This resort caters to advanced skiers and snowboarders seeking exhilarating descents and off-piste adventures. Its high-altitude setting provides stunning views of the surrounding mountains.

Terrain

Snow quality

The snowpack is influenced by its high-altitude location in the Andes, often resulting in a mix of powder and more consolidated snow conditions.
