ABOUT US

South America has been quietly offering some of skiing's great experiences for generations. It starts with the mountains. But it never ends there.

A glacial lake that barely looks real. Powder runs shared with Olympic training squads. Asado by firelight in Patagonia. Malbec at altitude. Condors overhead. South America offers skiing with character, depth and a sense of discovery that many travellers spend years searching for.

South America has some of the most unique ski experiences. Ski South America is designed for Australians looking for something beyond the usual ski trip. Come discover the Andes.

We're a dedicated platform built to connect Australian skiers and riders with the Andes, Patagonia and beyond — the resorts, the culture, the food, the language, the experience that exists nowhere else on earth. This isn't just a ski holiday. It's a ski holiday in one of the world's most extraordinary regions, with everything that comes with it.

Portillo. Valle Nevado. Las Leñas. Cerro Catedral.

The resorts are unique. The season runs June to September, so you can do both hemispheres. And the powder, the intimacy, and the culture? That's the part nobody tells you about until you've been.

But what makes it truly different is what comes next. Only in South America can a ski trip lead to deserts, rainforests, ancient wonders and world cities. Pair the slopes with the Atacama Desert, Machu Picchu, Rio de Janeiro, Patagonia or beyond.

Ski South America is a platform powered by Alma Travel Co, Australia's specialist in Latin American journeys. Alma builds platforms that connect Australian passion communities to Latin America. Alma brings the industry accreditation, the resort partnerships, the local expertise, and a team who has genuinely lived the experience they're selling.
