Day 1 - Arrive into Santiago
Arrive into Santiago and check-in to your 4 star hotel located on the edge of Santiago at the foot of the Andes. Meet your guides and fellow skiers and riders over some Chilean home-cooked dishes in the colorful bohemian barrio of Bella Vista. Next it’s off to explore Santiago with all its history and wonder. Then get a good night’s sleep for your first Chilean ski day!
Day 2 - Ski Valle Nevado
The newest of the “Three Valleys” resorts, Valle Nevado was developed in 1998 and is home to the only high-speed detachable chair in Chile. It has a very international feel to it with a large hotel complex perched on the resort’s edge. Here you can ski the highest elevations in Chile for resort skiing.
Day 3 - Ski El Colorado
One of the “Three Valleys” resorts, El Colorado is where Chilean skiing began in the 1930’s with the first lift installed in 1953. It’s home to day skiers from Santiago and international ski teams training Slalom and GS due to the great pitch on this conical shaped mountain. You will enjoy long runs with good pitch and open fields of off-piste.
Day 4 - Ski La Parva
One of the resorts of the “Three Valleys”, La Parva has an uncrowded country club feel as this is home to the wealthier Chileans and their condos since the late 50’s. You will enjoy lots of terrain features and powder stashes with long runs that allow them to run official FIS downhills.
Day 5 - Sightseeing-Travel to Nevados de Chillán
A cultural day as you travel south into volcano country with spectacular scenery while passing through the heart of Chile’s famous Central Valley, source of Chile’s fruits and famous wine making grapes. Your first stop is the beautiful Miguel Torres Vineyard for a tour and wine tasting. For lunch you will enjoy a traditional Chilean “asado” (barbecue). Later you will visit a colorful outdoor market in the historical city of Chillán. Here you will have a chance to find a unique souvenir from Chile.
Days 6, 7, 8 - Ski Nevados de Chillán
The single largest ski area in South America in terms of acreage, Nevados de Chillán is situated on a live double coned volcano called Chillán. The traditional ski area statistics do not do this unique ski area justice. You will experience large open treeless off-piste fields, as trees don’t grow on lava! So few people and so much area you can ski fresh tracks days after the storm!
Day 9 - Travel to Santiago for Departure
Today we say our farewells as you travel back to Santiago and the airport for your evening flight, or to your hotel if you have planned additional days in Chile. On the way we will all enjoy a farewell lunch together at a famous restaurant for locals.

It’s more than a ski adventure. It was one of the best holidays I’ve ever experienced. The country, the culture, everything was the best. We’ve experienced the best with the best.

This trip has been one of the best experiences of my life, not just the skiing, but the whole package.

A real skier’s ski holiday. If you love all terrain skiing and want to become proficient off the piste it’s superb! Great mix of instruction and free skiing. Gerry’s instruction was superb and an excellent guide. Gerry will improve you what ever your level.

I was exposed to lots of very different terrain and conditions that I have never seen before. I am a lot more confident now and have more of the mountain open to me.
