ski resort located about 50 km (31 miles) northeast of theChilean capital of Santiago. It is in the middle ridge of the "3 Valleys" resorts that also includesEl Colorado andValle Nevado . [ [http://southamericaski.com/view.asp?p=571 SouthAmericaSki.com site with information regarding La Parva] ]La Parva is frequented by upscale Santiago residents, many of whom own private condos here. Given that La Parva is closer to Santiago than Valle Nevado, this is an excellent day ski resort, and there are plenty of groomed and off-piste runs for all abilities. Fourteen lifts access 30 square kilometers of skiable terrain. The ski area climbs a long ridge, like Aspen Highlands. Adventure skiers love La Parva’s steep chute at La Chimenea, Cerro and La Cara, a steep south facing wall. [ [http://www.onthesnow.com/CL-CL/755 OnTheSnow.com Overview page for La Parva, Chile] ]
