Learn to ski or snowboard at the beautiful La Parva ski resort, located approximately an hour east of Santiago. This day trip is perfect for beginners or those looking to try out skiing or snowboarding for the first time. After pickup from your Santiago hotel, head first to the Valle Nevado and Farellones ski resorts.

Valle Nevado is home to some of Santiago's most challenging runs. Explore this beautiful resort with your expert guide and watch experienced skiers and snowboarders in action! Then, venture 7 miles (12 km) to Farellones, which was Chile's first ski resort. Take in gorgeous views of both Farellones and El Colorado from the base of the mountain. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in El Colorado (own expense) before suiting up in your ski or snowboard gear and heading to La Parva.

When you arrive in La Parva, get ready to begin your 1- or 2-hour ski or snowboard lesson, depending on your group size! Learn the basics from your experienced instructor and practice perfecting them on easy runs. Spend time trying out your new skills on the slopes and then head back to your Santiago hotel in the evening.
