An incredible adventure you’d only get with a knowledgeable local guide!. As an experienced skier, this is the first time in many years that I’ve hired a guide, and it was MORE THAN worth it!! Felipe was quickly able to assess my skiing and mountaineering level, and as a result, we went for a proper adventure! Not only did we access terrain that only a local would know, but he taught me a range of new techniques with the ice axe and crampons, making me a lot more versatile for future trip. A quick but beautiful traverse and skin up from the top of the ski center allowed us to drop into some fresh snow and descend before a dip in a natural hot spring river, miles away from anyone else! We then put the skins back on and hiked to a ridge, where we changed into boot crampons and axes to reach the summit and drop down into Valle Hermoso (this was really something!) before a final descent through a tight and technical tree section. A proper adventure, a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks Felipe and the BackChillan team!
