The Valais SkiCard is a hands-free lift-pass that works on a prepayment system. It can be used for all ski resorts of the Valais, most ski areas of Vaud and some resorts in the Pre-Alps of Fribourg. It also gives access to the thermal baths of the Valais and the Gianadda Foundation in Martigny.
Valais Skicard holders can charge their card with a desired amount of money without having to queue at the ticket counters. Acting as a cashier, the pass scanner, registers your age and price category and automatically deducts the exact amount from your Valais SkiCard each time you go through the control gate.
