Frontier Las Lenas Tour

A guided Off Piste trip for advanced and expert skiers and riders to the best of Chile and Argentina including special lift line, off-piste and cat ski priority in Las Lenas!

This 12 day classic starts near the town of Los Andes, Chile where our comfortable hotel is strategically based between Portillo, one of the world's best ski resorts and fantastic cat skiing with El Arpa SnowCats! After a few days of powder we are off to the resorts of Valle Nevado, Colorado and La Parva, with over 25,000 acres of terrain.

We fly across the massive Andean frontier to the beautiful city of Mendoza, Argentina. After a festive night on the city, our journey continues as we visit one of Mendoza’s deluxe vineyards, tasting Argentina’s famous red wines before arriving to 5 days of some of the best skiing on Earth in Las Lenas, Argentina!
