Valle Nevado is one of the most popular resorts in Chile. It is also part of the biggest ski area in the southern hemisphere. Developed on the slopes of El Plomo, at an altitude of 10,000 feet, this aptly named “snow valley” offers over 3,000 acres of powder snow skiing terrain with almost every imaginable type of run, suitable for either skiing or snow boarding in 23 miles of powdery slopes.

From within the resort there is trail access into El Colorado and La Parva centers, giving you a total of 113 trails and 43 lifts.
