You will spend the next few nights in this magical forested valley, where huge storms are known to settle in!

Days 2-4 – Ski/Ride Nevados de Chillan

For the next 3 full days you will explore one of Chile’s most epic ski resorts, Nevados de Chillan. Chillan is a relatively ‘undiscovered’ snow paradise offering big descents, a lunar-like landscape with many ski touring opportunities, and some of the most consistent snow in the Andes. All types of terrain are on offer, from long groomed slopes and the gentle ‘Tres Marias’ lava tubes to adventurous steeps in the Pirigallo Valley and steaming summits of the Chillan volcanoes satisfies a wide variety of adventure appetites. The evenings are spent celebrating in true Chilean hospitality with a variety of locally owned restaurants in one of the most authentic ski villages in Chile, Las Trancas.

Day 5 – Travel to Malacahuello

After lunch and visiting the extraordinary Chillan market, one of the country’s largest farmers markets, you'll continue further south into Chile’s volcanic ring of fire to the quaint village of Malacahuello. Located at the base of Volcan Lonquimay and amongst stands of ancient Araucaria trees is Corralco Mountain Resort. Offering wide-open volcanic slopes and plenty of touring opportunities the group will spend 3 days enjoying this off the beaten track Chilean gem.  Days on the mountain are complimented by enjoying hot springs soaks and more authentic Chilean hospitality in Malacahuello.

Days 6-8 - Ski/Ride Corralco – Volcan Lonquimay

Situated on Volcan Lonquimay, Corralco is an expansive mountain playground. The newly installed Cumbre lift accesses 3,000 foot/ 1,000 metre descents and wide open volcanic bowls.

Surrounded by Conquillo National Park and its famous monkey puzzle forests, Corralco offers the sublime beauty of these ancient native groves of Chile’s national tree with the massive volcanic landscape of Volcan Lonquimay. With the addition of the new lift infrastructure and excellent spring time corn harvesting, Corralco is the perfect destination for the “Endless Winter.”
