Valle Nevado Ski Resort is located nearly 10,000 feet high in the Andes Mountains, just 1.5 hours from Santiago's airport (37 miles), offering quick and easy access for international travelers. The resort, established in 1988, offers its guests access to the largest skiable domain in South America and world-class heli-skiing deep in the Andes, for a total of more than 2,000 acres of terrain. Taken in conjunction with access to two neighboring local resorts, visitors can ski or ride nearly 7,000 acres. What sets Valle Nevado apart from US and European resorts is the tremendous amount of terrain but just 1/3 the crowds. Powder can last for days and there is rarely a lift line.
