Teleférico
A 2000m-long teleférico runs east from Estación Cumbre. The first stop is Estación Tupahue, around which are clustered the Jardín Botánico Mapulemu, a botanical garden, as well as two huge public swimming pools, the Piscina Tupahue and Piscina Antilén. The cable car continues to Estación Oasis, at the north end of Av Pedro de Valdivia in Providencia (about 10 minutes’ walk from Pedro de Valdivia metro station). The small but perfectly landscaped Jardín Japonés is 400m east. There are snack stands near the cable-car stations, but Cerro San Cristóbal is also a prime picnicking spot.

La Parva
The most exclusive of Santiago’s ski resorts, La Parva is definitely oriented towards posh families rather than the powder-and-party pack. Private cottages and condos make up ski base Villa La Parva, from where 14 lifts take you to its 30 runs, the highest of which starts at 3630m above sea level. Snow permitting, there’s plenty of off-piste skiing here, too. The ski between La Parva and Valle Nevado or Farellones (via Valle Olímpico) is also a favorite among more experienced skiers.

Valle Nevado
About 12km of unpaved road takes you from Farellones to Valle Nevado. Modeled on European setups, it’s the best-maintained of Santiago’s resorts and has the most challenging runs. A magic carpet and ample beginner runs make it good for kids, too. Seven drag lifts and four chairs take you to the 27 pistes’ high-altitude start points, which range from 2860m to 3670m. Adrenaline levels also run high here: there’s a snow park, good off-piste action, and heli-skiing.

Lagunillas
The cheapest skiing to be had near Santiago is at Lagunillas, a small resort 67km southeast of Santiago via San José de Maipo. Run by the Club Andino de Chile, it has four lifts and 13 runs; note that though the scenery is stunning, the snow here is generally not as good as at Santiago’s more exclusive resorts. The Club Andino runs a few small cabins here, but it’s an easy day trip from Santiago.

Backpackers Store
Head up Barrio Bellavista's Pío Nono and then wind your way up the Cerro San Cristóbal hill. It's best to get there early as half of Santiago seems to come here on a sunny weekend; but there are plenty of opportunities to get off the main thoroughfare - the park is a vast rambling space with many corners to discover. For bike hire, go to the Backpackers Store.
