Chile Snow Adventure Tour

 

Chile Snow Adventure

Off Piste guided snowboard and ski tour in Chili for advanced and experts looking for culture and guided out of bounds excursions around Chile's best ski areas including not to be missed Nevados de Chillan.

 

The quaint Farellones village gives us access to the resorts of La Parva, El Colorado, and Valle Nevado with endless dry Andean powder.

 

We continue the trip visiting one of the world's top rated resorts; Portillo, plus ski Chile's only Cat skiing operation, Ski Arpa.  Recently hailed as one of the best ski experience on the planet by Ski Magazine.

 

After a scenic road journey through central Chile, visit Chillan's market for a taste of the local Indian and rural culture.   Then it's more excellent skiing on the beautiful Chillan Volcano and ski resort, Nevados de Chillan, one of our favorite gems in South America!
