Heliskiing north Chile / Central Andes


We offer heli-packages in the Chilean Central Andes, between latitude 32 degrees and 35 degrees south. We are based outside of Santiago, Chile where we have access to thousands of hectares of unlimited terrain. Such terrain includes the Aconcagua region (CERRO ACONCAGUA ,6967 mts,highest peak of Americas), Juncal and Rio Colorado Valleys to the north, the Olivares, Parraguirre, and Tupungato Valleys located centrally, and the Aparejo, Marmolejo, Pangal, Rengo to Tinguiririca Valleys to the south. This is an amazing vast mountain region about 400 km long, offering a variety of endless terrain from glaciated Andean peaks to steep ridges and gullies, with elevations ranging from 2,500 meters (8,250"D5) to 4,500 meters (14,850"D5), a combination of some of the world ?D5 most exciting Heli-skiing/snowboarding terrain imaginable, surrounded by a breathtaking backdrop of 6,700 meters (22,000"D5) peaks. We have the privilege of dry continental snow pack at high altitude, synonymous with champagne powder at its best. Snow accumulation comes from the Pacific Ocean, a mere 100 miles (160 km) west of the Andes. Flying conditions are best during winter, due to an almost zero thermal reduction, a daily weather phenomena in summer, caused by heat and cumulus build-up in early afternoon.
