ABOUT THE DESTINATIONS
ABOUT THE RESORT
Welcome to the northern Patagonia region of Chile! Here in this more remote mountainous region of the Andes Mountains lies one of the best kept secrets in all of South America, both for resort and backcountry skiing. The Nevados de Chillan Ski Resort has been built on a dormant volcano with three volcanic cones towering high above the resort.
This region in Patagonia is home to lush vegetation, numerous lakes, high mountain peaks, glaciers, and some of the most stunning scenery in all of Chile! Nevados de Chillan receives copious amounts of snowfall annually, which typically leads to a longer season then most South American Resorts.
