A trip for heliskiing lovers in one of the most beautiful places of Chile: Cipreses Valley. Join Rodrigo, a certified mountain guide, in a great adventure!
8 Days
Jun - Sep
Cipreses Valley is located in the province of Chachapoal, more precisely in the Cipreses National Park. Is has a unique fauna and flora and is ideal for practicing nature activities.
I propose a 8-day program in which we’ll discover the spectacular Andes mountains while doing this great activity: Heliski. I bring all my knowledge and experience to make you live an unforgettable experience.
– DAY 1: Meeting at the Santiago de Chile airport. Then we’ll move to the lodge in the mountain where we spend the night.
– DAY 2 – 6: The first heliskiing day we’ll take it slowly to be acclimatize to the altitude. The next days we’ll enjoy amazing heliski routines in which we’ll appreciate the incredible landscapes that Andes’s offers.
– DAY 7: After taking our breakfast, we have the last heli ski day in the Andes. Afterwards, we take a transfer to Santiago where we spend our last night in a 5 stars hotel.
– DAY 8: Finally, we’ve breakfast in the morning and then fly back to home.
During all the trip, we’ll stay in the spectacular VIK lodge. It is really comfortable accommodation, with a great design and located in a great natural setting.
As a final point, participants should be in a good physical condition and have some prior heliski experience.
What are some recommended accommodations near our adventure location?

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.
