THE MOUNTAIN

The resort is set on the slopes of the Chillán volcano, providing a unique and ever-changing landscape with a vertical drop of over 1,000 meters. It features 35 kilometers of marked runs, including “Las Tres Marías,” which, at 13 kilometers, is the longest ski run in South America. The 28 trails are balanced for all skill levels: 30% beginner, 40% intermediate, and 30% expert. The volcanic terrain creates natural gullies and open bowls, offering excellent lift-accessible off-piste and backcountry access for advanced skiers and snowboarders.  Chillán also gets the most snow out of all the Andean resorts.

ACCOMMODATIONS & CUISINE

Nevados de Chillán offers a range of accommodation options, primarily slope-side hotels and lodges, some of which are ski-in/ski-out. On-site hotels like Hotel Nevados de Chillán provide amenities such as fitness centers, pools, and spas, often including breakfast and dinner plans. Regardless of which type of hotel you decide on, rest assured all have therapeutic hot springs to enjoy after a long day on the slopes.

Dining at the resort includes several restaurants serving international cuisine and local specialties such as lamb and salmon, accompanied by a selection of fine Chilean wines. Dinner is included at the hotels and makes for an easy evening commute 🙂

NIGHTLIFE

The on-site nightlife in the main resort area is generally relaxed, with hotel bars and lounges providing a cozy atmosphere for après-ski drinks. The local village of Las Trancas has a more “party vibe,” with a few unique bars and a discotheque that come alive later in the evening.
