Above the village of Las Trancas, Chile, Nevados de Chillan Mountain Resort, (ex Termas de Chillan) at the base of active Volcano Chillan offers amazing terrain, powder, catskiing adventures, hotsprings and a relaxed environment.
This ski resort and backcountry paradise is located only 5 hours from Santiago and can be reached by either car, train to Chillan or flight to nearby Concepcion.
The hiking in Nevados de Chillan is excellent, accessing some of the longest descents and better terrain in the Andes including a backcountry playground that would take a full season to explore.
Fun off piste and groomers can be found all over the mountain including the 13 km Tres Marias run.
The real reason to visit Nevados de Chillan is the touring access to the peaks of Volcano Chillan and the Nevados de Chillan. We explore some of the best off-piste adventures in South America, including Shangri-La, and Pirrigallo chutes.
After a long day touring and skiing the pow, nothing beats a soak in the thermal baths at the base of the Termas de Chillan resort.
