It is not only the most recent winter resort in our country, but also the largest and most modern. Located at 3,025 m above sea level, 60 km from Santiago, it has a skiable area of ​​9,000 hectares and a drop of 810 m. Together with those of La Parva and El Colorado-Farellones, they constitute the largest skiable area in South America. In addition, the center has the infrastructure to make snow, and cover 30% of the skiable area.



For snowboarding fans, Valle Nevado has taken care to be up-to-date on a technological level and thus keep its Snow Park and Half Pipe in perfect condition. The Half Pipe allows you to experience the Free Style modality, practiced frequently; and the Snow Park has a special place reserved for jumps, figures and various pirouettes (it can also be used with skis).



This season, too, the ski center has specific programs for heliskiing and heliboarding and for this Valle Nevado has a Bell 407 helicopter that takes athletes to altitudes of 4,500 meters. Accompanied by experienced guides, they descend through virgin snows with more than 2,000 meters of unevenness, to slide down the majestic and steep slopes of the Andes Mountains.

The ski center has permanent attention on slopes of 20 ski patrols of the center itself, to which is added the support of the Chilean Ski Patrol Corps (ten additional volunteers on weekends, vacations and holidays). They are people trained with first aid and mountain rescue courses.
