Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrive in Santiago

Arrive at Santiago Airport (4 PM), and get transferred to your accommodation. After settling in and resting, enjoy a dinner to prepare for the exciting skiing adventure ahead.

Day 2 - First Ski Day in Ski resort

Kick off your day early with a one-hour drive up to Farellones. Once you’ve checked in, gear up and hit the slopes at one of Chile’s top ski resorts.

Day 3 - Backcountry skiing

After meeting your guide at your accommodation for a short briefing, you'll head out to one of the area's secret freeride spots near the resort. Get ready to enjoy fresh powder and spectacular lines in the heart of the Andes, with routes ranging from intermediate to expert level. If not everyone in your group is up for the freeride adventure, they can stay at the resort to relax or even join a ski class. Some runs may require vehicle transport from the bottom back to the resort — this service is included up to twice a day if needed.

Day 4 - Backcountry or resort day

Today you have two options: you can either repeat the previous day’s adventure or stay and enjoy the resort facilities!

Day 5 - Relax & Return to the City

Spend the day at the resort, unwind, and save your energy for tomorrow’s adventures. In the afternoon, make your way back down to Santiago and enjoy the scenic drive as the mountains give way to city life.

Day 6 - Resort day at Portillo

Take a transfer to Portillo, a stunning valley about two hours from Santiago, home to one of the highest alpine lagoons in the world. Backcountry touring is optional for those seeking extra adventure. After a day in the mountains, return to Santiago for the night.

Day 7 - Departure

After six epic days on the slopes, savor your final included lunch: a culinary experience prepared by one of our favorite chefs. It’s the perfect way to wrap up your adventure, leaving both your heart and your belly full. And if you’re still craving more time on the mountain, we’re always open to making it happen.
