Four Reasons Catski in Chile is the Ultimate Backcountry Adventure
01“One of the best ski trips on the planet”
Ski Magazine rated Chile’s sole catski operator, Ski Arpa, as providing one of the best ski trips out there. A day with this incredible crew will show you why. Ski Arpa Cat Skiing has a global reputation as one of the premier cat ski providers on the globe. The team is located in Valle El Arpa where the world’s second highest peak calls home, Mt. Aconcagua. A day with Ski Arpa won’t only give you a comfortable 4x4 transfer vehicle, avalanche safety kit, and a boxed lunch. You’ll get four runs on incredible Chilean terrain, with backcountry specialists guiding you into the most suitable regions for your day’s conditions. After a day with Ski Arpa, we’re sure you’ll agree with Ski Magazine’s review.
02The powder is all yours
With only one catski operator in Chile, your skis or board ripping through untracked powder is a safe bet. Ski Arpa’s ability to take the catski game in Chile for their own means they have exclusive access to multiple backcountry regions. You’ll be delivered door-to-door into incredible Mt. Aconcagua and all the virgin tracks that go with it. With the region producing some of the most consistent downpours of snow in South America, the choice of lines over pristine powder are endless - and all yours.
03Perfect day trip
Because Ski Arpa is situated in Valle El Arpa, only about 100 kilometers from Santiago, it’s a great choice for a day trip. The return journey is short and easily allows for a night out in Santiago to celebrate backcountry domination or even for an international flight home. Along with safety gear, vehicle transfer and lunch, you’ll get four runs on your one day with Ski Arpa. These runs are nothing like what you’re used to on the slopes but are jammed with steep verticals, huge drops, wide open spaces, and champagne powder. A trip to Chilean backcountry with Ski Arpa is a perfect way to spend your day.
04Choose your accommodation
You have three unreal accommodation options with two full days of cat skiing with Ski Arpa. The recently renovated and 4-star landmark resort at Termas de Jahuel is a great first choice. Nestled at the base of the Andes and about an hour drive from Ski Arpa, the resort has all the goodies for its guests, including indoor and outdoor thermal pools, massage, baths, and even trails and a scented forest wrapped around the resort perimeter. Casa San Regis is the authentic’s choice, with a more traditional Chilean feel in a stunning 18th-century hacienda. And finally, the Inca Hotel on the international highway in Los Andes gives you the easiest access to Ski Arpa. Its two restaurants whip up fresh, internationally-inspired cuisine and 47 cosy rooms are furnished in a simple yet elegant style.
