Las Lenas Skiing Adventure

Las Lenas Skiing Adventure: Chile to Argentina Backcountry Discovery

Look no farther than our award-winning Backcountry Discovery tour if you're hoping for a South American ski journey that will never be forgotten. You will go deep into the Andes on an 11-day ski and snowboard trip, from the peaks of Chile to the renowned slopes of Las Leñas, Argentina.


This trip was meticulously updated for our wilderness Discovery series after formerly being a part of our advanced touring portfolio. It is ideal for daring riders who wish to see the wilderness without committing to full-day climbs. This vacation offers the ultimate Andes experience, complete with lift-accessed sightseeing, knowledgeable guides, and a combination of skiing, culture, and leisure.


Enjoy a full day of cat skiing at Arpa Snowcats in Chile, a variety of lift-accessed backcountry terrain, and several chances to learn about the wines, food, and culture that make this area so distinctive. Enjoy world-class Malbecs, regional cuisines, and the lively Andean environment every evening while you relax.


Why This Ski Adventure Stands Out

  • Explore two stunning countries with bilingual IFMGA or ACMG-certified guides


  • Experience a full day of cat skiing at Chile’s legendary Arpa Snowcats with 3000-foot vertical descents


  • Ski lift-accessed backcountry terrain at Valle Nevado, La Parva, and El Colorado before crossing into Argentina


  • Ride like a local at Las Leñas with guide-led access to hidden stashes, incredible off-piste terrain, and light touring options


  • Discover Santiago’s nightlife and the rich wine country of Mendoza, Argentina


  • Enjoy an exclusive vineyard tour, wine tasting, and gourmet lunch on the way to Las Leñas


Mountain Retreats and Hotels

Farellones


At 7874 feet, in the center of the Farellones ski village, stay in a comfortable mountain lodge. After a day on the slopes, you may unwind and enjoy the sunset in the lodge's outdoor hot tub, which has tiny but cozy ensuite rooms and convenient access to the ski area.


Santiago


During your overnight stays, take advantage of the conveniences of a luxurious hotel in Santiago that is well situated for exploring the city and its exciting nightlife. Continue traveling the next day via the famous wine region of Mendoza before entering Argentina's fabled highlands.


Hotel Piscis, Las Leñas


The opulent ski-in/ski-out Hotel Piscis in Las Leñas is where your journey comes to an end. A comprehensive health club with a spa, sauna, jacuzzi, and indoor and outdoor pools is located here. Enjoy a massage and top-notch cuisine with views of the surrounding Andes after a long day on the slopes.

Summing Up the Journey

A ski vacation to Las Leñas is more than just a vacation when combined with Chile's stunning scenery; it's an unmatched alpine and cultural experience. Combining the thrill of backcountry skiing, the magic of Arpa's cat skiing, and the many tastes of South America, this journey blends skiing with an authentic cultural experience. Whether you're seeking new snow, exploring uncharted territory, or sipping Malbecs in Mendoza, this Backcountry Discovery trip delivers memories that will last a lifetime.
