Skiing at La Parva Chile in the Andes is definitely inimitable and worthy of bragging rights. The resort of La Parva is one of the Tres Valles (Three Valleys) ski areas, along with El Colorado and Valle Nevado. Relative to these resorts, La Parva ski resort gets few international visitors and it’s more like an exclusive private ski club for Santiago’s wealthy families.

Snow day up in tne mountains
Had a great day at the slopes Everything was flawless, we stopped to get ski/snowboard gear for those who wanted also to grab coffee and a bite then went straight up to the mountains. Matias our driver and tour guide was exceptional! What a great guy! Just a heads up if you get motion sickness better take some meds cuz you’re gonna go thru 40 sharp curves to reach Farellones and 60 sharp curves to reach Valle Nevado. Aside from that the whole trip was excellent and everything went smoothly and extremely well.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great day in the mountains and that everything went smoothly. It’s wonderful to know that Matias made your experience even better with his exceptional service. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to see you again for another snow adventure in Chile! MTO TOUR TEAM.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small Group Tour to Valle Nevado and Farellones from Santiago: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Small Group Tour to Valle Nevado and Farellones from Santiago cost?
+
Prices start at $34 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 Small Group Tour to 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 Small Group Tour to Valle Nevado and Farellones from Santiago worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 369 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 Small Group Tour to 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 Small Group Tour to 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 Small Group Tour to Valle Nevado and Farellones from Santiago?
+
Around 129 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 Small Group Tour to 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.
