About Skiing in Chile

Chile has 7 published ski resorts in the SkiGrade database. The largest by vertical drop is Nevados de Chillán with 1100m of vertical drop. Use the resort cards above to quickly compare key stats across all Chile resorts, or click through to any resort for a full breakdown including terrain mix, elevation profile, and head-to-head comparisons.

All stats shown are based on published resort data. Vertical drop is the most reliable indicator of overall mountain size — it tells you how long a top-to-bottom run actually is. Snowfall figures are annual averages and can vary significantly year to year. Terrain percentages (beginner, intermediate, advanced) reflect how each resort categorises its own marked trails.
