Skiing the volcanos of CHILE

Buy snow online in Temuco

The Club Avalco explored the argentinian side for the first time in ; then in it was the turn of the Chilean side, which has easier access to the mountains. In order to reach the valleys the most practical solution is renting a car, preferably a 4WD pickup, given the state of the roads and the possible snow cover. Purchases on site. Technical food such as dehydrated meals is difficult to find; standard outdoor gear such as gas cartridges may be found in major cities. In Santiago the best mountain shop is probably La Cumbre in Providencia; it has quite a broad supply of climbing and trekking gear, but little or nothing for ski-mountaineering. Climate The best period for ski touring is september and october. August is still a winter month, considering the conditions of the mountains and the road access. Wind is very often present; windchill effect might be significant. As for wheather forecast, we suggest to consult www. Volcanic activity fumes, eruptions, lava flow, quakes is monitored and updated on this site www. The Ruta 5 panamericana is the main road in Chile, rather fast and well maintened. Roads to the valleys are generally in fair conditions, better than on the Argentina side. Some passes between the two countries are closed in winter. In many mountain areas there is no mobile coverage, except at ski resorts. For safety, a satellite phone is recommended. Most mountain areas see very few visitors, except the ones with ski resorts closed after end of september — mid october. It does not exist an organized rescue service covering the whole Chile; in case of emergency one shall call Police or Conaf within the natural parks and reserves. In any case, the efficiency of a rescue is not guaranteed since there is no standard protocol. There are no helicopters available for rescue operations, with very few exeptions. As a conclusion, one has to rely only upon self-rescue and accept all related risks and limitations. There are no dangerous animals in the territory, except the puma mountain lion which is very elusive and seldom spotted. Maps and Guides. The main valley is reached from Chillan via Ruta 5; approximately 80 km to Las Trancas m. Termas de Chillan is one of the best ski resorts of Chile. It offers 35 km of ski slopes between m and m, plus the famous hot springs. For Cerro Las Minas m you should consider two days with bivouac in tent there are no huts. In this valley we suggest to ski the Volcano Antuco m , getting a bit steep close to summit crampons useful , and featuring great views of the Laguna Laja, and Sierra Velluda m via the north side Glaciar Abanico ; with some climbing difficulties one can reach the la Cumbre Principal or the Cumbre Sur. The lower slopes of Antuco volcano. The Volcano Copahue m can be summited via the north-east slopes; on the argentinian side there is a spectacular lake of boiling lava. The Volcano Callaqui m is a long and wild itinerary, with an approach of 2 hours in the forest, before reaching the upper slopes which are good for skiing. In this valley you cannot miss the Volcano Lonquimay m, starting from the Corralco ski resort, a classic tour, very interesting also for the possibility to ski inside the crater. Vulcano Tolhuaca m is also a nice tour, less known than Lonquimay maybe due to a complex road approach. For the well trained skiers it is possible to ski both Tolhuaca and Lonquimay in the same day. Sierra Nevada m is well visible from Malalcahuello and offers attractive slopes above the forest line. However the approach in very long and mostly on foot till m altitude. It can be ascended from the west, starting at the Las Araucarias ski resort, or from the north starting near Laguna Conguillio. It is possible to ski down the west face but it is recommended to check the conditons since it is often icy. Left: the north aspcet of Villarrica. Right: the typical araucarias. The active Vulcano Villarrica m is reached from the Villarica-Pucon ski resort, on the north side, a classic and beautiful tour with great views over the lake. A wilder itinerary is from the south-east, but rather strenuous. The summit of Lanin can be climbed in 1 or 2 days, with optional overnight in one of the three bivouacs situated along the north-east ridge very basic huts with just a table and a few berths. Various lines are possible, all offer a great skiing on moderate to steep slopes. Crampons are needed to reach the summit. The most interesting objectives are Volcano Mocho m and Volcano Choshuenco m the main summit has some passages of rock ; the starting point is on private land for which an authorization is requested. The Volcano Casablanca m is reached starting from the Antillanca ski resort and offers easy and enjoyable slopes. Volcano Calbuco m , is a beautiful itinerary but most of it is done on foot; overnight possible at Calbuco Hut m. Is worth to mention Cerro Puntiagudo m a mythical peak which has attracted generations of climbers both local and from Europe. It is an extinct volcano with a very characteritic sharp shape, demanding a technical climb to the summit. It is definitely not a ski touring objective, but we mention it here as a provoking proposal to the most adventureous steep skiers. Access is from the Rio Sin Nombre valley.
