Farellones deservs to be the first mountain ski village in Chile where the winter sports have begun. It is only 1:20 from the Santiago International Airport.From here you may connect to Colorado, La Parva and Valle Nevado Ski Center, wich as a whole are the largest skiable domain in the southern hemisphere.Here you''ll find great mountain atmosphere, the most traditional house buildings and the exclusive Hotel Posada de Farellones, with more than 65 years in Hotel service.
