Volcan Villarrica Ski Center

Ski Pucon is a tiny resort located 12kms from Pucón in Chile's beautiful Lake District. This is a truly unique resort with natural terrain on the slope of a smoking volcano. The volcano's terrain structure offers natural steeps, jumps and halfpipes for advanced and intermediate skiers and riders, and sweeping views. The drawbacks of this resort are slow lifts and the frequent closing of lifts.

Volcan Villarrica Ski Center Review

I skiied here in late July 2005. It was some of the best snow I've skied on in 20+ years. It wouldn't call it difficult terrain, suitable to both beginners and intermediates... [! full_review
