Located in the heart of the Andes, just 2 hours from Santiago and close to Los Libertadores Pass, it offers a unique mountain experience surrounding the spectacular Laguna del Inca. This centre combines tradition, exclusivity and majestic scenery. With tracks suitable for all skill levels, a hotel with over 70 years of history, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere, Portillo is ideal for skiers looking to break free from the routine and experience snow in an authentic and immersive way.
The season in Portillo runs from late June to early September, with July and August being the months with the best snow quality. It's the perfect time to hit the slopes or simply enjoy the surroundings in one of Chile's most iconic winter landscapes.
In winter, the weather in Portillo is cold and dry, with temperatures ranging from -10 °C to 5 °C. Snowfalls are frequent, and clear skies offer incredible views of Laguna del Inca and the mountains. We recommend warm clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen, and snow gear.
