El Colorado
This ski center, located 36 kilometers away from Santiago, was created by the vision of Los Pioneros, a group that sought to establish a ski center in the central area, with a location close to Santiago.
Thus, in 1935 the first shelter of snow was built in Farellones and in 1948 the first ski lift, the Gran Bajada. In 1941, Farellones began to function as a mountain town, providing all necessary services to its visitors. In 1953, the double chair lifeline was inaugurated, enabling the western ski area.
The minimum height of this ski center is 2560 meters above sea level, on the track Los Zorros, and reaches an altitude that exceeds 3300 meters above sea level. It has a difference of 1090 meters.
Currently, it has 112 slopes and a ski area of 1100 hectares, reason why it is considered one of the best ski centers of South America.
The winter center (2,430 to 3,333 meters high) is composed of two interconnected villages, each with hotels and shelters. Together with La Parva and Valle Nevado, they form the largest and best ski area in South America.
Discover the immensity of the mountains that surround the largest ski area in the southern hemisphere. Here, the large number of lifts will allow you to access each corner of the Andes and enjoy perfect snow tracks that are only given by the orientation and height of the largest and most modern station in Chile.
