Santiago Travel Guide: 948 reviews and 2,197 photos
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 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.
- Pros:Valle Nevado- Awesome Summer Ski Resort
- In a nutshell:International Playground for year round Snow skiing

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.-)
One of my long-time travel dreams is to get on a plane on July 4th, on the way to snow skiing in South America. Enjoyed the page, Steph.,
You're really kicking it for just a week on the job! You go girl!
Nice start, Santiago is a very beautiful city.
Lovely page!
Whooey!, now that's a ski vacation!! thx.
