Visitor Reviews of Corralco-Lonquimay

Phil Smith from Snoworks All Mountain Ski Courses from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

This is one of our favourite places and part of our 7 Volcanoes Adventure trip we organise every year. On arriving at Corralco you feel like you've arrived in paradise. One beautiful lodge surrounded by stunning araucarias trees. The volcano Lonquimay is spectacular. There are two ski lifts, but who needs more when you have the whole place to yourself. The one main chairlift opens up huge off-piste and you can ski to your heart content untracked snow. We've been lucky and countless times we've had powder all to ourselves.
If you're fit and an experienced off-piste skier then you can get to the top of the volcano. The climb up will take about 3/4 hours. Be careful it's misleading as it gets pretty steep near the top. We always partner up with our Chilean team Cristian and Guido from Amity Tours. The crater at the top is enormous and the views spectacular. The best route down is on the south side. We're in the southern hemisphere so south facing is the equivalent of north facing for us in Europe. You can descend directly down the south face but again be careful. There is a rock band stretching across the face but enough room to ski through. The snow has always been fantastic and it's a great descent. We'll be back here every August and September on out Chilean adventure. Click onto the Snoworks website if you want more info or would like to join us. Phil
