Ski Chile’s top resorts with a local guide and everything taken care of
Just 60 km from Santiago, the Andes offer over 100 km of slopes and some of the best snow conditions in South America.
This private ski day takes you to Valle Nevado, La Parva, or El Colorado with everything arranged: hotel pickup, lift tickets, gear rental, and the company of a bilingual local guide who knows the mountain inside out.
Beyond skiing with comfort and safety, you’ll learn about the geography and cultural history of the Chilean Andes.
From many slopes, you’ll enjoy views of legendary peaks rising over 5,000 meters, like Cerro El Plomo — where an Inca child mummy was found in 1954.
The dry, sunny winters of central Chile create ideal skiing conditions, far from the crowds of northern resorts.
A perfect day for those who want to ski stress-free, guided by experts in a unique natural and cultural setting.
If you’re an experienced skier looking for a different challenge, you can also choose Portillo as your destination (about 2 hours from Santiago) for an additional fee.
