, and high-end hospitality. The region’s five premier ski destinations included in the Ikon Pass portfolio are Courmayeur Mont Blanc, Cervino Ski Paradise, La Thuile Espace San Bernardo, Monterosa Ski, and Pila. Each offers a distinct combination of thrilling slopes, charming villages, and Michelin-starred dining experiences, providing a complete winter adventure that extends beyond skiing into the heart of Italian mountain culture.

One of the remarkable features of this expansion is the seamless connectivity with neighboring countries. From Cervino Ski Paradise, skiers can cross directly into Zermatt Matterhorn, while Courmayeur provides easy access through the Mont Blanc tunnel to Chamonix, France. This transnational link allows Ikon Pass holders to explore multiple European ski destinations without the hassle of additional logistics, making Valle d’Aosta a strategic and enticing gateway to the Alps.

The 25/26 season grants Ikon Pass holders seven combined days of skiing across these five Valle d’Aosta mountains, with no blackout dates. Ikon Base Pass holders can enjoy five combined days, also without restrictions, ensuring maximum flexibility for winter planning. The region is not included in the Ikon Session Pass, keeping access exclusive to full and base pass holders.

Beyond skiing, Ikon Pass members gain access to a suite of exclusive perks. Friends & Family discounts, Ikon Pass Travel services, and a Protect Our Winters membership enhance the overall experience, while the Peak Perks program provides tailored benefits, from discounted gear to specialized services, adding extra value to the pass.

Valle d’Aosta’s inclusion reflects Ikon Pass’s broader strategy to expand European offerings, combining world-class slopes with cultural richness. Visitors can expect an immersive experience, from alpine adventure on powder-covered trails to savoring gourmet cuisine, all within villages that radiate authentic Italian charm. The region’s high-altitude environment, paired with its sophisticated infrastructure, ensures a winter holiday that is both exhilarating and luxurious.

The addition of Valle d’Aosta marks a milestone for Ikon Pass in Europe, offering travelers an unprecedented mix of adventure, culture, and connectivity. Early pass purchasers benefit from current low rates, making this the perfect opportunity to explore Italy’s hidden alpine treasures in the coming winter season.
