With Santiago sitting at the foot of the Andes, Chile's capital city
provides great access for world-class skiing and snowboarding
opportunities. Nearby peaks rise to over 5,000 meters (19,000 feet),
giving the city a remarkable backdrop.
Bariloche, known as the "Aspen of Argentina," has a small resort-town
atmosphere, with cafés, restaurants, and bars providing gathering points
after a day on the slopes.
The South American ski season runs from late June through early
September. Trip packages include housing with local families and
group Spanish classes taught by University-trained teachers.
Enjoy world-class skiing and snowboarding, learn Spanish, and soak up the warm and friendly culture found in South America - all during the North American Summer! Only with Summer on the Snow!
