Overview
For those who wish to experience
the immensity of the Andes and it's highest peaks,
covered with exceptional powder, this heliski/board
week has been specially organized for you. The
Andes Mountains are the second highest peaks in
the world and our camp base is located precisely
on the highest spot of this range of mountains.
Thanks to the continental climate and the height
of these summits, the Andes offer snow of incredible
quality (powder, very fine) and the best end-of-season
conditions you'll find on this planet! Remember!
You’ll be skiing in the highlands, surrounded
by a wild environment, so don’t forget to
stay open and receive everything Mother Nature
(Pachamama) wishes to offer us.
You'll be accompanied by our
highly experienced guides, who, most important
of all, have been working for over 10 years in
heliski/boarding industry. They sure know how
to find the best snow conditions at all times!!!
Without a doubt, they are the best guides you'll
find throughout the Andes! In order to guarantee
smooth flights and landings, our guides rely on
the ¨Eurocopters B3¨, known to be the
best helicopters for heliskiing/boarding. Plus,
our pilots and guides know the area, it’s
summits and the weather conditions like the palm
of their hand. However, we must remind you that
skiing and snowboarding in highland areas requires
a certain level of experience, therefore this
heliski/board week is reserved only for people
with intermediate - advanced skiing/snowboarding
skills

Terrain
Lo Valdés is considered
the only ¨alpine¨ region in South America,
located in the middle of spectacular snow covered
area. We have found the best place you could imagine
in the Chilean Cordillera. It exhales pure freedom
and by plane, it lies only 5 minutes away from
the chalet. It is clearly a magnificent spot,
right in the middle of the Cordillera, where you'll
find the most absolute tranquility, not to mention
endless avenues of completely untracked powder.
Lo Valdés and its surroundings
offer you the best freeride runs in Chile. Thanks
to its geographical location (in the highest Chilean
peaks) and its weather conditions, this place
is all you could ever dream of!
At the end of long day of freeride runs, nothing
feels better than soaking your body in the most
delicious hot springs, located right in the middle
of this magical landscape. Ideal for charging
your batteries for the next day of intense freeride!
Most of the freeride runs take
place between a base located in a 2300 altitude
valley and the summits surrounding it, up to 4400
meters high. This means you’ll be able to
enjoy a vertical distance for skiing and riding
of 1500 to 2000 meters! This is one of the reasons
why these camp bases are meant for people in good
shape and with intermediate – advanced ski/snowboarding
skills.
The places you’ll visit
with our guides, will be chosen according to the
physical capacities of the group, it’s skiing/snowboarding
skills and the weather conditions at the time
