Ski Araucarias just released this map of their new snowpark and lift access terrain. This resort is located in the south of Chile on a glacier. The highest chairlift reaches 1,942 Meters or 6371 feet. The resort is located 82kms northeast of Temuco, Chile on the Llaima Volcano in the 9th region of Chile. It is within the Nacional Park Conguillio, a beautiful location with forests of Araucaria trees, also known as Monkey trees. You might have seen this location in Planet Earth's segment on forests. To get there from Temuco go North on Route 5: the Panamerican Highway and go east on Ruta S-31, passing through Vilcun and Cherquenco and you'll reach the resort of Las Araucarias. From Santiago go south on Route 5: the Panamerican Highway until you pass Lautaro, then head east on Ruta S-31 before you reach Temuco.
This resort will be a true sight to see, and its a world away from the more modern resorts such as Valle Nevado or Termas de Chillan. Be prepared for stormy weather and possible road closings. Anything is possible in the South of Chile. Good luck and have a great time at Las Araucarias.
