Ski Area

Over the past 50 years, Portillo has gained a reputation as an excellent destination for skiers and boarders.

With our first-rate snow, we can cater to skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. 80% of the terrain is carefully groomed on a daily basis, and the most difficult terrain is natural snow pack. Expert skiers have access to vast and challenging areas, steep terrain and exhilarating experiences.
There are plenty of choices at Portillo and all are easy to access and crowd free. Portillo also allows beginners and intermediate to excel at their own pace on groomed runs and open bowls.

Powder Skiing and Unpacked Runs

Portillo is renown for its powder skiing, and with so few guests there’s no worry that everything will be tracked out by the afternoon. We do not groom some of our guests’ favorite advanced runs such as Garganta, Condor and Roca Jack. Our guests like these vertical runs as nature leaves them.

Beginners

Portillo is an excellent place to learn how to ski or snowboard. With the help of our Ski School, beginners will find themselves turning confidently in no time. El Puma, El Corralito, and La Princesa are our beginners runs.

Intermediate

For skiers and boarders who already feel comfortable on the mountain, we have El Conejo, Las Lomas, Canarios and Bajada del Tren.

Advanced

The Juncalillo run is Portillo's longest and the favorite practice run site of the U.S. and Austrian ski teams. Jean-Claude Killy won a gold medal on our Plateau Run, probably our most popular run at the resort. David’s Run, Descenso, Los Zorros, and El Estadio offer variety and excitement.

Expert

Portillo's expert runs are renowned. They include the Roca Jack and Condor runs, so steep they require a special, one-of-its-kind lift; the Upper Plateau and Garganta; and the famous Kilometro Lanzado, home to three speed skiing trial records. The 200km speed barrier was broken, for the first time, here on Portillo’s Kilometro Lanzado.

Off-Piste Terrain

Using either our Roca Jack or Condor lifts, skiers and snowboarders can traverse - weather and avalanche risks permitting - to unbelievable off-piste terrain, such as the steep, powdery Primavera Run. The ideal way to ski off-piste terrain is to first hire a guide who can show you the secret spots and powder stashes.
