Farellones
An Andean ski village about an hour from the city, with beginner-friendly slopes and snow play areas; the top choice for a winter day trip.
Farellones sits at about 2,300 meters and is one of Chile's earliest ski areas. It connects with El Colorado, La Parva, and Valle Nevado to form a three-valley ski area. The village has a snow park for beginners and families (snow tubing and a ski school), and you can also enjoy the snow and mountain views without skiing. The mountain road has more than 40 hairpin bends (Curva 1 to 40). During snow season, you need snow chains or a ski bus (departing from the pickup point in Las Condes). In summer, you can hike and mountain bike. Note: UV radiation is strong at high altitude, and weekend traffic on the mountain road is heavy in snow season, so leave early.
