In a surprise announcement this morning, The Ikon Pass notified the ski world that 21/22 season pass holders will now have access to nearly a dozen Italian resorts via Dolomiti Superski along with the mythical home of the Streif downhill racecourse, Kitzbühel in Austria (travel restrictions permitting).

Since Dolomiti Superski is a conglomerate of interconnected ski resorts, pass holders will get seven days of “combined access” to the 12 resorts included on a regular Dolomiti Superski Pass. At Kitzbühel, guests will get unlimited seven-day access. Not only does this added access cement the Ikon Pass as a leader in ski travel in Europe, but it also offers pass holders a unique opportunity to traverse the Alps in road-trip fashion.
It bears highlighting how the scope of this Italian addition is downright massive. With some 296,526 acres of skiable terrain across 12 resorts, the entire ski domain covered by Dolomiti Superski will require repeat visits. On the other side of the coin, the addition of the famed slopes of Kitzbühel is significant as well. For speed freaks who’ve always wanted to see the Super Bowl of alpine ski racing, the festivities surrounding the Hahnenkamm are not to be missed.
