If you want to experience skiing the Andes, but aren’t interested in the resort experience, then Farallones is for you! A charming mountain village, Farallones offers you a more authentically Chilean experience, and a wider array of lodging options, than you’ll find in purpose-built resorts. Its benign slopes are perfect for beginners, and it’s linked to El Colorado’s wider variety of terrain, making Farellones a great choice for families. It’s also close to the other resorts in Tres Valles - La Parva and Valle Nevado – so it’s a fantastic spot for skiers and snowboarders who want to try them all!

For beginners
Farellones only has beginner terrain, making it the ultimate learning area. There is only one lift here to help never-evers sample the mellow terrain however there is an abundance of more challenging beginner terrain over in El Colorado which can skied under the same lift ticket.
For intermediates
There is no intermediate terrain here. Best to check out the interconnected neighboring El Colorado instead which can also be skied under the same lift ticket.
For experts
There is no advanced terrain here. Neighboring resort El Colorado is interconnected and has a few advanced/expert trails which you can ski under the same lift ticket, although their black runs are not very challenging. Nearby La Parva and Valle Nevado has more suitable advanced and expert trails.
