Valle Nevado Heli Ski

Heli SkiingMany skiers are aware of Valle Nevado as a ski resort destination, especially since its recent addition to the Ikon Pass. However, this coveted resort is one of the premier heliskiing operators in the Southern Hemisphere and is a must-travel location for its massive terrain, safety-conscious operations, and versatile pricing structure. 

If you’re planning a trip to Patagonia and happen to find yourself at Valle Nevado Heli Ski, purchasing one of their half or full-day trips is highly recommended. The quality of snowfall, ample elevation, and unparalleled terrain can create a South American trip unlike any other.

Facts & FAQ about Valle Nevado

Traveling to Valle Nevado

Valle Nevado Heli Skiing’s location is about as good as it gets. Situated only 44 miles east of Santiago Chile’s international airport, a short 90-minute drive will have you at the base village of the resort. This airport is serviced by multiple airlines from all over the world, so it’s highly unlike you’ll have a problem booking your flight. 

Once you’ve touched down in Santiago, be sure to book a vehicle transfer. Once you’ve arrived at the resort, having your own vehicle is completely unnecessary as the entire village is walkable and contains all the services you need during your stay.

Accommodations and Amenities

Valle Nevado is not a multi-day heliskiing operator, therefore all-inclusive lodging isn’t provided like with other companies. However, your choices are quite simple while staying here. The 51-guest room Hotel Valle Nevado is the most popular option and comes with a variety of respectable amenities, including:

  • Half-Board: Breakfast and dinner are included in your stay at the hotel, however, beverages and tips are not.
  • Ski Pass: You’ll receive a complimentary ski pass to the resort, valid until the day you check out.
  • Day Care: Perfect for keeping your little ones occupied as you heli ski, this convenient option means you can take the whole family with your on your Chilean vacation.

In addition to the hotel, condominium options are available. The village at Valle Nevado has 11 different buildings that are available for short-term rentals. These do not include the complimentary lift ticket or half-board, however.

Terrain and Difficulty Levels

Valle Nevado is located in the heart of the Andes Mountains, and the base of the resort is higher than many North American ski areas at 10,000 feet. Throughout your day heliskiing, you’ll be brought up to 13,000+ feet, and many individual runs can be 5,000 feet or more. This contributes to ridiculously long runs that are tough to find anywhere else in the world. In addition to the sheer scale of the vertical descents, the terrain makes it feel even larger. Valle Nevado Heli Skiing takes place entirely above the tree line in the alpine. Long, steep glaciers dotted with challenging features are the highlight, although mellower terrain still exists. Your group will be tailored to your ability level, allowing any confident skier to enjoy the trip.
