Valle Nevado Trail Map

Valle Nevado’s terrain offers a compelling mix for skiers and snowboarders across the spectrum. At 40 kilometers of skiable trails and 890 hectares of accessible mountain, the resort is known for its wide-open feel. Unlike the tight tree-lined runs of some North American mountains, Valle Nevado’s high-altitude setting means wide, unobstructed slopes with massive sightlines. The terrain spreads outward and upward from the central base, served efficiently by a modern lift system that includes high-speed quads and gondolas.

Beginners are well supported with clearly marked green trails near the base and excellent ski school zones. The learning terrain is broad and gentle, allowing new skiers to gain confidence in a low-pressure environment. Once comfortable, progression to longer, cruisy blue trails is seamless, offering beautiful mountain views without steep pitches. Families will especially appreciate how easy it is to regroup and navigate the mountain thanks to the hub-and-spoke trail layout.

Intermediate skiers can enjoy some of the resort’s most scenic runs, including long blue groomers that span ridgelines and drop gradually through bowls and open faces. The width of the trails here means less crowding and more freedom to carve. For those seeking a sense of movement and rhythm, the two-kilometer-long run connecting multiple segments of the mountain is a highlight.

Advanced terrain is where Valle Nevado truly shines. With 41% of the trails classified as advanced and 20% as expert, there’s no shortage of challenge. Black and double-black runs spill down steep faces, ridge drops, and natural bowls. Areas like La Garganta and El Colorado offer steep verticals and natural features that appeal to thrill-seekers, especially on powder days.

Off-piste access is another standout feature. Because of its location and elevation, the resort often holds snow well into the day and is less affected by freeze-thaw cycles. Adventurous skiers will appreciate the lift-accessible sidecountry, which opens up even more lines and backdrops without the need for hiking or skinning. Guides are available for those who want to explore safely beyond the ropes.

Freestyle skiers and riders can hit Valle Nevado’s terrain park, which features rails and jump lines designed to match intermediate and advanced skill levels. Though smaller than parks at some North American resorts, it’s maintained regularly and offers a fun break from traditional runs. Combined with scenic ridgelines, wind lips, and natural terrain features, the mountain becomes a playground for creative riding.
