La Parva Trail Map
La Parva’s terrain is as visually stunning as it is diverse. Its 40 kilometers of skiable trails are smartly laid out across ridgelines and bowls, making navigation intuitive even for first-timers. Beginners can enjoy gentle slopes near the base and progress to wider cruisers mid-mountain. The resort’s layout gives novice skiers confidence and clear runs, while maintaining separation from steeper trails—helping families and learners feel secure and supported.
Intermediate skiers have access to flowing trails that arc along the resort’s upper ridges, offering long runs with big Andean views. The ""Manzanito"" and ""La Golondrina"" zones are crowd favorites, allowing room to carve while soaking in the massive terrain below. Terrain here is fast, open, and rewarding—especially on sunny days after a fresh snowfall, when the groomers feel like velvet.
Advanced and expert skiers get the full payoff at La Parva. Roughly 61% of the terrain is rated advanced or expert, including steeps, couloirs, and natural chutes. Runs like ""Fabres"" and ""McConkey"" offer heart-racing descents, while the ""María"" bowl features challenging lines with variable conditions. The vertical drop of 921 meters (3,021 feet) creates enough room for serious legs-on-fire laps from top to bottom, especially when tackling the 2-kilometer-long ""Barros Negros"" run.
La Parva also shines for its sidecountry and backcountry access. A short traverse from the top lifts leads to untouched powder zones above the main resort. On storm days, experienced riders head toward the “La Chimenea” area, which offers dramatic drops and deep stashes not visible from groomed trails. Guides are recommended here due to the variable snowpack and avalanche risk.
Freestyle skiers and snowboarders will find two terrain parks to explore. These include medium- to large-sized features like tabletops, boxes, and rails, with the layout evolving throughout the season. Freestyle zones are visible from lifts, which gives the area a lively, energetic vibe during peak hours.
Families and mixed-ability groups will appreciate the thoughtful design of the mountain. Base-area lifts connect to gentle learning zones, while upper lifts unlock high-elevation challenges. There's a distinct rhythm to La Parva’s terrain—whether you're chasing fresh lines or just cruising the corduroy, the resort offers something for every skier and rider.
