Termas de Chillan Tour and Mission Impossible Lodge

Backcountry Touring adventure via Chile's mighty Termas de Chillan and surrounding volcanos

Termas de Chillan terrain is vast, beautiful, volcanic, wide open as well as rugged. What you see from the lifts barely skims the surface of the potential riding in the area.
Itineraries vary from an 1800m (3300ft) run starting on the rim of a volcanic crater and gliding down its flanks after watching the sunset, to Alaska style faces that lead into natural hot springs.

It is truly a unique 7-day ski and snowboard adventure with a full week of ski touring exploration and hospitality at the Mission Impossible Lodge in Las Trancas.

Testimonials

"We've been on multiple guided backcountry ski trips in Canada with ACMG guides so we can definitely rate this trip with experience. Phil's combination of excellent skiing, excellent guiding, trilingual, and socially robust with the locals made our experience in Chile for us wonderful. Termas de Chillan is worth coming back to explore, so much terrain! We were very satisfied with PowderQuest's organization of the trip and ability to adapt to changes in plans of the group. Can't wait until the next trip!"
