Day 1 — Arrival, equipment check and departure from Santiago

Pickup from Santiago Airport (SCL) or a city hotel. We complete the safety briefing, inspect touring and avalanche equipment, buy groceries and drive toward the first zone selected by the forecast.

Days 2 to 4 — First snow zone

Three guided ski days in the best-performing sector, potentially Portillo, the Santiago resorts or another Central Andes destination. Activities may combine resort freeride, lift-accessed terrain and ski touring.

Day 5 — Recovery, resupply and relocation

A flexible rest or short-activity day used to move the campervan, resupply and position the group for the strongest conditions of the second half of the trip.

Days 6 to 7 — Touring and mechanized access

Two guided ski days, normally including one full ski touring objective and one mechanized-access day using snowmobiles or a snowcat when conditions and availability allow.

Day 8 — Return to Santiago

Pack the campervan and return to Santiago for an airport or hotel drop-off. Departure flights should be scheduled for the afternoon or evening, subject to the final route.

4 guests: from USD 3,390 per person
3 guests: from USD 4,090 per person

Rates are per person and based on one shared campervan. The published “from” rate is based on 4 guests. Final pricing depends on the vehicle, route and type of mechanized access used.

Accommodation is shared inside a winter-equipped 4×4 campervan. The format is intentionally simple and mobile, with limited space but maximum flexibility to move between valleys and mountain zones.

Vehicle model, interior layout and sleeping configuration may vary and will be confirmed before booking. Overnight locations are selected according to safety, access, weather and local regulations. Guests must be comfortable sharing compact living space and helping with simple campervan routines.

Some of the locations we visit are over 3,500 meters (11,500 ft.) above sea level.

This is not a fixed-destination itinerary. Resorts, valleys and the order of activities may change according to snow stability, weather, road access, operator availability and group performance.

Mechanized access is subject to operating conditions and third-party availability. When it cannot operate, the guide will replace it with the most appropriate ski touring or lift-assisted objective available. Guests must have previous touring experience and be able to ski variable off-piste snow confidently.
