Space for your notes and questions for us
The transfer to Portillo is much longer at over two hours (140km), it is worth it though. The setting is exquisite: a high Andean valley with the Laguna del Inca reflecting 5,000m peaks. Portillo has a subtle magic to it which gets to most people, lots of whom come back year after year. This despite the fact that peoples general reaction, on arrival, is that Portillo is very small. The actual slope infrastructure is 12 lifts serving 23 slopes. Of these 10% are for beginners, 70% for intermediate-advanced and 20% for experts. In truth you could ski the entire resort comfortably in a day although there is a lot of very challenging offpiste. The resort has the superb va et vient lifts essentially four person drag lifts which take you up the steepest of slopes at something like 30km an hour. It is more like a rollercoaster than a ski lift. The purpose of these lifts is to get you high onto the valley walls from where you can access the large powder fields running down towards the lake.
Serious and extensive off-piste supplements a fairly small slope network.
