Heliski in the Chilean Central Andes!
Located in the stunning Chilean Central Andes, Powder South provides unrivaled heli-skiing adventures, ensuring access to a variety of terrains, ranging from awe-inspiring glaciated Andean peaks to steep ridges and gullies.
The high altitude of the Andes combined with the Pacific Ocean 160km to the west, provides the perfect combo of light and dry champagne powder, stable snow conditions and flying-friendly weather during winter!
Mountains & Terrains
Powder South Heli-Ski offers access to vast expanses of pristine powder snow across diverse terrain, from glaciated Andean peaks to steep ridges and gullies. Elevations range from 2,500 meters (8,250 feet) to 4,500 meters (14,850 feet), amidst majestic 6,700-meter (22,000-foot) peaks.
