Description

Would you like to enjoy a thrilling alpine adventure in South America? Then come to Chile for a ski touring trip in the Central Andes. We can explore four different areas: Cajon del Maipo, Cerro Plomo, Portillo, Juncal Valley!

With easy access from Santiago, the Central Andes offer thousands of hectares of skiable terrain. People from all over the world come to this part of the world to explore beautiful glaciers, steep couloirs, and stunning powder slopes.

On this ski touring outing, we can discover four regions of the Central Andes. Furthermore, you can join me for several days and explore more than just one of them. These are our options:

Cajon del Maipo: With altitudes ranging from 2,500 to 4,500m., here we will find an awesome terrain with light and dry powder.
Cerro Plomo: This 5,434m. mountain has abundant snow even in spring, and offers breathtaking views of the Andes and its stunning valleys.
Portillo: From this world renowned ski resort we can easily reach awesome side-country areas with fresh powder and steep slopes.
Juncal Valley: Lying at the foot of Nevado Juncal and its fabulous glacier, this spot is perfect for skiing on different types of terrains.

Please keep in mind that this outing requires some ski touring experience and a good fitness level: we will climb carrying our skis to reach deep powder spots. Of course, I will be there every step of the way to help and guide you.

So if you are up for this amazing ski touring adventure in Chile, please get in touch with me. Let’s enjoy the fresh powder and the panoramic views of the Central Andes!

Mountain Guide

IFMGA/UIAGM Mountain Guide from Chile

I was born in 1990, and I always been surrounded by mountains, with family and friends in the Andes.

I did the first Chilean ascent to Cerro Torre via Ferrari route, four ascents to Mt, Fitz Roy, more than 12 to Torres del Paine and the first alpine traverse of the three towers.

I also climbed in the Himalayas, Yosemite, and other Andean countries such as Argentina, Bolivia and Peru.

I did the IFMGA/UIAGM aspirant course in 2017 in Bolivia, and completed the AIARE level 2 avalanche training.

I work together with my brother Juan (we are the Señoret Brothers). Contact me if you want to discover the most beautiful mountain spots in Chile!

What people are saying about -Cristobal

Syi

Our group had a great time skiing with Cristobal. He was everything you would expect a certified mountain guide to be. He was professional and safe, has exceptional mountain awareness and technical capabilities, and has great communication skills. He checked all the boxes for guiding and he made it fun as well. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a guided trip in Chile.

I was matched with Renato Esteban Rodriguez Parra Huaraz (License No. 155-22 w/IFMGA) who took me to Palestras, El Manzano, in Cajon del Maipo. Renato organized a taxi to pick me up and drop me off right at my hotel/airbnb. He was an amazing guide, who helped me push myself when I needed encouragement, gave beta when I felt stuck, and gave tips on how to properly prepare for the day of climbing. (Sunscreen, shoes, food, clothes, and gear). Renato was able to suggest difficult but doable routes based on what I told him for my level of climbing. I felt safe the entire time, I didn’t feel pressured to lead, he gave great recommendations for Santiago and the surrounding area, as knows a good bit about it such as fun things to do, and what areas are safe. His English is very good, there were almost no moments of misunderstanding each other due to a language barrier. In addition to climbing, has a passion for hip hop, and music. He regaled me with quite a few fun stories of living in the Santiago area. I’d say I’ve my one day climbing with him, my Spanish and my climbing improved. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
