Chile Guided Progression Tour
The Tres Valles is made up of 3 largish ski areas; Vale Nevado, El Colorado & La Parva plus the small ski area of Farellones.

This is the most popular Chile ski destination for international skiers & snowboarders due to its proximity to Santiago (approx. 40-50 km; about 1-1.5 hours drive depending on the resort). It is possible to fly into Santiago and be skiing that afternoon however weather can greatly vary the travel times.

Skiing

There is plenty of detailed information about the skiing at each resort on the actual resort pages however in general all of the terrain is alpine and relatively high elevation (up to  12,000 ft / 3,670 m). The season runs from mid June to mid October (subject to snow conditions). There is lots of mellow terrain suitable to beginners & intermediates as well as some steep technical terrain for experts.

Lodging

The most complicated thing about the Tres Valle is where to base yourself as this largely depends on your ability and what kind of ski holiday you want. Our Tres Valles accommodation page provides greater detail on this as well as the various accommodation options. In essence, if you want to have a resort-style holiday with the ease of ski-in/out accommodation then Valle Nevado or El Colorado are probably your best options. If you want more of a Chilean experience and you want to check our most or all of the ski areas the Farellones would be your best. See more about accommodation options here >>

Packages

If you prefer to organise your ski / snowboarding holiday via a travel agent, we have several package options available. Lead prices are only a guide as rates vary depending on season, demand and room configuration. See package options & get a quote here >>

Getting There

Some people choose to self-drive however there are numerous transport companies in Santiago offering transfers to/from the resorts. See the specific getting there pages for each resort for more detailed information about this. Another option could be to jump on one of the many guided tours that visit this (and other) areas....

Tres Valles Guided & Hosted Ski Tours

If you are a strong intermediate skier/boarder (and above) and are wanting to experience several ski areas; a guided tour could be more ideal (particularly if you are a solo traveler).
