Our 8 day Classic Shortie is our most popular trip. This itinerary covers four resorts including Valle Nevado, La Parva, El Colorado and our personal favorite Termas de Chillan. We recommend this trip as a great introduction to skiing and snowboarding in Chile. This trip is a great way to ski Chile, to see what is available for possible longer trips in the future and to experience some of the Chilean's culture.
The Classic Shortie combines resort skiing/riding with off-lift hiking for advanced and expert riders. If you want to ski/ride on trail in the resorts you can! If you want to find the big drops, deep powder and best lines, out guides will hike you to it. Want to learn more back country skills? Join us for a Classic Shortie this year, it is a perfect way to experience The Andes for the first time.
Your Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive Santiago - Ski/Ride El Colorado
Arrive Santiago Int’l airport where you will be met by our guides. We will check in right before lunch and have half the day to ski at El Colorado, a perfect first day in the Andes.
Day 2: Ski/Ride Valle Nevado/La Parva
After breakfast at the hotel, we can take the day to get to know La Parva and Valle Nevado on a lift ticket that combines the two resorts. With the right conditions, our guides will offer to hike with you to La Chiminea, one the best backcountry runs in the Andes. We’ll end the day with a bite to eat at our favorite restaurant in Santiago, Etniko. In the neighborhood of
Bellavista, there are plenty of great spots to hit up after dinner.
Day 3: Travel to Termas de Chillan
On day three we journey south to the Powder capital of Chile, Termas de Chillan. Along the way we’ll stop for lunch at Migel Torres winery. After a brief stop in Chillan for dinner,
we’ll check in at our cabins at Cabanas Rucahue in Las Trancas.
Days 4-7: Ski/Ride Termas de Chillan
For four full days we will explore the best ski resort in South America, Termas de Chillan. The resort not only offers tons of vertical terrain to explore, but it continues to be a relatively “undiscovered” paradise. We will spend our evenings at our Cabins, capping our last evening with a traditional Chilean Asado, all the red meat and fine Chilean wine you can handle!
Day 8: Departure day
In the morning on day 8, we will make a last stop at the market in Chillan before heading back to Santiago. We will return by 5pm in the afternoon, so please schedule flight departures after 7pm.
