Visitor Reviews of Corralco-Lonquimay

Mike Taylor - CASA Tours Guide from CANADA writes:

I visit this resort often, the first time being the day they celebrated their chair-lift installation, in 2003, with media crews on scene, and a classy jazz quartet (no less) to entertain. It's in a very cold and windy zone, which results in outrageously deep snow in places, sometimes on the access road. Phoning ahead of arrival is always wise, as sometimes during the quiet season, there's no one around to run the lifts (the other 2 being a beginner's j bar/tow rope, and a t-bar). This volcano offers a most rewarding summit, and is a real grunt of a hike. There is often significant ice and/or avalanche concern, as parts of the ascent are quite steep. In Sept of 2007 I was lucky enough to catch it on a rare knee deep powder day untouched by the wind. It was without a doubt my best run of the year. Of course a pisco sour at the hotel bar after the descent is always in good taste...
