GETTING THERE

Nearest Airports

✈️

Santiago International
About 1–2 hours
drive time

Approximate planning ranges; allow extra time for traffic and winter conditions.

Fly into Santiago and arrange a mountain transfer or drive towards Farellones on G-21, then take the Valle Nevado access road. The winding route can take substantially longer in winter traffic. Check the mountain report for G-21/G-251 road conditions, direction-of-travel windows and any chain requirement before setting off in either direction.
