Frontier - Las Lenas Tour

 


PowderQuest has special 
lift line, off-piste and cat ski priority in Las Lenas!

14-day guided Off Piste snow adventure to Las Lenas, Valle Nevado, Portillo, and Arpa Cat Skiing.

We start near the town of Los Andes, Chile 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, Argentina.  After a festive night, our journey continues as we visit one of Mendoza’s deluxe vineyards, tasting Argentina’s famous red wines before arriving to 7 days of some of the best skiing on Earth in Las Lenas!
