Ski touring day in Cajon del Maipo, close to Santiago, Chile

If you are a thrill-seeker who is passionate about freeride skiing, adventure and exploration of new and beautiful natural places, then join me on this ski touring day in Cajon del Maipo, close to Santiago, Chile, as I guide you around the massive mountains of the region to find the best skiing and hiking spots that also provide the most exposure to the endless raw natural beauty and magnificent views out over the countryside.

Cajon del Maipo is a canyon located approximately a 3-hour drive from the Chilean capital city of Santiago, and is known for containing some of the highest mountain and volcano peaks in the country, including Marmolejo (6108m), the most southerly 6000m+ mountain in the world.

Our trip begins when I pick you up at 8am at Los Valdes or Lodge el Morado, and from there we drive to my refuge, located at 2700m high, which will be our base for the day.

From the refuge we then have free reign of the mountains around us, and I will utilize my expert local knowledge to help choose the most fun and enjoyable places to go, as we hike and ski on excellent and fresh powder.

The conditions are almost perfect here, and along the way there will be ample time to stop and admire some of the truly epic views of the landscape, scenery and terrain in front of us, with the vast tracts of Chilean countryside stretching out to the horizon.

Our day finishes by heading back to the refuge and then dropping you back to your pick-up point at around 5pm, hopefully having whetted your appetite to indulge in more ski touring in this sensational place.
