SAM Magazine— Denver, Oct. 4, 2022—Ikon Pass has added Sun Peaks Resort in British Columbia and Grandvalira Resorts Andorra in Andorra for the 2022–23 season.  With five other partners added earlier this year—Chamonix Mont-Blanc Valley, France, Sun Valley, Idaho, Snowbasin, Utah, Lotte Arai Resort, Japan, and Panorama, B.C.—Ikon Pass holders will now have access to more than 50 mountain destinations in 11 countries.

“We are thrilled to give members of the Ikon Pass community more options to ski and ride in Europe and Canada this winter with the addition of Grandvalira Resorts Andorra and Sun Peaks Resort,” said Erik Forsell, chief marketing officer of Alterra Mountain Company. 

Grandvalira Resorts Andorra is the largest “skiable area” in the Pyrenees and one of the largest in Europe. The destination is made up of three Andorran ski resorts—Grandvalira, Ordino Arcalís, and Pal Arinsal—with 215 runs and 123 lifts covering 7,599 acres, as well as multiple activities and villages.

 “Ikon Pass holders will love our spectacular views of the Pyrenees, expansive terrain, mountain activities, shopping, and our famed culinary traditions and unique culture of the country of Andorra,” said Grandvalira managing director Juan Ramón Moreno.

Ikon Pass holders will have access to seven days combined at Grandvalira Resorts Andorra’s three resorts with no blackout dates, and Ikon Base Pass holders will have access to five days, with select blackout dates. Grandvalira Resorts Andorra will also be available on the Ikon Session Pass.

Sun Peaks Resort offers 4,270 acres of skiable terrain spread across three peaks, each with a distinct character and easy access from the operation’s European inspired alpine village.

“As the second largest ski area in Canada, Sun Peaks Resort could not be more excited to join the Ikon Pass community,” said Aidan Kelly, chief marketing officer of the resort. “Our global destination is well positioned to provide strong value and hospitality for Ikon Pass holders at our easy-going, laid-back resort in the interior of British Columbia.”

Ikon Pass holders will have access to seven days at Sun Peaks Resort with no blackout dates, and Ikon Base Pass holders will have access to five days, with select blackout dates. Sun Peaks is also available on the Ikon Session Pass.
