Why Chile?
Flying into Santiago you get an instant snow report out the window — some of the highest ranges of the Andes rise behind the city. Not surprisingly, they offer some fantastic skiing and snow riding opportunities. Valle Nevado is the premier Santiago resort, unabashedly exclusive, and with its neighbours El Colorado and La Parva makes up the Three Valleys. If conditions are good you can upgrade to ski over to either. Valle Nevado is easily the best to stay at, with better facilities and limits on day skiers. Three hours north of Santiago on the high pass over to Argentina is famous Portillo, which you may have seen in a Warren Miller movie. It offers a unique 'cruise liner on snow' experience. Or 400km south is our Chilean ski secret, the beautiful thermal spa & ski resort of Termas de Chillan. Chile can receive some of the driest powder snow in the Southern Hemisphere and one of the few places in the world you can ski down a Volcano. Choose one or more for your dose of Chile powder, let our staff recommend combinations to suit your available time and budget.
