This Alpine wonderland will set your spirit free. A place unlike any other in the world Valle el Arpa is sweet music to the skier's soul. Unparalleled vertical, snow conditions and views of Mount Aconcagua combined with the uniqueness of snowcat skiing, create an adventure you will never forget. In a typical day of skiing, at least four trips in the snowcat will have you skiing 13,000 vertical feet of some of the best untracked powder in the world. This tour requires an intermediate level of skiing or better.

Valle El Arpa is located in the Chilean Andes only 60 miles from Santiago, making it a great day tour. Be prepared for an adventure-filled journey as your tour will involve four-wheel drive vehicles, snowcats and unbelievable skiing or boarding. At over 4000 acres, an area equal in size to Valle Nevado, you and your ski partners will be the only ones on the slopes.

Ski Arpa was challenging and had the edge we were looking for. I will definitely recommend it to all of my friends.
