Valle Nevado is the largest ski resort in South America, offering extensive terrain and state-of-the-art facilities. Located high in the Andes, it features a variety of slopes, from beginner-friendly trails to advanced runs and off-piste opportunities. The resort has modern lifts and a vibrant base village with restaurants, shops, and accommodations enhance the experience. The resort’s connection to El Colorado and La Parva forms the Tres Valles ski area, providing over 100 km of slopes. Valle Nevado is a top choice for skiers seeking a dynamic, high-altitude adventure.

Recent Reviews

Another awesome Chilean resort with some fantastic vistas and wide open runs to check out. The high altitude makes many of the steep and deep runs quite challenging if not used to skiing at these elevations. Much of the resort is built downwards on the slope meaning the lobby is on the 30th floor! We did an additional ski tour in one of the neighbouring valleys which is a great technical challenge if youre looking for fresh tracks off the resort slopes. The terrain is varied enough for all levels just be sure to be aware of where you are going, some area look tantalizing but will lead you below the resort chairs meaning youll need to hitch a ride back up to base by many of the switchbacks.

Cool mountain with accommodations nearby. Not all lifts running and lifts are slow. Plenty of space and not too crowded. Terrain not extremely varied. Not everything was open when we went but there was a ton of powder.
