SKI PORTILLO

The Portillo Ski Area in Chile is the most famous and oldest center in South America, renown for its extraordinary beauty and its world-class skiing and snowboarding. In a world quickly going generic, Portillo proudly remains unique, private and grand. There are no towns, shopping areas, high-priced tickets or major ego to be found here, just casual elegance and a warm social atmosphere that encourages every visitor to feel like part of the family.
Golden History:
The celebrated skier Jean-Claude Killy won his first gold medals here, in 1966. Speed skiers in Portillo's Kilometro Lanzado competitions were the first to exceed 200kph. Four former gold medallists have led Portillo's Ski School in the past, and it hosts National Ski Teams every year (last year the Austrian and U.S. Olympic teams trained here).
There is a huge range of different level slopes available. An excellent place to learn how to ski or snowboard turning confident in no time and for skiers and boarders who already feel comfortable and are looking for a challenge.
Location
Portillo Ski Resort is located 9,350 feet (2,850 meters) above sea level, on the International Highway between Santiago, Chile, and Mendoza, Argentina - just a 2-hour drive from Santiago. The highest mountain in the western hemisphere, Aconcagua, is just over the ridge. The hotel and ski area wrap around beautiful Inca Lake in a spectacular setting that is naturally therapeutic for any vacationer.
