Gabriel the expert entertainer!
neilnotsoyoung2
Gabriel is a superb tour guide. He is punctual, ready to adapt quickly to his guests' needs, full of the information you want, and most of all, is witty and warm. A wry entertainer, he makes a long day great fun. And these really are small group tours, so Gabriel's service is personal. His van is clean and in great condition for a smooth drive - a very valuable thing on the winding roads up to the spectacular Andes. In all, I am very happy to recommend Gabriel.
Zigzag Drive, Lots Of Snow and Not Much Else

This could be an amazing trip but as I found out, it is very weather dependant. When we left Santiago around 0800 there was a steady rain coming down and overcast. About 45 minutes into the trip we stopped at a gear rental place where you can rent things like, snow pants, winter coats, boots and ski equipment, etc. As we started up the mountain the rain quickly changed to snow which was beginning to stick to the road so our driver wisely stopped and put snow chains on our van, a very wise decision. The drive up to Valle Nevado is a 2500m ascent to the resort at 3000m. This is a very slow zigzag trip up the mountain with approximately 60 switchbacks taking around 1 hour. Once safely at the top our group had around an hour to walk around the resort, take photos and use the washrooms. This would have been a fantastic place to spend a few hours relax and get some magical photos but due to the weather we were in a whiteout with nothing to see except snow and no where to relax as the ski resort has not opened for the season. In my opinion I would not recommend this tour at this time of year. It’s a very treaterous drive in bad weather, there is nothing to see as the views are completely obscured, nothing is open in the resort and due to the weather getting worse our day trip was almost cut in half. All that said, our guide Alvaro and our amazing driver Recardo were both friendly, helpful and most important attentive to our safety. They were excellent!!!👍
Great skiing day.

Booked this when I was visiting Santiago with my daughter. Gabriel our guide was great. He picked us up right on time, took us to a local ski shop to renting our ski equipment, and then helped us getting out lift ticket. Snow pack was a little low this year, but still was good skiing. At the end of the day, our guide was right there to pick us up. Overall could not have asked for better service from this tour.From when they picked us up, to all the information provided throughout the day. Very informative & also very relaxing & safe. A group of 10 was the perfect amount & the Lagoon was beautiful - enough time here was spent eating at the restaurant as well as taking photos. The wine tasting section was also cute. In a family owned business with very tasty wine. So glad to have chosen this tour - it created lifetime memories for us. Thank you!

Skiing or not skiing. No question. Even for those who do not know, do not want or can not ski, the tour is worth the beauty of the landscapes. The road is steep and winding (we are in the Cordillera) so it is important to be with an experienced and safe driver. You can also stay at hotels, Airbnb or guesthouses in Nevado Valley. For those who are not going to ski, it is better to stay in Santiago and make a walk around.

We made the trip to Nevado Valley and Farellones with the Guide Álvaro and the driver Gregório. A thousand notes for them. Gentle, polite and very receptive. We love the experience.
