Ski Chile Ski the Andes
It has wide slopes, great off-piste, and South Americas longest chair lift as well as enough variety to satisfy any group of skiers. With nine lifts (one triple seat, three double seats and five surface) it has the longest run in South America, at 13kms. There are two sensible hotel choices here, Gran Termas and Piramihuida. The Gran Termas is the one we include on this holiday although we can change that to suit you. It is a five star hotel and, in terms of the overall quality of rooms, service, food and décor, is the best ski hotel in Chile.
Off-piste in Chillán.
The hotel is ski in/out and besides, it has its own volcanic hot springs wonderful after a day on the slopes. The Piramihuida is a more informal three star option based in a village seven kilometres from the slopes. There are regular shuttle buses to get you up to the resort. This is a great option for anyone on a tighter budget or if you like the idea of staying in a proper Chilean village. (b,d)
