What people are saying about Esnativa

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Esnativa! From start to finish, everything was seamless, safe, and completely worry-free. The accommodations were terrific—comfortable, welcoming, and well thought out in every detail. What really made the trip special, though, were the incredibly knowledgeable and friendly guides. A heartfelt thank you to Augustin, Pedro, and Felipe (Pipe) for going above and beyond to make our journey so memorable.

Esnativa helped us have a spectacular time at Nevados de Chillan. If you are looking for a group to get you on the right path to the pow stashes. These are your guys!

I wish I could give 6 stars. Esnativa went above and beyond to help with a wide variety of logistical tasks that made my trip immensely better. In the resort, side country, and back country, Agus is a talented mountaineer who keenly manages safety, while keeping the vibe extremely fun and light. Skiing is about fun, and these guys did an exemplary job making sure I was able to get the very most out of my time in Chile. That is the highest complement I can give a guide company. I can't recommend them enough and I will definitely be back next Winter--thanks to all at Esnativa!!!

My family skied with Niki and we made memories that will last us the rest of our lives. He was a pro from start to finish, and he quickly felt like someone we’ve known all our lives. We felt completely safe with Niki, which meant that we were able to have the most fun. His humor, knowledge, and love for Bariloche seeped into every moment of our adventure. Will be on a high from this trip for a while!

Unforgettable Backcountry Skiing with Esnativa – An Experience of a Lifetime I had the absolute pleasure of skiing with Esnativa Backcountry in Chile, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the very first day, it was clear this was going to be more than just a ski trip — it was an adventure I’ll be talking about for years. The snow conditions were unreal — deep, dry powder that seemed endless, with untouched lines and terrain that felt like it was made just for us. Every descent was better than the last, framed by jaw-dropping views of the Andes that constantly reminded us we were in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. But what truly made this trip unforgettable was the guiding. Agustín is not only an expert in the mountains — his knowledge, professionalism, and eye for safe, thrilling terrain were top-tier — but he’s also an incredible human being. By the end of the trip, he wasn’t just our guide — he was a friend, and someone I genuinely look forward to seeing again. This was my first time skiing with Esnativa, but it will not be the last. I’m already planning to come back with even more friends so they can experience what I did. If you’re looking for authentic, exhilarating, and expertly guided backcountry skiing in Chile, look no further.
