Best Ski Resort for Quiet Slopes in South America: Valle Nevado - Quiet Slopes Rating

Valle Nevado earns top marks from our users for uncrowded slopes, particularly impressive for a resort just an hour from Chile's capital. The high altitude (base above 3000m) means you'll often find plenty of space to enjoy your turns without feeling crowded. One Snomad community member liked that there's "plenty of space and not too crowded", though they noted not all lifts were running during their visit. Local skier Bastian highlights the resort's elevated position which contributes to better snow quality and quantity compared to neighbouring resorts. However, busy days can bring first-timers who might scatter their equipment across the pistes.
