Current and new pass holders can buy an Ikon Pass at its lowest rates of the season and take advantage of all the early offers available:

• 0% interest payment plans

A new collection of exclusive benefits now includes travel packages, gear and outdoor content.

“Ikon Pass now comes with access to over 50 iconic global mountain destinations and new offers from Ikon Pass Travel, Outside+, The North Face and Smith, that will get skiers and riders prepped for winter 23/24,” said the Chief Marketing Officer for Alterra Mountain Company, Erik Forsell.

“Pair these exclusive new offers with established Ikon Pass benefits that offer added value and flexibility, like Friends & Family discounts, pass deferment, food and beverage discounts, and payment plan options, and Ikon Pass holders will be ready for next winter’s good stuff.”

In Europe the resorts of Zermatt in Switzerland, Chamonix in France, Kitzbuehel in Austria, Dolomiti Superski in Italy and the Grandvalira area in Andorra in the Pyrenees are on the Ikon Pass.

PlanetSKI has been using the Ikon Pass in the Alps this season.

We started in Chamonix:

“At first sight a European skier may wonder why you would need a pass for all those resorts in North America and across the world that you will probably never ski,” said the PlanetSKI content editor, James Cove.

“However if you are planning to ski a few resort in the USA in Canada next winter and you want to have a short break of two in the resorts in the Alps and the Pyrenees on the Ikon Pass then simply do the maths.

“It can work out at exceptional value and opens up a whole world of skiing,” added James.

It seems PlanetSKI readers are also impressed.

“I can highly recommend this pass if you fancy skiing across the pond. I’ve skied 26 days on it in 11 different resorts in Italy, Austria and the US,” said Melanie Bowesman-Jones on our Facebook page.
