Did you know you can ski fresh powder in July or August? While the Northern Hemisphere is sweating through summer, it’s full-on winter in Chile — and Valle Nevado is calling.
There’s something magical about skiing above the clouds in the heart of the Andes — and Valle Nevado, Chile’s crown jewel of snow, delivers that magic in full force.
From the moment you arrive, the vast open terrain, breathtaking mountain views, and crisp alpine air make it clear: this isn't just a ski trip — it's an experience.
With over 2,200 acres of skiable terrain, Valle Nevado offers endless runs for intermediate and advanced skiers. Wide groomers, untouched powder zones, and slopes that let you carve in peace — often with nobody else in sight. Want to race down a freshly groomed red run with the whole mountain to yourself? This is the place.
The all-inclusive hotels (like the iconic Hotel Puerta del Sol) put you steps from the lifts, and while some rooms might feel dated, waking up this close to the slopes is worth it. Not into hotels? Airbnb apartments offer ski-in/ski-out access — just bring groceries from Santiago, because once you're up here, options are limited and prices high.
What makes Valle Nevado truly special isn’t just the snow — it’s the vibe. It’s grilling on the balcony after a long day. It’s watching the sun dip behind jagged peaks from your living room. It’s the feeling of being far away from everything — and exactly where you want to be.
And if you’ve got an IKON Pass, good news: this is the only resort in South America where it works. Just show it at the ticket office, and you’re set.
Quiet weekdays, stunning terrain, and soul-refreshing scenery — Valle Nevado isn’t just a destination, it’s a high-altitude escape.
