In a 3 days / 2 nights tour the added day and night can be spent in the Colchagua valley, lodging in Santa Cruz. One more additional day (4 days / 3 nights) can include the Radal National Park (7 Tazas) and the associated activities, thus including the 3 geographical regions… the Andes to the sea. |

The 18 hole course was designed by course architect Mauricio Sylleros and is played on 150 acres of selected grasses, distancing 6,600 yards. 30 varieties of trees adorn this lovely course located in Chile's breadbasket. Club rentals are available for those traveling lightly and local caddies will guide us through the links.

8 days, 7 nights; Backcountry Skiing, Spring program
Years ago I discovered that the Andes a short distance south of Santiago have the same incredible terrain and twice the annual snowfall as the resorts near the capitol. So when the resorts close I spend the next month(s) touring and guiding in the area. I've developed a network among the local miners, horsemen, lodge and authorities. This has led to developing a backcountry skiing excursion that provides the necessary logistics, support and incredible skiing to offer a truly unforgettable experience. Having exclusive access to tour this vast section of the Andes means that guests are guaranteed first descents. This tour is not just for backcountry experts. This tour is a chance for advanced skiers with limited or no touring experience to learn from professionals.
|
|
The following itinerary is the optimal version of this incredible tour. The dates for this tour are pretty specific and I offer the tour for one group only, at the end of the ski season. The ideal starting dates for this tour are the second or third week of September, but snow conditions often allow for touring this area in October as well. The eight days can coincide to include 5 weekdays plus two weekends, making it easier to schedule.
The itinerary can include a couple days at the end for a quick detour through the wine country and coast which travelers coming this far shouldn't miss getting at least a taste of. The first days at Valle Nevado, can be eliminated to shorten the tour. The concept of the tour is to lodge and eat well after each day's strenuous activity. Extended treks can also be incorporated into the program.
|
Day 1
We start our tour with a morning pick up in Santiago at the international airport or your hotel. We head straight to the Andes, arriving before lunch at Valle Nevado, and can hit the slopes immediately. We'll spend the day mostly on the groomed to acclimatize, get oriented, check gear, etc.
|
Day 2
Though there is a chance of fresh snow in the spring, we'll spend the day timing a series of short hikes to coincide with different orientations, in order to ski some good spring corn or wind pack. We also assess possible hikes for the next day and discuss touring technique and gear. This is our opportunity to learn skills, or adapt or change to new gear
.
|
Day 3
Today we make a full day alpine touring hike to the chutes and bowls behind the resort. Not only will the skiing be extraordinary, we're taking it to another level, seeing what we are capable of. Our orientation is complete, we've acclimatized and we're more physically ready for the days to come
.
|
Day 4
Today we head to our southern base of operations. This is an opportunity to a quire any needed gear while passing through the capitol. It's also a chance for an interlude between days of physically demanding skiing. En route we'll tour a vineyard, and dine at the best restaurants. You can also do some shopping.
|
Day 5, 6 & 7
These next three days we spend earning our turns on some fantastic ridges, peaks, volcanoes, valleys, gullies and chutes. Early each morning we'll assess the weather and choose terrain after thorough risk assessment of routes, exposure, avalanche danger, hiking time, group disposition and snow conditions. We'll employ 4x4 vehicles, horses and skins to access and pioneer the best possible descents. It is truly a special feeling to ski where you are certain no other skier has been before
.
|
Day 8
To top off an already great week, we'll raft our way out of the Andes with an established outfitter. After making the most of the morning this way, and a farewell Chilean barbeque, we'll head back to Santiago to meet your departing flight or leave you at your hotel in the capitol
