Chile Ski Portillo Holiday » Itinerary

Arrive in the resort of Portillo today, a three hour drive north of Chile’s capital, Santiago.

Ski in the stunning surroundings of Portillo, a high Andean valley with the Laguna del Inca reflecting 5,000m peaks.

Portillo is small. The infrastructure is 12 lifts serving 23 slopes. Of these 10% are for beginners, 70% for intermediate-advanced and 20% for experts.

In addition to the slope network there is fantastic off piste, made accessible by the superb ‘va et vient’ lifts – essentially four person drag lifts which take you up the steepest of slopes at speeds approaching 30km an hour.

With a maximum of 450 guests each week, Portillo offers incredible levels of service, delicious food and a uniquely intimate environment for a ski resort.

As well as great levels of service, only 450 guests means near empty slopes.

Portillo has a magic to it which gets to most guests. Many return year after year.

Check out this morning though you can continue to ski all day if you like.
