The Colorado perspective
High Andes.
Easy to understand.
Valle Nevado combines altitude, broad landscapes and a self-contained resort structure within reach of Santiago. It is one of the most straightforward first snow journeys from Brazil — provided the hotel, transfer, lessons and travel dates are chosen carefully.
It suits families, couples and mixed-ability groups who prefer to stay on the mountain and have the practical elements close at hand.

Who it suits
A complete week in the snow.
- First-time skiers who want lessons and services close by.
- Families looking for practical logistics and different ability levels.
- Intermediate skiers who enjoy broad, open terrain.
- Couples and friends who prefer staying slopeside.
It may be less suitable for travellers seeking a traditional village, extensive shopping or varied nightlife. In that case, a stay in Santiago before or after the mountain adds contrast.
Where to stay

Access and planning
From Santiago
to the Andes.
Valle Nevado is 70 km from Santiago International Airport. The final mountain road has numerous bends; travel time varies considerably with traffic, weather and winter controls. A private transfer is the most comfortable solution for most Colorado clients.
Practical questions
Before you
choose the dates.
Is Valle Nevado suitable for beginners?+
Yes. The resort has learning terrain, ski and snowboard school and rental facilities. Lessons booked in advance make the first days easier.
How many nights should I stay?+
Valle Nevado hotels operate with fixed packages of 3, 4 or 7 nights. Different lengths are normally possible only in the condominium residences, subject to availability and the rules for each unit.
Can non-skiers enjoy the resort?+
Yes. Mountain views, restaurants and panoramic gondola rides make it possible to enjoy the Andes without skiing, although the experience is primarily mountain-oriented.
Should I drive from Santiago?+
In winter, we normally recommend a private transfer. The mountain road has many bends and may be subject to traffic controls and snow-chain requirements.
