Head south for winter. Find your next ski adventure in the Andes.
Chile brings high-altitude terrain, open faces and a fresh perspective on the ski season. While Europe is in summer, we work with experienced local operators to plan heli-skiing in the Andes, with time to enjoy the food, culture and mountain setting beyond the skiing.
WHY CHILE
Southern Hemisphere skiing during the European summer
High-altitude terrain and wide-open mountain faces
Expansive alpine landscapes with little tree skiing
A trip that combines skiing with Chilean food and culture
THE EXPERIENCE
The Andes set the scale: broad faces, high peaks and long descents when conditions allow. Your local guides choose terrain around your group and the day’s snow, with a flexible programme that leaves room to enjoy life at your mountain base.
A DAY IN THE MOUNTAINS
A briefing and a plan shaped by the conditions
Helicopter access to guided high-altitude skiing
Lunch in the mountains or back at base
Further runs as conditions permit, followed by food and downtime at the lodge
Weather, visibility and snow conditions determine flying and terrain choices.

CHILE, EXPLAINED
A few practical details before you travel. For advice specific to your group, SEND US AN ENQUIRY.
-
We focus on building the right trip for the right group.
Every trip is shaped around guest expectations, ability level, and overall experience, not just a fixed package. Where appropriate, a UNIQ host or coach may accompany the trip to support the group and overall delivery.
-
Send us your preferred dates, group size and skiing background. We’ll discuss suitable options, confirm availability and prepare a proposal with the price, inclusions and booking terms. An enquiry does not confirm a booking.
-
Previous heli-skiing experience is not essential, but guests should be confident skiing off-piste in varied snow conditions. Strong skiing ability is required.
-
You should have a good level of fitness and be comfortable skiing multiple runs per day in variable snow. You don’t need to be an athlete, but you should be able to ski confidently for several hours.
-
Your guides assess the weather, visibility and snow each day. Flying and skiing may be delayed or paused when conditions are unsuitable. Any alternative activities depend on the operator, location and your booked programme.
-
The number of runs varies with weather, snow conditions, group ability and your booked programme. Your proposal will set out the skiing allowance and any additional charges. We do not promise a fixed number of runs each day.
-
We’ll confirm the equipment requirements for your chosen programme, including suitable skis, clothing and avalanche safety equipment. Your proposal will explain what is provided and what you need to bring or arrange separately.
-
Solo skiers and pairs are welcome to enquire. We’ll confirm whether a suitable open departure or group place is available, matching the skiing and pace to your experience.
-
Chile is best suited to strong intermediate to advanced skiers who are confident skiing off-piste terrain and variable snow conditions.
