Cimarra Norte Tour

Powder adventure via Chile's ski resorts Valle Nevado, La Parva,  Colorado, Termas de Chillan

"Cimarra" in Chile means to skip work or school.
Your Cimarra starts with 3 days of deep snow in Central Chile's famous off piste, backcountry, and resorts of Valle Nevado, El Colorado and La Parva.
 
After a night of Santiago's urban culture, it's south, for phenomenal powder and volcanic terrain of Termas de Chillan. The perfect trip for skiers and riders looking to skip the typical "ski week" for culture and guided off piste and backcountry excursions around Chile's best ski areas. 

  

"This trip opened my eyes to a whole new world. Thanks for teaching me how to put turbo power into my turns, and most of all thanks for leading us to amazing vistas and lines."

Donn H.

Off Piste Focus: For advanced to expert skiers or snowboarders looking for the perfect combo of ski lift serviced off-piste terrain and short hikes taking us beyond the ski area boundaries away from the crowds, plus options to push further out and hike and ride one of Chile's active volcanoes.

Backcountry Touring Focus: A guided adventure for strong advanced or experts looking to combine backcountry touring using alpine ski touring equipment (randonee, telemark, snowshoes, or splitboards) plus expansive off-piste freeriding around the local ski resorts and beyond.
