Indy Pass Expands Further into Europe

The Indy Pass already offers several areas in Europe and now it has added another 14 including the Portes du Soleil with its twelve resorts in France and Switzerland.

The Indy Pass offers 270+ Alpine and Nordic resorts across the USA, Canada, Europe, Japan, and South America.

Each provides two days of skiing or riding, plus a third day at a discounted rate.

Indy resorts are independent of any significant US corporate ownership, and many are owned and operated by multi-generational families, providing a uniquely authentic and affordable skiing experience.

“The remarkable growth of the Indy Pass sends a resounding message that independent resorts worldwide are taking a stand and banding together,” said Indy Pass Managing Director, Erik Mogensen.

“With our expansion in Eastern Canada and Europe, Indy affirms its position as the largest resort partnership in the history of skiing.”

The largest European addition to the pass is the Portes du Soleil.

The Portes du Soleil is a collection of resorts between Mont Blanc in France and Lake Geneva in Switzerland.

It includes the well-known ones of Avoriaz and Morzine, to the lesser known ones including  Morgins and  Torgon.

There’s also Les Gets, Champery and Chatel.

Resorts in Europe already on it include the ones around Innsbruck in Austria, Kufstein in the Ski Welt in Austria and Baqueira Beret in Spain.

Here on PlanetSKI we reported on today’s expected announcement earlier:

Around the world the Indy Pass has 43 new resorts for the 2025/2026 season.

These new resorts will be joined by 228 returning from last year, forming an unprecedented 271-resort coalition.

With the increase in capacity that these resorts provide, a limited quantity of Indy Passes for the general public is now back on sale, and only while supplies last.

Indy Pass strictly limits sales to preserve the unique experiences offered by its independent resorts.

PlanetSKI used the Indy Pass in Japan last winter.


New Learn-to-Turn Pass Launches with 30 Resorts

The two other multi-resort passes are also expanding next winter:

The new Learn-to-Turn skier development program by Indy Pass also goes on sale from August 28th for just $189 for all ages.

Indy Pass holders will receive referral codes suitable for $40 off up to Learn-to-Turn passes.

The Learn-to-Turn Pass will give beginning skiers and snowboarders three lift tickets, lessons, and rentals at a growing number of participating Indy Resorts.

“Jay Peak has been an Indy partner for years, and we are excited to participate in the Learn to Turn Pass.

“While Jay Peak is known for the most snow in the East and challenging terrain, we teach hundreds of beginners each year as well, and many of them are referred to us by their Indy Pass friends who take the opportunity to come for the weekend,” said Steve Wright, Jay Peak GM.

30 resorts have signed on, and more are expected as the season approaches.

Learn-to-Turn Passes will remain on sale throughout the season, providing newcomers with easy and affordable access to the slopes.
