The terrain at Portillo can be as big as your imagination, opening up by traversing from either the Roca Jack, Condor, Vizcachas or Cara Cara lifts, skiers and snowboarders can access – weather and avalanche risks permitting – to renowned off-piste terrain such as the Primavera and Kilometro Lanzado runs. We strongly recommend first hiring a Portillo guide to show you the terrain.
Plateau and Condor offer the best terrain for skiers who are new to advanced runs. Groomed terrain steeper than intermediate runs on soft snow offers the perfect setting for skiers starting to explore the thrills of the black diamond runs. Condor features a Va-et-Vient lift and should be the first Va-et-vient experts use before riding the longer ones. See guide to using the Va-et-Vient lift.
The Roca Jack lift opens a wide area of terrain for advanced skiers. A short ride on the Va-et-Vient lift leads to the Roca Jack run, known for wide open descents on soft snow and breathtaking views. At the top, skiers will also find access to the Traverse, recommended for expert skiers only, which opens up a variety of steep chutes and descents that are unforgettable. Go with a guide for the best experience to discover secret lines.
Aceing powder turns above the mirrored waters of the lake is a must. The famous Lake Run is a long run from the Condor lift that goes all the way down to the edge of the lake. It’s known for its soft snow, views and the routes back to the hotel. When the lake is frozen, skiers can traverse back to the hotel by gliding over the frozen ice. Otherwise, the Inca Trail, an iconic journey is a traverse cut through the rocks that leads skiers back to the lifts.
Lunch at Tio Bob’s - renowned as one of the most stunning dining spots in the world, is the perfect break from lapping the expert terrain at Portillo. Enjoy lunch al fresco with panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains or inside the cozy dining room with a roaring fireplace. Tio Bob’s deck is a great place to plan future descents and watch other advanced skiers make their way down some of the nearby slopes. If you pay attention, you might be lucky to spot a skier making their way down Chimenea, a popular sidecountry chute just above Tio Bob’s near Condor.
