Frontier - Las Lenas Tour

 

Off Piste adventure to Valle Nevado, Portillo, El Arpa Cat Ski, and Las Lenas

We start north of Santiago, near the town of Los Andes, where our comfortable hotel accesses Portillo, one of the world's top ski resorts and fantastic cat skiing with El Arpa SnowCats!  After a few days of powder we are off to the steeps of Valle Nevado, Colorado and La Parva.

We fly across the massive Andean frontier to the beautiful city of Mendoza.  After a festive night, our journey continues as we visit one of Mendoza’s deluxe vineyards, tasting Argentina’s famous red wines with lunch before arriving to 7 days of some of the best skiing on Earth in Las Lenas! 

"The PowderQuest Frontier-Las Lenas tour is a great introduction to South American skiing. Great variety of experiences both skiing and culture."
