Ski Tour Options

Choosing the Correct Ski Tour or Package

We want you to have the best time possible on your Andean ski or snowboard adventure, so please take time to select the most suitable type of tour or package to suit your ski level.

 

Resort Ski Packages / Holidays / Vacations

Suitable for: All levels of skier and snowboarder from intermediate to expert.

Our ski packages have been tried and tested over the past 9 years. There are a number of accomodations we do not offer for good reason. Booking with us you can be sure to get the best of what is available for skiing in South America. We only offer ski packages in accommodation which we know to be run well, in suitable locations and of a satisfactory level for your ski holiday. It can be possible to find cheap accommodation but often this requires additional transport to get you to the mountain and most certainly will not have the same inclusions, to make it appear a cheaper option.

Special equipment not required.
