With plenty of hotels in Santiago near famous ski areas, Chile offers a number of delightful accommodations to choice from.

That means no crowds!

Indeed, nearly any budget ski lodging you choose in Chile will not only be authentic, but it will be spacious and uncrowded. It'll be a taste of solitude and tranquility in the most beautiful mountains in the world. You'll undoubtedly want to plan your experience around the mountain and ski resort. The premier spots are the Portillo, La Larva, Valle Nevado and Termas de Chillan.

One example of a fantastic ski lodging in Chile is the Portillo Hotel. It includes full services and a view of the emerald green Inca lagoon. If you're an adventurer or backpacker who needs a clean, cozy, cheap alternative, stay in the Refugio El Inca. Bunk beds and a bathroom will accommodate four people.

You're welcome to either dine in the hotel diner or frequent the Portillo Hotel for exquisite meals or services. A slightly more spacious, inexpensive option is the Refugio Octogono, which also has a bunk bed set up. It is located 50 steps from the Portillo Hotel, which you're also encouraged to utilize.

La Parva ski resort is arguably the best ski center among boarders. After a full day of bombing around solo on the slopes, ski back to your warm condominium. Nueva Parva Condominium offers 38 apartments for 6-8 people. You'll be right in front of the ski trails. If you've got a family eager for perfect snow, the Apart Hotel Refugio KL Adventure La Parva welcomes you all into its warm abodes.

The Valle Nevado ski center offers the most lodging options. For the services of a splashy resort but the feeling of a snuggly inn, come to the exclusive Valle Nevado Hotel. With 53 guestrooms and its own ski shop, you'll have your own terrace to watch your kids ski right to the hotel. With a buzzing nightlife, you'll be guaranteed excitement from a discotheque to a cinema.

Termas de Chillan is for those daring enough to pass up the Andean hype in the central zone…for EL SUR. With waist deep powder everyday, only the bold and restless come to ski the 8 mile run and extreme backcountry terrain.

The Gran Hotel Termas de Chillan offers 120 rooms, and every modern service from restaurants to a gym/squash courts to day care and a swimming pool. Thrifty folks will find the Robledal Hotel lovely, as it is surrounded by an oak forest. With only 20 rooms, your stay will be an intimate and quiet as your surroundings.

For the rugged backpackers and ski/snowboarding extremists, the Refugio Aleman-Ski Hostel is the best hostel in all of Chile. Only 45 minutes from Santiago, you're in the perfect location.
