A grey-blue bus curves up the Andean flanks and the city shrinks behind you: in an hour the air is thinner, the horizon serrated with ridges dusted in snow. Farellones unfolds as a compact alpine village—steep roofs, chairlifts clacking, children squealing on tubes—an approachable introduction to Chilean winter sports just outside Santiago.

A grey-blue bus curves up the Andean flanks and the city shrinks behind you: in an hour the air is thinner, the horizon serrated with ridges dusted in snow. Farellones unfolds as a compact alpine village—steep roofs, chairlifts clacking, children squealing on tubes—an approachable introduction to Chilean winter sports just outside Santiago.
The Andes here are young mountains—uplifted granite and volcanic deposits carved by glaciers—so slopes are steep, views abrupt, and weather can swing fast. Farellones grew from a miners’ and mule-trail outpost into a family-oriented ski hub in the 20th century; today it pairs lift-served runs with a small snow amusement park offering tubing, sleighs, a panoramic chair and canopy lines.
Expect a full-day rhythm: early meet-up in Las Condes, a 60–90 minute transfer, gear handoff, bilingual instruction for beginners and open slopes for intermediates, plus park attractions. Lessons focus on stance, stopping and basic turns; instructors adapt to ages 7+. Clothing and basic ski equipment are supplied in the package, but the sun and altitude demand attention—glacial glare and thinner air can sap energy quickly.
Practical edge: hydrate the night before, layer wool next to skin, and schedule the day to avoid late-afternoon storms. Whether you’re learning first turns or chasing blue runs, Farellones is a compact, social mountain that makes the Andes accessible—fast, practical and playfully snowy.
Lessons and most activities are available from age 7; children under 7 receive transfer-only in this program.
Basic snow clothing and ski equipment are included in the package; confirm sizes in advance and bring your own gloves/goggles if you prefer.
Confirm exact pick-up time on your voucher.
