Tres Volcanos Tour

Backcountry touring in Chile with active volcanoes, hotsprings, culture & powder


The “3 Volcanoes” 10-day ski tour takes us deeper into the southern Andes. Our goal: bag three of Southern Chile’s most beautiful volcanos via alpine ski touring. The volcanos, Villarica, Lonquimay, and Llaima soar thousands of meters above the fertile lands and national reserves of Chile’s stunning 8th and 9th regions.
 
The three descents alone offer over 15,000 vertical feet of classic volcanic skiing, and we will explore thousands more in the days between. 

Backcountry Touring Focus:  For to the advanced and expert skier and rider looking to earn his turns and venture into the spectacular world of volcanic ski touring using alpine touring gear.  Plus expansive off-piste freeriding around the local ski resorts and beyond.

Ski Mountaineering Focus:  A guided adventure for experts, generally not ski lift assisted, with incredible backcountry alpine touring access.
