Vail Resorts has announced that Austrian skiing will be even more Epic with Silvretta Montafon joining the 2025/26 Epic Pass lineup. Located in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg, Silvretta Montafon offers a unique combination of sporty terrain, high-alpine scenery and reliable snow conditions. The ski area is accessible from major airports like Zurich and Munich, and spans two interconnected mountains offering diverse terrain for every skill level.
This comes in a week where Mayrhofen, Hintertux, Saalbach & Zell am See-Kaprun joined Epic Pass
"Expanding Epic Pass access to include Silvretta Montafon further opens the door to exhilarating mountain experiences in Austria," said Bill Rock, President of Vail Resorts' Mountain Division. "Silvretta Montafon isn't just home to world-class slopes— it's a destination rich in alpine tradition, stunning landscapes and hospitality that's world class."
Silvretta Montafon is nestled in the heart of the Montafon Valley, where skiers and riders can conquer numerous awe-inspiring peaks while enjoying spectacular views that stretch from the Rätikon to the Silvretta Alps. Home to over 85 miles of slopes, terrain parks, and extensive freeride areas, Silvretta Montafon attracts skiers and snowboarders looking for both challenge and variety. Highlights include the legendary "Black scorpions" steep black runs, sunrise skiing and lively après, plus a dedicated freestyle terrain park. In 2027, Silvretta Montafon will host the FIS Freestyle World Championship, one of many events to experience at the resort.
"The partnership with Vail Resorts marks a milestone for Silvretta Montafon," said Peter Marko, CEO of Silvretta Montafon. "The Epic Pass brings new guests to our mountains – people who seek athletic challenges, authenticity, and high-alpine experiences. We are truly excited to become part of this strong international family."
Vail Resorts have also announced that Austrian skiing and snowboarding will be even more Epic with Sölden joining the 2025/26 Epic Pass lineup. Located in the Ötztal Valley in Tyrol and just 52 miles from Innsbruck Airport, Sölden is famous for its premium skiing on a seamlessly connected glacier and mountain ski area. Offering reliable snow from autumn through spring, thanks to its high-altitude terrain, two glaciers and state-of-the-art snowmaking, the resort delivers a world-class experience that blends alpine sport, entertainment and wellness.
"Sölden stands out as a premier alpine destination with remarkable snow reliability and panoramic views from its mountain tops and glacier ski area," said Bill Rock, President of Vail Resorts' Mountain Division. "Sölden is a bucket-list resort that we are thrilled to add to the Epic Pass. In addition to the amazing skiing and riding, it also contains experiences that don't exist anywhere else like the 007 ELEMENTS James Bond experience and the Aqua Dome."
Sölden offers high-alpine adventure with modern flair. Highlights include the cinematic 007 ELEMENTS James Bond experience at over 9,800 feet, the ice Q gourmet restaurant made famous in "Spectre" and the BIG3 Rally across Sölden's three highest peaks. With 31 lifts and 89 miles of slopes, 33 cozy ski huts, an unmatched lineup of on-mountain entertainment and signature events, the resort is known for experiences that go far beyond skiing.
Sölden is host to the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup Opening each October, and exciting events like the Electric Mountain Festival that brings international DJs to the slopes, and the Hannibal glacier performance, a large-scale live production on snow and ice. For winter 2025/26, Sölden is once again making a bold statement in innovation and infrastructure with significant investments, including two new high-capacity lifts that further enhance glacier access and guest comfort. For ultimate relaxation, Aqua Dome – Tirol Therme is one of Europe's most iconic thermal spas and a must-visit for wellness lovers.
"We're proud to join the Epic Pass and open Sölden to a new global audience," said Jakob Falkner, CEO of Bergbahnen Sölden.
