Ski Chile \| Snowboard Chile Snow skiing in Chile has it all. From legendary and top rated Chile ski resorts like Portillo, Valle Nevado, and La Parva, to the volcanic terrain of Termas de Chillan, Lonquimay, Llaima and Pucon, the Chilean Andes Mountains leave little flatland. Chili is a paradise for skiing and snowboarding during the South American winter. For prime powder Chile skiing conditions, the best time to ski Chile is mid July to early September.

Chile Ski Resorts

The ski resorts in Chile operate from mid-June into October, with the best powder conditions in July to mid September. Chile has recently been praised as one of the greatest places to ski on the planet.

Snow Magazine ran an article where well known American ski instructor, Greg Harms, was quoted:

"If I had to pick only one place in the world to ski, I would pick Chile. I would give up skiing in North America for that."

Other reviews of Chile ski resorts have been recently featured in Ski Magazine.

There are more than 15 ski resorts in Chile dotting the mighty Andes Mountain range stretching from just north of the capital city of Santiago all the way south, deep into Patagonia. While Ski Portillo, Valle Nevado, and Termas de Chillan are the most well known Chile ski areas, there are many others worth visiting this summer. Check out this Ski Chile Video.

The Best Ski Resorts in Chile

Most skiers and snowboarders think of Portillo as the Best ski resort in Chili. Portillo receives plenty of media attention and should certainly be on your skiing or snowboarding "bucket list". However with great skiing to be found throughout the country, why just visit one ski area in Chile?

The "3 Valles" combines Valle Nevado, La Parva, and El Colorado ski resort. These areas offer amazing in-bounds skiing and snowboarding and a great access gate to backcountry exploring. You can be skiing these resorts by noon on the day of your arrival to Santiago!

Looking for something more unique? Don't miss the remote adventure cat skiing of El Arpa. Chile's first cat ski operation.

Further south are the majestic snow-covered volcanoes and hot springs. Nevados de Chllan is the most well known with amazing terrain, old growth forest, and thermal pools. To get further away from the crowds, be sure to visit Corralco, Las Araucarias, Pucon and Antillanca ski resorts. All at the bases of stunning volcanoes surrounded by monkey puzzle old growth forests. Snow skiing in Chile cant be missed!
