Total score

El Colorado | Farellones, a world-class ski resort located within a two-hour drive from Santiago, offers an exceptional skiing experience for both beginners and advanced skiers. From its uncrowded lifts to its magnificent views from the top, the resort is an ideal destination for skiing enthusiasts looking for a memorable day out on the slopes. Visitors can also enjoy rest areas with food and drink options, enabling them to take a break and admire the stunning snow-covered mountains. The resort's slopes, compared to the Greens in Whistler, Canada, offer a unique level of challenge for those familiar with other international ski destinations. However, some skiers have noted that the resort's paths can inadvertently lead to the next resort without clear signage, making it difficult to return without taking a bus.

Despite minor inconveniences, the resort's location, coupled with its smooth, wide trails and friendly, helpful staff, make it a fantastic place to learn and enjoy skiing. On the downside, some visitors have experienced challenges with the resort's organization, especially with respect to ski school instruction and equipment rental. Despite these issues, the overwhelming view of the Andes and the exhilarating fun on the slopes make the trip worthwhile. El Colorado | Farellones is not just a ski resort; it's an adventure nestled in the heart of Chile. Whether you're a seasoned skier or a novice looking for lessons, this resort offers something for everyone.

Las Leñas in Argentina - a crowd of people sitting at tables in the snow.

Total score

Valle de las Leñas, Malargüe, MZ, Argentina

Las Leñas is a renowned ski resort nestled in the stunning peaks of the Argentine Andes. Achieving fame for its après-ski atmosphere and challenging runs, the resort is lauded as the best off-piste terrain in Argentina. It also boasts the distinction of being the only true ski-in/ski-out resort in the region, offering an unrivaled experience of convenience and accessibility. Throughout the season, the resort offers superb snow conditions and a variety of great tracks. Off-tracks are easily accessible and provide an exciting alternative for adventurous skiers. The resort's location also affords breathtaking views, further enhancing the overall skiing experience. However, there have been mentions of the snow quality deteriorating by mid-August and the lifts being slower compared to other resorts. While the resort may be small by European standards, and the lifts deemed old and slow, the piste skiing is generally well-regarded, especially when the Marte lift is operational. The resort is primarily designed for skiing and snowboarding, with limited recreational options available off the slopes, making it less suitable for families with children. Despite some negative reviews regarding outdated facilities and poor customer service, many visitors appreciate the resort's picturesque setting and the variety of skiing routes catered to different skill levels. The drive to Las Leñas is also described as a beautiful journey, adding to the overall appeal of the resort. However, potential visitors should be aware of the limited dining options in and around the resort, and note that the resort's attractiveness is somewhat diminished for non-skiers due to a lack of alternative activities. Despite these limitations, Las Leñas remains a popular destination for skiing enthusiasts seeking an authentic and challenging Andean skiing experience.
