Best Chile Ski Tour - Patagonia Volcanoes
September 20 - October 3, 2010
 
Chilean Volcano
 
 
This year, Santiago Adventures takes you on a different volcano route where you will experience the majestic scenery and beauty of southern Chile. In its “Volcanic Ski Trip”, We have put together an original, off-the-beaten-path, away from the crowd, in search of the best spring snow program. Slackcountry and Ski Touring will allow you to discover some of the finest ski jewels in southern Chile during this unforgettable adventure. The complete program is fifteen days but, as we are aware not everybody can dedicate that much time so we have created a program that allows you to adjust the length of the trip to your schedule.

Join us on our Chilean Patagonia Volcanoes adventure through Chile’s Ring of Fire, skiing and snowboarding snow- covered volcanoes while challenging yourself in one of the more remote areas of the Andes.

Participants must be in good to excellent physical condition, and be advanced to expert level skiers / snowboarders.
