Additionally, you will relish traditional dinners cooked at home, relax in volcanic hot springs, and partake in the lively nightlife of Chillán and the Farellones ski village.

Cozy Stay at the Powder Lodge

Your adventure begins at the lovely Powder Lodge in Farellones village, a small but comfortable hotel with ensuite rooms adorned with warm wood and stone elements. The lodge, situated within walking distance of the top nightlife venues, provides all-inclusive breakfast and dinner options, a sauna, soothing massages, and outdoor hot tubs filled with natural mineralized geothermal water.

The ski-in/ski-out hotel is designed with sustainability in mind, utilizing recycled wood and geothermal heating from natural sources; this makes the experience even more special and sustainable. After a day skiing or snowboarding, relaxing in the mineral-laden hot springs while looking up at the mountains topped with snow is the best way to unwind.
