Chile DreamTrips Summer 2025
Pisco & Powder in the summer in Chile!
If you consider yourself a passionate skier, then you really need to ski the Southern Hemisphere at least once in your life. We have the three resorts of La Parva, El Colorado & Valle Nevado wired and all you have to do is show up. We start off from Santiago with two quad cab pickup trucks, with a quick pit-stop at Jumbo Super Mercado, we load up on supplies of Carménère wine, Chilean beers and water for the altitude. It's roughly a 2 hour drive up to La Parva and our home base for the week.
We have a ski in ski out townhouse with incredible views, a wide-open living area that's fantastic for post ski relaxing and socializing. Our meals are provided by a team of local chef's, led by the one and only Kris Swanson. Kris provides all the meals for the World Cup Teams during their training sessions in the three valleys. Their meals were fantastic and allowed us maximum relaxation time. The famous La Marmita is steps away from our house for Après and the Chilean favorite - Pisco Sours. We have everything we need for a week of hard-core skiing and fun.
Our two crew cab pickups allow us to easily carry all our gear and more importantly, give us the ability to do "Road Laps" at El Colorado. The off-piste run takes skiers down 1800' vert of pure free-riding bliss to the road that leads to Valle Nevado. Those without two vehicles are left to the whims of hitchhiking.
Our final night is spent in Santiago at the 5 Star Ritz Carlton Hotel on the Club level with all food and drinks included. Located in a hip part of town you can end your trip with much needed spas, rooftop hot tubs and swimming pools while enjoying a great area of Santiago.
Space is limited to 7 guests with each truck holding 4 people. It's a perfect trip for a group of like-minded friends. Reach out to us now and secure one of the two weeks now.
