Terrain

Located an hour away from the highway to the capital of Chile, El Colorado and La Parva stations, are simply the most developed ones of the country.  Very close from each other (a five minute trip), they offer you all types of ground.
Because its geographical location and their altitude these 2 stations benefit from great weather conditions both sun and snow. From El Colorado you will have the opportunity to see the impressive sunsets or at night the entire city of Santiago glow.
El Colorado is well adapted for amateurs on its lower end yet it also offers wide race tracks for those carving fans.  This is why numerous ski teams come train in the surroundings, besides they have access to the best by far snowpark from Chile and from South America, where theY will try out their first jump tricks or maybe develop their figure skating techniques.

La Parva is far more adapted for those who enjoy radical steeps and straying away form the tracks, it has a variety of activities which makes it a far more interesting adventure depending on the taste, but harder to ski, yet there is space for amateurs on the lower end of the station. There are also extreme freeriders that are only a few minutes away on foot.  There are places of dusty snow very nearby that allows some alone space from the crowd, giving the opportunity to reach the skilifts for the next ride down.  Gladly your guide will take you to the most extreme places and will be aware of your safety ness.
