Located on the slopes of one of the most well-studied volcanoes
in South America, the Ski Pucon Ski Center offers its visitors
more than just a place to ski: it also offers the opportunity to
discover and enjoy one of the most beautiful zones of our country.
This allows visitors to enjoy many other activities which will
complement their skiing and see more of this unforgettable area.
The center is inside the borders of the Villarrica National Park
and from the slopes of the volcano you can observe five beautiful
lakes as well as enjoy thermal baths and the nightlife in the nearby
cities of Pucon and Villarrica. Managed by the Gran Hotel

between the different grades of slopes, making it easy to move between
slopes. The center offers various services to complement your skiing
