Travel is relatively easy with an overnight flight to Santiago, Chile, followed by a short hopper flight to the city of Osorno in the heart of the Lake District, where we will be there to start your adventure with you.

Your trip starts from the comfortable cabanas at Aguas Calientes near the town of Puyehue. Come relax in your own hot spring tub situated on your private deck as you prepare for your amazing journey. We begin touring the Volcano Casablanca at 1990m, this is a perfect volcano ski to start the trip off and a great way to get the legs moving again. After spending the day shredding a few laps, its time to head back to Agua Calientes for a soak, followed by and incredible Chilean meal. The next day our horse assisted adventure begins!

A huge highlight is the horse assisted ski tour on Volcan Puyehue! This incredible tour, starting deep in the lush jungle of Chile’s Lake District is a must do trip for the adventurous skier or snowboarder. We ascend Puyehue which sits in the Parques Nacional Puyehue. This Volcano is a hidden gem filled with incredible Alaska style faces, spine lines and an unbelievable crater you can ski into. What…… Yep thats right! With the right conditions we shred unreal steep lines into the crater only to keep the tour going inside. Up and down on a constant repeat, we climb and shred these amazing lines. Think its done, think again!! After climbing up and out of the crater rim we are greeted with the beauty of Puyehue’s North Face and the prime buttery turns it offers. Another ski down into the lava fields has us transitioning and touring back up and around to the Puyehue’s main face and 3000′ of fall line shredding right back to the El Caulle Hut for an evening of great food and stories. The next few nights are spent at the hut or in the comforts of our cabanas as we tour deeper into the Parque Nacional Puyehue and the endless opportunities this a place offers. We also have the option of heading South to Ski Volcan Osorno a crown jewel of Northern Patagonia. The trip culminates back at Termas Agua Calientes for the last evening of soaking and sampling the fine cuisine, with transportation back to the Osorno airport the following day.
