Where you stay
During the first days, we settle straight into the mountains above 2,000 meters, where we spend four nights in a simple, authentic guesthouse. From here, all three ski areas of the Tres Valles region are easily and quickly accessible.
From here, we continue south toward Nevados de Chillán, with a stop along the way for one night in Santa Cruz. We stay at a hotel located on the grounds of a family-run winery, where vineyard views and, of course, excellent local wines set the mood for the evening.
In Nevados de Chillán, we spend four nights in a classic mountain lodge, just a few minutes from the ski resort and the geothermal hot springs. After that, we head toward the coast and spend one night in cozy cabins at a uniquely atmospheric seaside accommodation.
During our two-night detour to Argentina, we stay in a four-star hotel in the city center, then conclude the trip in Santiago with a farewell evening at a stylish design hotel.
