Sierra Nevada Summit to Termas Cañon del Blanco

This incredible tour starts at 6:00 with breakfast burritos and coffee en route to the Sierra Nevada. Heading South we utilize the smooth ascent along the ridge as we skin through ancient stands of Araucaria and Coighue trees gaining elevation effortlessly as our object comes into sight. Continuing up the gradual ridge while enjoying spectacular views of the surrounding valleys and volcanos until we arrive at the crux. With crampons and stable footing we work our way up the last section to the summit where we are greeted by breathtaking views of the Sierra Nevada Glacier, Conguillio National Park, along with 10 more Volcanic summits. From here the descent to the hot tubs heated by the same volcano on which you stand can be seen. The exhilarating descent will keep your endorphins pumping top to bottom as you ski your way down to the Araucarias for a lunch stop just above the treeline. Descending into the trees as they change from Araucarias to Coíghue we reach our destination of “Los Baños del Toro” where a next level aprés experience awaits with frosty beverages, towels, and slippers. After soaking until completely relaxed, towel off and put on fresh socks for the short cruise back to the vehicle. To top off this experience in style we’ll stop by for an “Asado del Gaucho” with organic local lamb or goat and vegetarian delicacies roasted over a fire pit.

Backcountry Ski & Ride 1 of 12

We will pick you up at 7:00 and drive the Araucaria lined road towards the Lonquimay Volcano and Malalcahuello National Reserve where we will ascend to Cerro Cautin to access the paradise that lies to the east. Put the pedal down with a myriad of options including steep rocky zones with rollovers and airs from cliffs in “Freeride” and “The Strainers.” If cruising is more your taste we will stride to the North and enjoy “Pyramid of Cautin” with a long exhilarating decent to the middle of the valley or “The South Easterlies to Forests of Gnarnia” where at the National Reserves limit the Cautin river begins its journey to the sea. Hot laps or longer shots, the vertical drop is dictated by the group in a zone ideal for crushing lots of turns or for reflecting in this sacred indigenous valley while perfectly aligned with your surroundings. When the time is right return to the vehicle while enjoying the views of Volcanos and making the last turns count. Enjoy some Aprés with us at the 181 Bar where a social debriefing is in order and the first one is on us!
