Is This Trip For Me?
Designed for experienced intermediate and advanced skiers and snowboarders looking to get more out of the ski resort experience, exploring our guide`s favorite secret spots, beyond the groomed runs.

Snowboarders must be able to hold both heelside and toeside edges on longer traverses to move efficiently around the resort. 4 days of the trip we will be skiing high altitude resorts, 9000-12000 feet (2800-3600m) above sea level.

Comfortable ensuite rooms feature a classic wood-and-stone décor, while the real advantage is its location—staying here means you’re on the mountain, avoiding the daily drive from the valley and making the most of your time on the snow. After skiing, grab a pisco sour at the bar or relax in the outdoor hot spring pools filled with natural mineral-rich water.
