Experiencing winter in the European Alps should be on every skier and snowboarder’s bucket list. The sheer scale of the mountains, unparalleled terrain, modern and efficient lift systems, incredible vertical, accessible backcountry and seemingly endless groomed runs are hard to beat.

For many people, Europe is the pinnacle of skiing and snowboarding. Standing at the top of a run in the Alps, taking in the mind-bending views, it’s easy to understand why. There’s also something special about skiing in authentic mountain towns and villages, where skiing is such an integral part of the lifestyle. The history, culture, food and true après experience take a European ski trip to another level, making it a trip you’ll never forget.

While your Epic Australia Pass – currently available at its lowest price until October 14 – provides access to many of the best resorts in North America, you can now also access eight legendary European ski areas — seven in the Alps and one in Italy’s spectacular Dolomite Mountains.
