PORTILLO 
Portillo, South America's best-known ski resort, is set far above the timberline in desolate moonlike landscape of rock and snow. Portillo's 9,600+ feet altitude assure dry powder snow and a crisp climate. Portillo is world renown for superb ski conditions and the legendary beauty of the Laguna de Inca Lake surrounded by some of the highest mountains in the hemisphere.
Portillo has a wide variety of slopes from the simplest beginner’s area to awe inspiring powder chutes. Top skiers take on Portillo's ultimate thrill: climbing into the wilds above the hotel and on a 30-degree face, making the legendary nine-mile run from the statue of the Christ of the Andes. Lifts start right from the hotel, and because of the unique nature of the resort, there will never be more than 450 people on the slopes! Ski trails spread in all directions, with the highest of the nine lifts rising to 10,800 feet. Just put on your skis and go!
The Ski School is one of the finest in the world. The School director, Mike Rogan, and his team of highly accredited, multilingual professionals spend the northern hemisphere's winter teaching at the best ski schools in North America and Europe.

Portillo's remote mountain location is both it's charm and Achilles' heel. Though well maintained by the Chilean Ministry of Public Works, snow storms can and do cause the road to close. Portillo Ski Resort is not responsible for the condition of the road. All guests should be aware that the possibility exists for road closures to prevent access to or exit from the resort. There are financial obligations involved. Your vacation purchase is considered by Portillo to be consent to these obligations.
Guests who are unable to drive up to Portillo while the road is closed will be directly responsible for their accommodation and other expenses in Santiago or elsewhere. The nights that are not used at Portillo will be credited to their accounts. Guests will be able to choose whether to transfer the credit to their extra services account (ski lessons, bar bills, etc.) or use the credit toward a future reservation within the same season.
Guests who are unable to descend from Portillo and must spend the night in the resort will be charged the full rate for their first night's accommodation. However, beginning the second night, a 50% discount is applied to the normal rate.

LAS LENAS 
Las Leñas is unlike any ski village you have ever experienced. It lies high in the Andes and includes 650,000 acres of gigantic alpine ski terrain. It's architecture is non-traditional using lots of rock with few right angles and gives the impression its buildings are leaning back against the moon - like landscape.
Las Leñas spans two incredible ski domains. There is skiing for all abilities and styles; off-piste skiers will find uncrowded slopes offering enormous potential to enjoy untracked powder at a leisurely pace. Several nearby sights await you in the Los Molles Valley. The thermal waters of the Saldo River and the Pozo Delas Alnimas offers its breathtaking 3000 foot deep underground lagoon.
International skiers should not miss the experience of Las Leñas.
