Description

Located in the Valparaíso region of Chile, Portillo is one of the most popular ski resorts in the country and in South America. It is situated at 2,680 meters above sea level in the Andes. Here you can enjoy the slopes of this amazing mountain range while you contemplate the astonishing landscapes.

Due to the conditions of the terrain, this area is ideal to practice backcountry activities. On this opportunity, I offer you a splitboarding program that you can tailor to suit your preferences.

You can decide how many days you want to spend in this area. The proximity of the resort to Santiago allows you to go splitboarding for the day and then return. However, you can stay several days if that’s your wish. According to your level and expectations, we’ll arrange the most suitable itinerary so you can make the best out of your visit to Portillo.

Remember that you should have some prior splitboarding or skiing experience to join this trip. Also, it is important to have a good fitness level.

So get in touch with me and start planning your adventure in Portillo. All you have to do is send your request to book your place.

I also offer an expedition to a 6000-meter peak in Chile. Take a look at it and keep exploring this wonderful country!

Mountain Guide

My family brought me to the mountains of Portillo in the Andes, when I was barely 15 days old and I've been hocked ever since. Going there every year I´ve met great skiers and mountain people from all over the world and I was inspire by the adventure stories that brought them to these mountains. In my twenty’s I set out in search of that lifestyle, moved to the mountains and have been skiing and mountaineering ever since. Now after years exploring in the Andes and Patagonia, these are some of my favorite trips. Join me for some epic times!

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
