Backcountry skiing day tours around Santiago, Chile

Would you like to participate in a stunning skiing adventure in the Andes? Then join me in Chile for a backcountry experience near Santiago!

Santiago, the capital of Chile and one of the largest cities in South America, is a popular tourist destination. Flanked by the main chain of the Andes and the Pacific Ocean, it offers quick and easy access to the best skiing areas of the country.

For this backcountry adventure, I will pick you up in Santiago and drive you around 50 kms to La Parva or Valle Nevado. Valle Nevado and La Parva are both part of the Tres Valles (Three Valleys) region, which also includes El Colorado resort. The mountains in this area receive top-quality snow during the winter, and offer many untracked areas to explore.

Depending on the weather conditions, we will climb Cerro la Parva or/and Cerro el Pintor and find some amazing powder terrain. From then, we will enjoy exciting descents on narrow couloirs and steep slopes!

On the other days, we could visit the Cajon del Maipo area, a beautiful gorge located an hour and a half southeast of Santiago. This scenic area, home to El Morado Natural Monument, offers awesome untracked terrain that you will explore under expert guidance. We will have a nice ski on the base of San Jose volcano and its surroundings.

Please note that this trip is for good skiers: you don’t need to be an expert in the backcountry, but you should be able to face any kind of ski resort piste. In addition, a good fitness level is necessary to join this activity.

So, are you up for this thrilling winter adventure around Santiago? Then get in touch with me and let’s go backcountry skiing in the Andes!
