Best Ski Resort for Value in South America: Valle Nevado - Value for Money Rating

Looking for value in Valle Nevado? The picture is mixed based on our community's feedback. One Snomad user mentions taking advantage of the daily transport from Santiago at 42 USD round trip through Ski Total, which is a budget-friendly option compared to on-mountain stays. The resort sits high in the Andes, providing reliable snow conditions that justify the cost for many visitors. However, some users point to slow lifts and variable terrain accessibility as value detractors. For the complete experience, consider the multi-resort pass connecting to neighbouring areas, which several skiers recommend for maximising your Chilean skiing investment.
