Ski Pucón
Centro de Ski Pucón
A ski area built on the slopes of an active volcano, with runs facing Lake Villarrica. In summer it is also the starting point for volcano summit climbs.
The Pucón ski center sits on the north flank of Villarrica Volcano, at about 1,200 to 2,000 m. It opens in winter, roughly July to September, and has several beginner and intermediate runs and chairlifts. Skiers look down on Lake Villarrica and Lake Caburgua. Skiing on a smoking active volcano is a unique experience. Facilities are fairly simple, and snow conditions depend heavily on the weather. Equipment can be rented in Pucón town. In summer the chairlift runs at certain times, and many volcano summit tours depart from here. It is about 20 km from Pucón.
