Hitting the slopes is easy because they're right outside the hotel's doors! Each time you enter the hotel, leave your skis and boots with the ski valets on the lower level – a hassle-free way to store your gear.
  TORCHLIGHT PARADE

On Fridays at 8pm, the Ski School performs an entertaining torchlight parade. The parade is best seen from the sundeck terrace outside the living room. Sometimes, if you ask, the Ski School might let you join them in the descent!
  SOL DE PORTILLO GUEST RACE

Every Thursday at noon all Portillo guests come together to match their skills against our best racers. You don't have to be a good skier to participate, however, and that's what makes this race so entertaining. The “Sol de Portillo” race can be enjoyed as much by our beginners as by our experts, because your level of skiing is not important if you want to have fun in Portillo, Chile. We will calculate your time as a percentage of the starter's time. Gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded in a lively ceremony in the hotel on Thursday evenings in the living room. Once you arrive in Portillo, please sign in for the "Sol de Portillo" race at the Ski School Office.
 

  SKI & SNOWBOARD VIDEO ANALYSIS

Improve your level of skiing, watching some interesting videos. We use the cinema in the afternoon to show videos of our guests skiing or snowboarding during their classes or during the “Sol de Portillo” race. Members of our Ski School are often on hand to give technical tips.
  HEALTH CLINIC

You can practice ski sports in Chile and be sure that you will receive health assistance if you need it. Two doctors and two nurses provide first-aid, general medicine and orthopedics. The health clinic is located on the lower level, and in case of emergency health services can be provided 24 hours a day.
