SANTIAGO, Chile – Helicopter skiing is among the coolest things you can do in skiing and snowboarding. Accessing sweet terrain in one of the coolest ways possible, flying from mountain to mountain. It’s pretty sweet. But taking off from a city rooftop and flying into the mountains? That’s quite a bit cooler.
Stellar Adventure Travel’s Chile helicopter-skiing trip offers the incredibly unique ability to do exactly that. After several days of resort and helicopter skiing out of and around La Prava Resort, guests have the option to spend two nights at the W Hotel in downtown Santiago, taking off from the city and heading either to the mountains for more skiing, or to the beaches for surfing.
Both the hotel and the city are stunning, with Santiago tucked in the mountains. The city is pretty massive, with a population of ~6.68 million people, and views from the hotel allow you to see quite a lot. The W Santiago has a rooftop pool, a wellness club, and plenty of attractions nearby. Of course, if you choose to stay there, you hopefully won’t be inside the hotel for all that long, as you’ll most likely be skiing/snowboarding/surfing.
The Stellar Chile trip is 8 total days, featuring plenty of skiing/snowboarding/surfing, a private chef for three gourmet meals a day, and super experienced guides and pilots. If you’re interesting in going on one of these adventures, and potentially taking off from the roof of a city hotel, you can inquire for more information here.
