Frequently Asked Questions

Farellones is the original mountain village of the Santiago Andes, founded in the 1930s, and the gateway to the El Colorado ski area. It's known for its family-friendly snow park, wooden lodges, and the most accessible taste of the high mountains from the city.

Farellones Park offers tubing, sledding, ziplines, and beginner snow activities in winter, making it the best choice for families and first-timers who just want to play in the snow. In summer the village becomes a base for hiking and mountain biking with sweeping views over Santiago.

July and August are the heart of the snow season, with the most reliable cover and the fullest schedule of activities. June and September can be excellent with fewer crowds. For hiking and views without snow gear, the summer months of December to March are ideal.
