When should I go?
The ski season generally runs from late June to the end of September. In terms of snow, mid-July through early/mid-September are the best.

June and September are generally considered low season, August high and July peak.

How active?
As energetic as you want, with plenty of opportunities for relaxing or trying alternatives to ski.

How comfortable?
Lovely five star hotel in Chillán with all of the facilities one would expect. In addition, the hotel has its own spa and natural hot springs. There is a bar which hosts live music and events every evening.

Centrally located five star hotel in Santiago.

There are various options at the different resorts, call Pura on 0845 22 55 058 or +44 (0)1273 676712 to discuss your choices.

How independent?
Whilst at Chillán you ski in/out so really there is no need for anyone to look after you.

Back in Santiago we arrange for the transfers to and from the slopes and give you all relevant information to allow you to get around.

You have access to our representative in Santiago in case of need.

How responsible?
Pura Aventura is passionate about the places it visits.
To help preserve the integrity of these destinations we:

• Keep groups small to minimise environmental impact.

• Work directly with local businesses and organisations to directly benefit local economies. We use small, locally owned hotels and restaurants. We know the owners except in the large cities.

• Work with local guides so that our holidays are more interesting for clients and more beneficial locally.
• Make payment to suppliers before our clients arrive.
