About This Area

How Far Is Valle Nevado from Santiago?

Drive time: About 90 minutes from Santiago in good conditions
Without a car: Resort shuttles run from the city in ski season
Winter tip: Chains commonly required for the final stretch
Worth it: Staying overnight if visiting for more than one day

Getting there

Valle Nevado is about 90 minutes from Santiago by car in good conditions, longer in heavy winter traffic or snow, and the resort runs its own shuttle service from the city in ski season. Chains are commonly required for the final stretch of road, so many visitors choose an organized transfer over driving themselves. Staying overnight avoids the round-trip drive entirely and is worth it for more than a single ski day.
