To get to the snow from Santiago, the neighbourhood matters less than the <strong>meeting point</strong>: pack transfers leave at 07:00 from La Casa del Ski, at Vitacura 9016, and on full-day trips the point and time are confirmed by WhatsApp. Valle Nevado is about 46 km from Santiago and, from the edge of the city to Farellones, it is a little over an hour; the difference between Las Condes, Vitacura and Providencia is small next to the mountain road. We have not measured times by neighbourhood, so we do not give them; what decides is the <strong>type of lodging</strong>. The brand has 40 lodgings: 34 apartments and 6 boutique-hotel rooms.

Rule: a family or group that wants to cook and have parking, an apartment in Las Condes or Vitacura. A couple that prefers a boutique hotel and the city, Providencia.

Most apartments are in Las Condes.
