guided backcountry

in the heart of the andes

Ski The Andes delivers boutique guided backcountry splitboard and ski touring adventures deep in the Chilean Andes. Our trips are designed for experienced skiers and riders who seek serious terrain, deep snow, and authentic cultural connection. We explore remote, big mountains with local guides who call this place home. From who you ski or ride with to where you sleep, what’s for dinner and how we après, every detail is intentionally chosen to reflect the soul of Andean mountain life.

Sick Skiing & Riding

with Local Pros

We’re a tight crew of local Chilean freeriders & guides based in Las Trancas, dead center in the middle of the most epic terrain in South America. From the endless backcountry of Nevados de Chillán to the countless remote valleys north and south, we use 4x4’s, sleds, chairlifts, touring gear and winter camping to get to those special places just beyond the normal boundaries.

Freeride at the Core

Safety at the Forefront

Designed by hardcore freeride skiers and riders and supported by ANGM-certified Chilean guides, every Ski The Andes trip is built to find the sickest terrain possible with safety always at the forefront. Our guides have spent years learning these snowpacks, studying weather patterns, and understanding terrain nuances to put you in the right place at the right time, safely and confidently.

THE EXPERIENCE

full send

zero compromise

We summit volcanoes, link big tours, use sleds to go deep, and camp at hot springs beneath big lines, balancing full days in the mountains with bonfires, proper asados, high-alpine hut smorgasbords, and the occasional band cranking late into the evening. Every detail exists for one reason: to create the best possible conditions for skiing and riding the sickest terrain in the Andes, with the right crew, the right way.
