El Colorado Ski Resort

El Colorado Ski Resort: Chile’s Closest Alpine Escape from Santiago

The charming Chilean mountain hamlet of Farellones is situated above El Colorado Ski Resort, and both resorts are accessible with a single lift ticket. El Colorado is the most accessible ski resort for both domestic and foreign visitors, making it a well-liked option for those looking for short powder getaways. It is little over an hour away from Santiago.

Skiing the Andes

Although the Andes Mountains are the longest mountain range in the world, Chile and Argentina are home to the majority of the best ski resorts. From contemporary, world-class resorts to rural, off-the-beaten-path fields, these two countries provide a variety of ski experiences. Although certain resorts and backcountry areas continue to operate into October, the Andes ski season normally lasts from June to September.

From Resort Slopes to Untouched Backcountry

El Colorado serves all kinds of snowboarders and skiers. Guided tours take you beyond groomed slopes to off-piste powder stashes, several resorts, and difficult backcountry routes for those looking for more action. Our small-group tours handle all the logistics, allowing you to focus on carving turns and experiencing the Andes at their finest.

With more than 25 years of expertise organizing ski and splitboarding excursions across Chile, we are experts in fusing resort skiing with secluded backcountry exploration to create life-changing experiences in unspoiled landscapes.

Conclusion

El Colorado Ski Resort is ideal for both recreational skiers and adventure seekers because of its exceptional accessibility, diverse terrain, and close proximity to Santiago. El Colorado offers an amazing Andean skiing experience, whether you're exploring multi-resort backcountry routes, taking advantage of groomed slopes, or finding undiscovered powder zones.
