Itinerary
Day 1 - 4 Santiago/Tres Valles
Your Santiago Adventures representative will meet you upon arrival at Santiago’s airport to transfer you to Valle Nevado.
At an altitude of 3,670m/12,040 ft and with average snowfall of 7m/276 inches, Valle Nevado has some of the most consistently great snow conditions among the major resorts in the region. After time to settle in at the hotel, head right out to the slopes where you’ll spend the next few days shredding the powder. Most international flights arrive in the morning, so you can be skiing by noon.
Upgrade your lift ticket to also access the interconnected resorts of El Colorado & La Parva.

Day 5 Tres Valles to Los Andes
After a few hours of skiing in the morning, we will make our way to our north base in Los Andes where we will be spending the next three nights. Along the way, we’ll stop at one of the Aconcagua Valley’s local wineries to experience excellent Chilean wine. In the late afternoon, we’ll check in to the Casa San Regis hacienda for an authentic South American experience. Note: You must check out of your Valle Nevado hotel by 10:00am to receive the lift ticket this morning.

Day 6 Ski Portillo
Today you’ll visit Portillo, South America’s oldest and most famous ski resort, first opened in 1948.
