Description

Would you like to participate in a stunning skiing adventure in the Andes? Then join me in Chile for a backcountry experience near Santiago!

Santiago, the capital of Chile and one of the largest cities in South America, is a popular tourist destination. Flanked by the main chain of the Andes and the Pacific Ocean, it offers quick and easy access to the best skiing areas of the country.

For this backcountry adventure, I will pick you up in Santiago and drive you around 50 kms to La Parva or Valle Nevado. Valle Nevado and La Parva are both part of the Tres Valles (Three Valleys) region, which also includes El Colorado resort. The mountains in this area receive top-quality snow during the winter, and offer many untracked areas to explore.

Depending on which of these two ski resorts we start from, we will climb either Cerro la Parva or Cerro el Pintor and find some amazing powder terrain. From then on, you will enjoy exciting descents on narrow couloirs and steep slopes! Furthermore, you can extend your adventure as many days as you like and make this experience even better!

Keep in mind that this trip requires you to have intermediate piste skiing skills. Additionally, you will need a good fitness level as we will have to carry our skis during the ascent. However, I can adapt the itinerary according to your abilities and wishes. 

So, are you up for this thrilling winter adventure around Santiago? Then get in touch with me and let’s go backcountry skiing in the Andes!

You are also welcome to check out the ice climbing tours that I offer in the area.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
