Other passes
4Vallees Club Card
This pass allows you to ski the 4 Vallées area at a reduced price all season (or just Valais at an even cheaper rate). The more you ski the cheaper it becomes! The pass works like a credit card with your days on the mountain being debited from the card at the end of each ski day. The rate debited is based on the time you start and the area you decide to ski and once you've bought your card, you don't need to return to the cash desk. You can buy these passes either online or at one of the lift pass offices and you can also use them in the summer.
Valais Skicard
This operates in a similar way to the 4 Vallées Club Card but is pre-paid as opposed to being charged after the fact. Valais Skicard holders charge their card with a desired amount of money, after which they’re granted direct access to the slopes without having to queue at the ticket counters. Acting as a cashier, the pass scanner automatically deducts the exact amount from your Valais SkiCard for the ticket corresponding to your age group and the time of day, as you go through the control gates. The card is non-transferable, and valid for 2 years. It is possible to extend the validity period of your points by simply recharging the card with a minimum of 100 CHF before the expiry date. Buy online.
Winter Sports Pass
A winter sports pass is also available for those looking to enjoy activities like paragliding. As well as giving access to all the lifts available to pedestrians you'll also get free entry to the sports centre, the Bagnes museum, a 30 CHF discount voucher for a tandem paragliding flight and 10% off in a mountain restaurant.
