How to Ski the Alps With One Epic Season Pass
The Epic pass goes Euro.
For years, the Epic Pass has been the golden ticket for skiers and snowboarders seeking access to some of North America’s storied slopes—from Vail to Park City to Whistler. Now, Epic’s reach is stretching farther, with a decisive expansion across Europe. What started as a North American megapass has gone global, turning a lift ticket into a ticket to adventure.
For the 2025/26 season, the Epic Pass will include several partner destinations in Austria: Mayrhofen and Hintertux, Saalbach and Zell am See-Kaprun, Silvretta Montafon, and Sölden. In many cases, pass holders get five consecutive days at these resorts in addition to the existing partnerships at resorts such as Les 3 Vallées in France, Ski Arlberg in Austria, Verbier 4 Vallées in Switzerland, and Italy’s Skirama Dolomiti. That the Epic Pass now offers access to 39 resorts worldwide makes it less a season pass and more of a global ski passport.
The Alps aren’t just mountains—they’re the holy grail of skiing. With sprawling terrain, charming alpine villages, and après-ski culture that puts fondue and wine centre stage, it’s no wonder Epic has been steadily planting its flag across the continent. The Epic Pass’s European strategy is redrawing the map of what a season pass can be: not just access to one home mountain, or one country, but the flexibility to chase snow and explore culture.
Ski seasons are increasingly affected by climate change, with inconsistent snowfall patterns. By expanding to diverse regions, Epic Pass ensures year-round skiing options (for Canada’s summer months, there is Mount Hotham, Falls Creek, and Perisher in Australia), and for travellers, freedom—beyond savings, the value lies in choice.
Europe just made the Epic Pass a whole lot more epic.
