When to Choose a Ski Week in Portillo?
The Ski Week is the resort’s classic and traditional format. It is the ideal choice if you are traveling from abroad or want to make the most of the slopes, progression in the Ski School, and the hotel’s social life. By staying a full week, you have plenty of time to unwind in the heated pool, enjoy themed dinners, and see a noticeable improvement in your skiing or snowboarding technique.
It is best for you if:
- You travel with family and prefer all-handled logistics without packing and unpacking quickly.
- You want to take consecutive lessons to level up your skiing (from beginner to intermediate/advanced).
- Your trip involves international flights and you want to maximize your travel time by staying longer on the mountain.
When to Choose a Mini Week in Portillo?
The Mini Week was designed to offer maximum flexibility. It is perfect for those seeking a short, high-intensity mountain getaway without committing to a full week off work. By dividing the week into blocks (Saturday-Wednesday or Wednesday-Saturday), it allows for a perfect mid-winter break.
It is best for you if:
- You live in Santiago or nearby areas and want an extended weekend of premium skiing.
- You have limited vacation days available on your schedule.
- You want to combine your trip to Chile with other tourist destinations (such as Santiago or central region wineries) and dedicate just a few days to the snow.
Frequently Asked Questions About Length of Stay
Does the Mini Week price vary between 3 or 4 nights?
Yes, rates are calculated proportionally according to the number of nights in the selected block (the Saturday to Wednesday block covers 4 nights, while Wednesday to Saturday covers 3 nights).
Do both programs include the same hotel benefits?
Absolutely. Regardless of whether you stay 3, 4, or 7 nights, both programs give you unlimited access to four daily meals, lift tickets, hot tubs, fitness center, daily resort activities, and ski storage.
Can you combine two Mini Weeks?
If you wish to stay for an intermediate number of days that doesn’t fit a standard Ski Week, we recommend reaching out directly to the reservations team to check availability and design a custom itinerary.
