Planning your ski holiday in the Alps with the Epic Pass

Do you have an Epic Pass and want to use it in Switzerland or France?

Enjoy a wide range of benefits at these resorts, from lift access to equipment rental and group ski lessons, among many others. For a tailor-made ski trip designed to meet all your wishes, Agence 1786, the Alps travel specialist, will craft a personalized program for you—complete with cozy and luxurious accommodations, private transfers, and exclusive off-slope immersive experiences. In this article, discover everything you need to know to plan your next unforgettable winter adventure in the Alps with your Epic Pass!

Verbier is an integral part of the 4 Vallées ski domain, the third-largest ski area in the Alps after Les 3 Vallées in France and Les Portes du Soleil spanning France and Switzerland. It also holds the title of Switzerland’s largest fully Swiss ski area, boasting 410 kilometers of slopes for every level of skier.

With the Epic Pass, enjoy unlimited access to Verbier’s 106 kilometers of pistes. This iconic Swiss resort offers endless opportunities for ski lovers: marked and secured freeride routes, a mogul field at the top of Mont-Fort (3,300 meters above sea level), a snowpark, and a skicross area, to name just a few.

Off the slopes, the thrills continue with La Tzoumaz’s exhilarating toboggan run and Europe’s highest zipline, starting from Mont-Fort—both absolutely unmissable!

Want to explore beyond Verbier during your ski holiday? Agence 1786 recommends day trips to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc in France, home to the world-famous Aiguille du Midi and Mer de Glace, or to Montreux on the Swiss shores of Lake Geneva. Montreux is the perfect gateway to the stunning Château de Chillon and to a delightful Wine Tour through the Lavaux vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

We’re here to help you plan all your off-slope activities during your Epic Pass ski holiday with our wide range of unique and exclusive experiences in the Alps—don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

As iconic as Verbier, Crans-Montana offers an outstanding ski experience across 140 kilometers of slopes ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 meters in altitude, with the Plaine Morte glacier marking the highest point.

Its exceptional location grants it both glorious sunshine and excellent snow conditions from early December through mid-April—not to mention a breathtaking 180° panorama over the Swiss and French Alps! While gliding down stunning slopes, take in the spectacular views of legendary peaks such as Mont Blanc, the Weisshorn, and even the Matterhorn.

Another remarkable highlight is Crans-Montana’s reputation as a benchmark for luxury travel. The resort is home to an exceptional collection of hotels, including Six Senses, Crans Ambassador, Hostellerie du Pas de l’Ours, Guarda, Aïda Hotel & Spa, and LeCrans, each offering a refined and memorable stay.

At 1786, we take care of finding the perfect retreat for your ski holiday in Crans-Montana, tailored to your wishes for a rejuvenating escape.

As you’ve seen, the Epic Pass in Europe gives you access to some of the Alps’ largest and most prestigious ski areas—and Les 3 Vallées is no exception. With 600 kilometers of pistes, this is the biggest ski domain in the world, offering countless advantages for Epic Pass holders.

Les 3 Vallées brings together seven resorts, including some of the most iconic in the French Alps: Courchevel, Méribel, and of course Val Thorens—voted several times the World’s Best Ski Resort.

Val Thorens, both sporty and family-friendly, boasts one of the longest ski seasons in the region, with 150 kilometers of slopes ranging from 2,300 to 3,230 meters in altitude. Here you can ski from late November to early May and enjoy a host of fun activities with friends or family: a 6-kilometer toboggan run, snowtubing, an 1,800-meter zipline, dog sledding, snowmobiling… boredom is simply not an option!

Courchevel, on the other hand, offers the ultimate luxury Alpine experience, featuring prestigious hotels such as Les Airelles Courchevel, Cheval Blanc Courchevel, and the K2 Palace. Beyond its glamorous accommodations, the resort’s charming villages invite you to stroll along welcoming streets lined with some of the world’s most renowned boutiques.

To enrich your ski holiday with truly unique, private, and off-the-beaten-path experiences, discover our exclusive activities in Les 3 Vallées: from wine and cheese tastings from Savoie to a Prestige Day featuring ice driving and a two-Michelin-starred restaurant, to a dinner inside a snow groomer, a ski food tour, après-ski in an igloo, a guided ski safari, or a fatscoot ride. We also organize guided ski touring excursions and snowshoe treks with wildlife observation—an extraordinary immersion into untouched Alpine nature.
