Portillo Chile

Portillo, Chile has been a travel destination since steam trains brought tourists high into the Andes in the late 1800’s. The bright yellow hotel, sitting close to the Argentine border crossing, has seen ski history unfold as early ski legends like Stein Erickson then Warren Miller, all the great national ski teams, and big mountain royalty, as well as regular guests, come to ski and enjoy the unique camaraderie of the remote location. Days are spent skiing, hanging onto the infamous slingshot lifts, relaxing at Tio Bob’s (making poor choices after Tio Bob’s) sitting in the pool overlooking Laguna del Inca and dancing the night away.
