4 Best Ski Passes Worth the Investment This Winter

"If you plan on doing a lot of international travel this season, the Ikon Pass is a great way to make your way around the world to far-off resorts like Zermatt Matterhorn in Switzerland." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"The Matterhorn Just as Rome has the Colosseum and Paris the Eiffel Tower, so Switzerland has the Matterhorn. Located above Zermatt, this 48,195-foot wonder attracts hordes of visitors, eager to see the morning sunlight beam off its four faces, ski its neighboring mountains, or even attempt to climb the beast itself. The Matterhorn, however, is not for the faint-hearted and has claimed the lives of more than 500 people since it was first scaled in 1865—an average of 12 per year. It’s also been replicated at Disneyland in California as a rollercoaster."
