Portillo 
Chile
The oldest ski resort in Chile has a pleasant and captivating atmosphere: that of a large family, where everyone knows each other and has fun together. In addition, the amazing view of untouched nature makes for an unforgettable vacation. The iconic yellow hotel is located in the middle of the snowy mountains and overlooking the Laguna del Inca. The slopes, which have already been frequented by great Olympic athletes, are adapted with options for all levels of skiers, including children, who learn in a special area with magic carpets and the presence of mascots; while the more experienced can practice Heliski. The structure is completed with a heated outdoor pool, spa, restaurant, bar and a complete program of activities throughout the day
