## About La Parva

La Parva is the most village-like of the three Santiago resorts — a cluster of privately owned chalets rather than a hotel block — and it has a following among Santiago families who have been coming for generations.

Being in the southern hemisphere, its south-facing slopes are the shaded ones, so they hold snow better than the sunnier aspects nearby. It links on one ticket with El Colorado and Valle Nevado.

## Where lessons start

Quieter than Valle Nevado and with a family atmosphere. Same altitude caveat as the rest of the Tres Valles: tell your instructor if you flew in that morning.

## Getting there

Santiago is around an hour and a half up the same switchback road; chains are often required after a storm.
