 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
If I can get away at the beginning of September I am thinking of a week in Portillo or in the 3 Valleys and just wondered if anyone else would be out there at that time. I have been several times and know the areas well.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Could well be. Either NZ or S America. Depends on the snow and I will make a decision at the last minute.
Been to both places.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

To fly to Santiago and back it costs approx £1000 with either Air France, Iberia, Air Canada, KLM etc.
Then you have approx 2 hour transfer to nearest resort Valle Nevado or La Parva

Am off to Valle Nevado in the 3 valleys at beginning of Sepember. The snow is too good to miss this year and I have convinced myself that it is better there than December in Europe - but at a price! The packaage at the hotel is excellent value and I got a flight with Iberia. Am not getting any younger so am going for it while I can!!

Got mine with airmiles but web price today is £1120. Air Canada via Toronto is worth a try.

Just had a quick look for flights with LanChile for a quick week in September. Quite resonable . Think I can get it cheaper via Argentina and hop over with Southern Winds (if they do it) or Aerolineas Argentinas
Just checked with Aerolineas Argentinas London -Santiago via (madrid & buenos Aries) £673 begin of Septmeber.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Just read that Southern Winds (Argentina low cost) airlines stopped operating in 2005. Airport police in Madrid discovered 60 kilograms of cocaine packed in four unaccompanied suitcases aboard an arriving Southern Winds flight. The resulting scandal cost the airline its government subsidy, and ultimately resulted in the carrier's collapse.
Shame as they were cheap,I used them alot flying around Argentina.
