Published on 11/14/2026 at 14:34 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSExtended skiing and mountain access
- The resort operator lists skiing at Plaza La Góndola from 13 November 2026 through 1 December 2026.
- Five named lifts and ski services are scheduled during the extended period, subject to weather and mountain safety.
- The mountain report records 734 cm of total snow in 2026 and identifies Route G-21 as the access road.
- Operations are limited to selected dates after 9 November 2026, with lifts scheduled from 8.30am to 2pm.
Valle Nevado Ski Resort will extend its 2026 ski season through 1 December, bringing a further run of selected operating dates to the mountain centre above Santiago de Chile. The operator lists skiing and services at Plaza La Góndola during the extension, subject to weather and mountain safety conditions.
Valle Nevado Ski Resort extends skiing through 1 December
The extension covers 13, 14 and 15 November, 20, 21 and 22 November, 27, 28, 29 and 30 November, and 1 December 2026. The operator describes this as a revised schedule for the 2026 season, rather than a return to daily operations.
The resort's extension schedule names the Prado, Góndola, Vaivén, Candonga and Andes Express lifts. Ski school and ski-day services, customer service, and clothing and equipment rental are listed on the first floor of Plaza La Góndola. Dining is listed at El Montañés, Rincón La Leñera and the kiosk at Plaza La Góndola.
Selected dates reshape the late-season ski programme
From 9 November, the planned lift period is 8.30am to 2pm on the listed dates. The operator says the arrangement depends on weather and mountain safety, so the published dates do not guarantee that every slope or lift will operate on every visit.
The change gives visitors from Santiago a narrower late-season pattern to plan around. The mountain report confirms that the slopes are closed from Monday to Thursday from 9 November, apart from the specified end-of-season dates, while its November update lists the same final operating day of 1 December.
The November operations update also records current road and slope information. Its date-specific details connect the revised ski calendar with conditions on the mountain, rather than treating the extension as a standard seasonal timetable.
The Andes setting defines the December extension
Valle Nevado Ski Resort is a ski area in the Chilean Andes above Santiago. The resort's own contact information places it on Camino a Valle Nevado in Farellones, within Lo Barnechea and the Santiago area.
The late-season schedule makes Plaza La Góndola more than a meeting point for skiers. It is the listed location for the ski school, ski-day services, ticket office, customer service and equipment rental, so the extension concentrates essential visitor functions in one named part of the resort.
The operator's mountain report records 734 cm of total snow in 2026 and 13 open slopes out of 45 in its update of 13 November. Those figures are a snapshot of conditions, while the extension itself remains subject to further snow, weather and safety decisions.
