El Colorado Ski Resort Day Trip + Ski or Snowboard Lesson
Description
Imagine yourself descending the slopes at one of the premier ski resorts in South America. This day excursion to El Colorado offers an opportunity for a ski or snowboard lesson.
Details of the Activity
Are you in Santiago and seeking a winter experience? We’ll gather at the designated starting point, and after a brief journey, we will reach a ski attire rental location. There, you will get outfitted with all the essential equipment such as gloves, pants, jackets, and ski goggles for this excursion to El Colorado. Ready for the adventure? Let's proceed!
Following a 30-minute drive, you’ll be greeted with a pisco sour and stunning views at the El Colorado ski resort, situated at over 2,500 meters (8,202 feet) above sea level. Enveloped by snow-laden mountains, pine trees, and the crisp air of the Andes, this is the quintessential winter backdrop.
Upon arrival, you’ll decide between skiing or snowboarding, and we will provide the necessary equipment. Once you’re set, you'll enjoy 6 hours of leisure time to experience one of South America’s leading ski destinations. Included in this experience is a 2-hour lesson, led by a skilled instructor who will cover the fundamentals, ensuring you gain confidence on the slopes.
The resort boasts 50 kilometers (31 miles) of terrain distributed over 112 various runs, catering to beginners as well as advanced skiers and snowboarders. There are 18 ski lifts available, consisting of 2 double chairlifts, 3 triple chairlifts, and 12 surface lifts. You will also find 3 restaurants and a pub onsite for refreshments and meals at your convenience.
As the day concludes, we will reconvene to return the equipment and begin our trip back to the meeting point in Santiago, where we will part ways after roughly 12 hours together.
