Portillo

Portillo is Chile's most classic ski resort, located near the border with Argentina, at an altitude of 2,880–3,1017.1 feet. The resort has a small lift system with 14 lifts and about 30 slopes, but attracts above all for its iconic mountainsides and the intense atmosphere around Hotel Portillo.

For beginners, there are some easier slopes near the hotel, but the resort is mainly aimed at the intermediate skier and the advanced skier. The steep slopes, off-piste and the famous loops down to the turquoise blue lagoon Inca Lake are the main attraction. Portillo is also a favorite for international alpine national teams who train here because of the altitude and snow security.

All accommodation, restaurants and nightlife are gathered in the large yellow hotel, which provides a social and concentrated atmosphere. Here, the experience is as much about community as it is about skiing.
