This
Alpine wonderland will set your spirit free. A place unlike
any other in the world Valle el Arpa is sweet music to the skier's
soul. Unparalleled vertical, snow conditions and views of Mount
Aconcagua combined with the uniqueness of snowcat skiing, create
an adventure you will never forget. In
a typical day of skiing, at least four trips in the snowcat
will have you skiing 13,000 vertical feet of some of the best
untracked powder in the world. This tour requires an intermediate
level of skiing or better.

Valle
El Arpa is located in the Chilean Andes only 60 miles from Santiago,
making it a great day tour. Be prepared for an adventure-filled
journey as your tour will involve four-wheel drive vehicles, snowcats
and unbelievable skiing or boarding. At over 4000 acres, an area
equal in size to Valle Nevado, you and your ski partners will
be the only ones on the slopes. |
