South Chile Excursion Description:

This trip has it all, combining a Chilean wine tour experience in Los Andes, the big city culture of Santiago, a day at Portillo Ski Resort (Backcountry Snow Cat day at Ski Arpa substitution also available) and a train ride through the countryside down south to the lesser known Nevados de Chillan ski area. While we say “lesser known” Nevados has been known for years to international pros who have filmed for years at this South American gem appreciating it’s best yearly average snowfalls in South America. This trip includes the option to add on 1-2 days of Heli Boarding or Skiing while at Nevados De Chillan.

With 2 volcanoes at the top of the resort, trees runs, endless natural wind lips, cornices and big bowls, people often refer Nevados as a snow skate park!!! Unique as well are the natural hot springs located at the base of the ski resort that we’ll be sure to hit up. The picturesque small mountain town (only 1 street) of Las Trancas is surrounded by tons of nature such as large trees and waterfalls, not to mention some of the best sunsets in the world. Some might refer to it as a South American ski bum town, we refer to it as a real deal, rustic, South America ski town where ski bums are welcome!

This trip and all our trips are for all levels of abilities and experience. If you are a pure beginner or low intermediate and would like to come on the trip we can also organize group or private lessons at an extra cost. If you have a friend or partner that is a non skier or snowboarder that would like to come, we can arrange non riding activities and will still enjoy so much of what Chile has to offer. The experience of enjoying South America is certainly not limited to riding or skiing ability.

Ready to commit to Week 2 Southern Chile? If you have the time and can come earlier, why not join us for Week 1 in Northern Chile and do the combo trip July 14th-28th. Email us at info@ovrride.com for more info.
