One yellow hotel, one cobalt lake, the whole Andes.
Portillo is one iconic yellow hotel on the shore of a frozen cobalt lake, high in the Chilean Andes with no town and no crowds — just your group, a legendary lake-mirror setting, and some of the steepest off-piste in South America. Olympic teams train here in our summer; the rest of the year it’s a private world.
Famous slingshot lifts fire you up to steep, empty Andean off-piste, with the cobalt Laguna del Inca far below. World-class terrain, almost no one on it, in the months the rest of the world can’t ski.
One grand hotel above a frozen cobalt lake, ringed by Andean peaks. There is nothing else here — that is entirely the point.
Full board, the same faces all week, and a famous dining room — Portillo turns a ski trip into a house party at altitude.
With one hotel and one table, the whole group dines together all week. By day three you’re a family.
Steep empty terrain, a legendary lake-mirror setting, and one hotel that turns the week into a house party — Portillo is a private Andean world, open in our summer. We take the whole place: the rooms, the table, the slingshot lifts. Bring your group. Once it’s set, you travel free.
