PROGRAM

A driver meets you at Santiago International Airport (Arturo-Merino-Benitez) and takes you to the hotel selected for you in Santiago.
You will then be taken to our base in Tobalaba to meet the team of guides and logistics staff who will be overseeing your stay. You will be able to discover the program and get a weather briefing in order to plan the week’s heliskiing.
Next, there is a safety briefing and equipment check so that you are ready to go as soon as possible the next day.
You can then enjoy Santiago, where you have dinner and spend your first night.

Breakfast is at the hotel before you are driven to the helipad.
You take off from the roof of the Titanium tower to fly to Andino Lodge.
Drop-offs start from this first day, so you can make the most of the playground offered by the Andes mountains.
The team will have prepared a gourmet picnic for you to eat in the mountains so you can make the most of the day.
You then make your way to Andino Lodge where you will be staying for the next few nights.
The Lodge is set away from the hustle and bustle, in the heart of natural surroundings, so you can relax and unwind after the day’s heliskiing.
The chef will delight you with his tasty and generous cuisine, made with Chilean specialties.

The helicopter picks us up in the morning from outside the lodge. Over these two days, we will explore the Cajon del Maipo area, a famous canyon to the south-east of Santiago.
The terrain is rich with its glaciers and long, steep slopes, and has some of the highest peaks in the region, including the San José volcano.
After a day of skiing, you can stop off to enjoy the natural hot springs.
You will mainly be skiing throughout the morning when the snow conditions are better and can then discover other activities in the afternoon (rafting, kayaking, mountain biking, yoga or simply a massage…).

We leave Andino Lodge after breakfast for drop-offs and skiing.
This time, we head to Vik Winery where there is a vineyard, of course, as well as a fabulous hotel that will be your cosy cocoon for two nights.
A Chilean wine tasting will be proposed and you can also enjoy the hotel’s swimming pool and spa.
Dinner is at the winery.

After breakfast we leave from the estate for our heliskiing session.
There will be a gourmet snack to enjoy during the drop-offs and we then return to the winery to spend the end of the day and our last night in this beautiful hotel.

We enjoy a final breakfast at Vik Winery and then board the helicopter for Santiago.
There will be plenty of opportunities to ski along the way and we will certainly make the most of these final drop offs.
After landing at the top of the Titanium Tower, you will be taken to your hotel for a last night in Santiago.

You can enjoy breakfast before being taken to Santiago International Airport for your return flight.

ACCOMMODATION

There are three different types of accommodation to enjoy during your trip. On the first and last nights, you stay in Santiago, usually at the Ritz Carlton hotel, but you can opt for another hotel.
We will select a luxury hotel in a central location to make it easier for you to explore the city.
For the first two nights of the week, you will be staying at the Andino Lodge, a charming and typically Chilean accommodation. It is an ideal place to stay, with comfortable rooms, a very spacious lounge and all the facilities you need for total relaxation (sauna, swimming pool, Jacuzzi, etc.) in the heart of a lush garden. The icing on the cake is the helipad at the end of the garden!
Finally, you will be surprised by Vik Winery, a place of remarkable architecture and unique design. The vineyard is all around you and the large picture windows offer incredible views of the Andes.
Gastronomy is an important part of Chilean culture and, throughout your stay, you will be able to enjoy the chefs’ cuisine based on local flavors.
The Chilean wine tasting will delight wine lovers.
