Summer Skiing in Valle Nevado

Valle Nevado located 10,000 ft above Santiago in the Heart of the Andes is a spectacular location for summer skiing. The resort itself excels in accomodations, service and cuisine. The disco is lively and fun as well as the after-ski buffets and entertainment. Valle Nevado is an international playground that draws olympic teams and people from all over the world.

Santiago - The Gateway City

Santiago is a unique historical city rooted with European architecture and a latin flare of life. Surrounded by the Andes it is only a 2 hour drive to Valle Nevado.

    Together with Bariloche and Las Lenas, Valle Nevado definitely has the best skiing/snowboarding in Soouth America. Being Swiss, I doubt though that the fondue in Chile was better than in Switzerland.-)
