Full description

Following pick-up from your hotel (available from the districts of Providencia, Las Condes, Vitacura and Santiago Centro), depart Santiago and journey to the beautiful ski resort of Farellones. Nestled in a small valley in the Andes Mountains, Farellones was the first ski center to open in Chile and continues to attract skiers of all abilities. Take a scenic 2-hour drive along a mountain road to get wonderful views of the mountains.  During the winter, benefit from the chance to stop to rent snow gear (at your own expense), and learn more about the historical aspects of how this little community works during the winter season. Stop at the Colorado Ski Resort, the second most popular ski resort in the central region. After a brief stop, continue on the road again to adventure towards the Valle Nevado Ski Resort. Once there, enjoy free time to explore the activities available at your own expense. Try out a variety of snowsports, take the air-conditioned Gondola for amazing views of the Andes and the Paloma Glacier, or you can enjoy lunch at one of the 3 different restaurants. If you prefer, relax in the lodge and enjoy lunch (at your own expense) overlooking the snow-capped mountains. Return to Santiago and get dropped off at approximately 06:00 PM.

Puntos a tomar en cuenta para el tour: 1- En Farellones es donde encuentran las actividades de nieve, subir a Valle Nevado es de miradores y profesionales de ski. Por lo que si se quiere ir principalmente a hacer actividades recomiendo que se bajen en Farellones y no ir hasta Valle Nevado para poder disfrutar más tiempo en el parque. 2- No ir los dias viernes, sábado o domingo porque son los dias en los que se encontrarán más personas en el parque y puede que no alcance el tiempo de hacer todas las actividades por las filas. 3- Tener en cuenta que la entrada al parque no está incluida en el tour

Our driver, Jimmy, was on point at the pick-up time and took us safely to the Farellones Park, even providing us all the necessary tips concerning renting the proper outfits, how to spend our time at the Park and with every doubt we had. He also dropped us closer to our Airbnb when we came back, which was really kind of him. Basically, for those who are unclear on how the tour works: - You pay for the transportation and tips provided and that is extremelly fair, taking in consideration the difficulty of the road and the fact that you need the information the driver/guide provides. - Every other expense has to be paid apart (the tickets to the park, the outfits to use in the park and any other thing you need inside, including lockers and food). - The tour picks you up, it takes arround an hour and a half to get there (after everyone is picked up) and at the Farellones Park you have five hours to do whatever you want to. The way back takes the same time. Trully worth it!

Impresionante, maravillosa experiencia, no conocia la nieve y el parque es una maravilla. Experiencia de otro nivel, amé completamente. Si bien el tour solamente incluye los traslados es super recomendable porque ir sino es difícil. recomiendo pagar alquiler de traje completo y pagar la entrada al parque sino no podran apreciar nada.
