"Valle Nevado is the Southern Hemisphere's largest ski resort, making it an attractive option for North American tourists looking for a "summer" ski destination. Partnerships with megapasses such as Ikon Pass and Mountain Collective have also put it on passholders' radar since they can get free or discounted lift tickets and lodging to help tamp down the cost of a Southern Hemisphere ski vacation. Valle Nevado's proximity to Chile's capital, Santiago, simplifies travel with direct flights from the US and Canada"
"Another benefit for first-timers skiing in Chile is that skiing at Valle Nevado offers an experience closer to a North American Ski Trip than most other Chilean resorts. While the 2,400 acres of Valle Nevado alone won't wow Whistler Blackcomb (8,000 plus acres) or Vail (5,000 plus acres) regulars, it won't feel cramped or as mom-and-pop as some smaller Chilean ski areas. While surface lifts dominate, there's a gondola and high-speed quad-uncommon at most Chilean ski resorts."
Valle Nevado is the Southern Hemisphere's largest ski resort, offering 2,400 skiable acres and modern lift infrastructure including a gondola and a high-speed quad. Partnerships with megapasses such as Ikon Pass and Mountain Collective provide free or discounted lift tickets and lodging for passholders. The resort sits about an hour and a half drive from Santiago, with direct flights available from the US and Canada. A recent U.S. purchase of Valle Nevado and adjacent La Parva enables a combined inbounds area exceeding 4,000 acres plus roughly 200,000 acres of backcountry and sidecountry terrain. Daily heli-skiing departs from the base area.
