Villarrica-Pucon is about 800 kilometers south of Santiago, accessible by a well maintained paved road and a dirt access road. The area is on an active volcano.
Weather here is a problem.
During the 1994 season, storms knocked down towers on the three lifts that service the upper mountain advanced terrain. Hopefully these lifts will be fixed for the 1995 season. The top lift served elevation is 2080 meters. The base elevation is 1410 meters. There are trails for all ability levels and much off piste skiing.
