Valle Nevado
The Valle Nevado ski resort has some of the highest quality snow in Chile, due to its location at 3,000 meters high. It has modern infrastructure and the best equipment to provide excellent service to its visitors, who want to enjoy white sports on the wonderful summits of the Chilean mountain. This ski resort was created with the inspiration of French ski resorts and modern buildings, hotels and equipment, such as the Andes Express lift, the most advanced in the southern hemisphere. Valle Nevado is also close to other ski resorts such as La Parva and El Colorado so that passengers can visit them and participate in mountain excursions in winter.

Farellones Private Trip
Highly recommended if you want to avoid the crows and enjoy the early snow. My pickup was early in the morning so we got there before the crows arrived.It was snowing so some rides were close but still enjoyable My guide was Charlie also highly recommended solo or small private group.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We look forward to seeing you again

Trip up to Valle Nevado
Luis is a phenomenon. He took us to Valle Nevado, a 7-hour trip in the middle of a snowstorm. Excellent service. And at a good price.

Fantastic tour with Luis
An incredible experience and thanks to our driver guide Luis who was really fantastic and great. I fully recommend this tour. We had such a wonderful time even though there was no snow at the time of booking because of the season, but Luis made sure we had a great time and was very attentive, professional, knowledgeable and gave us a great tour of the region. Thank you once again!

EXCELLENT tour and guide, we had a great time.
Luis is a GENIUS! It took us to Valle Nevado, we went to the ski slope to meet her but we didn’t go down there because we didn’t want to ski but play in the snow with the children. Then we went down the mountain a few km to an area that was snowy and there we went sledding, we stayed for an hour or so and then we went down a little more and stopped in another part of the mountain that was better for sledding, and we stayed a couple of hours more. He never rushed us or gave us a time limit. Then he took us to eat at Farellones (the park was closed already because there was no snow) to a very good place, with a spectacular view. Also before going up to Valle Nevado we stopped to rent clothes for snow. Everything spectacular, Luis made the ride 10 points! SUPER RECOMMENDED, do not hesitate to write to you for this or other tours (we went to the rancagua safari as well and the hill valley thermal baths)

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Excursion Valle Nevado and Farellones From Santiago: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Private Excursion Valle Nevado and Farellones From Santiago cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santiago usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Excursion Valle Nevado and Farellones From Santiago take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santiago is not rushed.
Is Private Excursion Valle Nevado and Farellones From Santiago worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santiago, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Excursion Valle Nevado and Farellones From Santiago?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Excursion Valle Nevado and Farellones From Santiago suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Excursion Valle Nevado and Farellones From Santiago?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santiago can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santiago and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Excursion Valle Nevado and Farellones From Santiago start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santiago within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santiago?
+
On Outty we rank every Santiago experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Maipo Valley Wine Region: 4 Wineries, Tastings & Foodie Tour, Valparaiso Port and Viña del Mar with Casablanca Wine Tasting, Tour to Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Pablo Neruda Museum and Vineyard. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santiago?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santiago?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
