Portillo

A high altitude resort with plenty of wide-open cruising plus challenging terrain off the piste, with one hotel and no neighbouring town many guests say it feels like a private club. This intimate resort has a capacity for no more than 500 guests, and with 450 employees, guests can expect a high level of personal service. Many skiers/boarders have seen the iconic photos of the bright yellow Hotel Portillo with the magnificent backdrop of the snow-covered Andes. Or if they have not seen a photo, they’ve seen the Warren Miller movie where some crazy dudes practice their ski jumping into the hotel swimming pool.
