DATES: AUGUST 4 - 11 / AUGUST 18 - 25 / SEPTEMBER 8 - 15
Day
1 – Arrival in Chile and transfer to Hacienda Casa
San Regis. Take a step back in time and surround yourself with
history in this 19th-century hacienda. This former manor home
of an expansive 40,000 acre estate, Casa San Regis is now a bed
& breakfast, with six rooms and capacity for up to 15 persons,
offering comfortable accommodations with an antique flair. Your
Chilean hosts, Marcela and Alexis, offer warm hospitality and
personalized service, often joining guests for dinner and giving
insight into local culture and history. The roaring fireplace
in the living room is an excellent place to sit and enjoy après
ski after a long day of skiing. |

Day
2 – Cat Skiing: Adventure skiing in the shadow
of Aconcagua. Fantastic views of the Aconcagua (the highest peak
outside the Himalayas) await us on top of Valle El Arpa. A warm-up
day at South America’s only snowcat resort. We’ll
have approximately 12,000 feet of vertical of guided skiing.
Day
3, 4, 5 – Heli Skiing in the amazing Central North
heli zone. This is all new terrain and opened up by Santiago Adventures
as an alternative to the more saturated zones surrounding Tres
Valles and Cajon del Maipo.
Day
6 – Cat Skiing Our final day of skiing, we return
to Valle El Arpa. We’re sure you’ll agree that this
is the best way to wrap up an amazing week of skiing and riding
in the Andes. Après ski at Refugio Avalancha is the spot
to share your skiing adventures with skiers from around the world.
Day
7 – Departure day. If you’ve been lucky enough
to have used your entire vertical we’ll spend the day relaxing
and visiting one of the internationally-recognized Chilean wineries
located in the valley. Transfer to the airport in the afternoon
for your flight home. |
