Chile Volcano Skiing An Unforgettable Backcountry Adventure

The Chile Volcanoes Backcountry Tour is the best way to discover southern Chile if you're looking for incredible powder, untamed backcountry skiing, and rocky volcano terrain. Expert skiers and splitboarders looking for a genuinely isolated and thrilling Andean experience are the target audience for this excursion.

Explore Chile’s Legendary Volcanoes

This guided adventure, which is led by two qualified UIAGM/IFMGA guides, leads you deep into the Andes to explore famous peaks like Volcano Lonquimay and Volcano Villarrica as well as other hidden treasures. You'll discover some of the most pristine backcountry terrain in southern Chile, which PowderQuest has been happy to call home for more than 25 years, every day.

Refuel with locally produced food, enjoy some of Chile's famous red wines, and relax in cozy lodges while admiring the Andes after a long day of volcanic skiing and snowboarding.

Highlights of the Chile Volcanoes Tour

  • Professionally guided adventures on snow-drenched Chilean volcanoes.

  • Relaxing mineral hot springs to soothe your muscles after a day on the slopes.

  • Stunning landscapes and old-growth forests, including the legendary Araucaria or “monkey puzzle trees.

  • Immersion in Pucon’s local culture, Chile’s adventure capital.

Who Should Join

This trip is intended for very experienced splitboarders and skiers. On steep and diverse terrain, including hard-packed snow, participants should feel comfortable. In addition to having solid competence in splitboarding or ski touring, including effective transitions, skinning steep slopes, and performing kick turns, you must be able to ski ungroomed black diamond routes without concern. On flat terrain, snowboarders should maintain a steady pace, keep firm traverse lines, and glide fluidly in unison, occasionally with the aid of ski poles.
