Spend 8-hours away from the hustle and bustle of the city and head to the Andes Mountains. Visit the Farellones ski center and spend your day tubing and enjoying other offered activities or continue to the Valle Nevado ski center with an opportunity to spend the day skiing if you have prior experience. Appreciate convenient hotel pickup and drop-off and the personal service offered of a small-group tour.

The place is incredible, perhaps one of the most beautiful I have ever seen in my life. The guide Álvaro and the driver Ricardo were very very friendly and made the experience even better. Super recommended!!

This could be an amazing trip but as I found out, it is very weather dependant. When we left Santiago around 0800 there was a steady rain coming down and overcast. About 45 minutes into the trip we stopped at a gear rental place where you can rent things like, snow pants, winter coats, boots and ski equipment, etc. As we started up the mountain the rain quickly changed to snow which was beginning to stick to the road so our driver wisely stopped and put snow chains on our van, a very wise decision. The drive up to Valle Nevado is a 2500m ascent to the resort at 3000m. This is a very slow zigzag trip up the mountain with approximately 60 switchbacks taking around 1 hour. Once safely at the top our group had around an hour to walk around the resort, take photos and use the washrooms.
This would have been a fantastic place to spend a few hours relax and get some magical photos but due to the weather we were in a whiteout with nothing to see except snow and no where to relax as the ski resort has not opened for the season.
In my opinion I would not recommend this tour at this time of year. It’s a very treaterous drive in bad weather, there is nothing to see as the views are completely obscured, nothing is open in the resort and due to the weather getting worse our day trip was almost cut in half.
All that said, our guide Alvaro and our amazing driver Recardo were both friendly, helpful and most important attentive to our safety. They were excellent!!!👍

This tour is great for outdoor and wine lovers. We enjoyed seeing the Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the southern and western Hemisphere, tasting Chilian wine and the breathtaking views of Inca lagoon.

To spend the day in the mountains, the guide was a spectacle apart. I brime all the time, I advise, I stop to take photos and rent equipment. Excellent, don't miss a magical day in the snow.

Gabriel is a superb tour guide.
He is punctual, ready to adapt quickly to his guests' needs, full of the information you want, and most of all, is witty and warm. A wry entertainer, he makes a long day great fun.
And these really are small group tours, so Gabriel's service is personal.
His van is clean and in great condition for a smooth drive - a very valuable thing on the winding roads up to the spectacular Andes.
In all, I am very happy to recommend Gabriel.

Booked this when I was visiting Santiago with my daughter. Gabriel our guide was great. He picked us up right on time, took us to a local ski shop to renting our ski equipment, and then helped us getting out lift ticket. Snow pack was a little low this year, but still was good skiing. At the end of the day, our guide was right there to pick us up. Overall could not have asked for better service from this tour.

Loved the tour up in the Andes. Visiting the ski villages was very interesting and the view into the valley to see Santiago was fantastic. We saw condors in flight, obviously close to snow. Even though everything is closed one restaurant open it was good to visit. Great scenery.
