Southern Chile Backcountry Tour

This tour takes in Southern Chile's best lift-assisted backcountry skiing and snowboarding at Nevados de Chillan and Corralco ski resorts. What you can see from the lifts barely skims the surface of accessible terrain and there are many options for backcountry touring. Home to some of the country’s most stunning landscapes, the region is replete with lush green pastures, dense forest, and majestic snowcapped volcanoes, some of which remain active.

This Chile backcountry adventure with Powderquest will introduce you to two of the region’s most beautiful volcanoes: Lonquimay (Corralco Ski Resort) and Chillan (Nevados de Chillan Ski Resort formerly known as Termas de Chillan).

The trip is designed for advanced skiers and snowboarders seeking backcountry touring terrain, with guides who really know where to find the goods. Off the slopes, warm southern Chilean hospitality, muscle relaxing hot springs, delicious food and outstanding wine offer the perfect way to unwind after daily adventures.

Lodging

Corralco

Ski-in / tour-out hotel located at the resort’s base and nestled in an ancient monkey puzzle forest with panoramic views of the Lonquimay Volcano. The hotel is modern and stylish, with a spacious lounge warmed by large fireplaces. Plenty amenities for off-slope relaxation including a gym, spa with indoor heated pool and outdoor hot tub offering breathtaking views of the volcano.

Nevados de Chillan

Alto Nevados was built sustainably using recycled wood and using naturally sourced geothermal water to heat. The hotel is ideally located at the base of a lift. The hotel features an attractive wood-and-stone décor, but what makes it really special is the “hot springs” outdoor pool with natural mineralized water. Rooms all have a private bathroom, and there is a small gym and spa.
