La Parva Ski Resort

La Parva Ski Resort A Unique Andean Treasure in Chile

Just 45 miles from Santiago's international airport (SCL), La Parva Ski Resort, tucked away at 9,000 feet in the high Chilean Andes, provides an amazing snow experience. La Parva is a component of Chile's famous Tres Valles (Three Valleys), which are the biggest skiable region in the Southern Hemisphere, together with its nearby resorts, Valle Nevado and El Colorado.

Explore the Vast Tres Valles Ski Area

The Three Valleys together encompass around 7,000 acres of skiable terrain, making it a snow lover's paradise. There are plans to combine Valle Nevado and La Parva, resulting in roughly 5,000 acres of linked, lift-served terrain with 30 ski lifts and 84 designated routes. Supported by MCP, who operate ski resorts all across the United States, this ambitious integration is their first foray outside of North America.

When completely linked, skiers and snowboarders will have easy access to a vast array of runs, all of which are surrounded by the striking Andes peaks, providing an experience on par with the greatest resorts in the world.

Why La Parva Stands Out

Despite being the smallest resort in the Three Valleys, La Parva is more than capable of competing. The resort is particularly well-liked by intermediate and advanced-intermediate snowboarders and skiers since it provides:

  • A large expanse of groomed runs for intermediates
  • Challenging terrain for experts
  • A terrain park for freestyle enthusiasts
  • Easy access to legendary Andes backcountry zones

With an almost one-kilometer vertical plunge (3,630 meters/11,910 ft) La Parva offers significant elevation and snow depth. In strong years, the ski season can go into October, although it usually lasts from June until late September.

An Exclusive Local Atmosphere

La Parva has a more upscale, boutique feel since it draws less foreign visitors than its bigger neighbors, Valle Nevado and El Colorado. Season after season, many wealthy Chileans come back, giving La Parva a genuine, local vibe that makes it seem distinctively Chilean.

Conclusion 

La Parva Ski Resort is an essential destination for skiers looking for quiet slopes, amazing snow, and easy access to the renowned Andes backcountry. La Parva provides the ideal balance of terrain, culture, and altitude, whether you're an expert rider searching for powder fields or an intermediate skier yearning for broad groomers.

Discover the attraction and excitement of one of Chile's best-kept ski locations. In the center of the Andes, experience boutique luxury by booking a stay at La Parva Ski Resort.
