The pool… quiet.
The Bajo Zero chalet and
the Andes Express lift
Valle Nevado’s End
of the Road — hotel magic.
Glacier El Plomo (17,814 feet) .
Valle Nevado Resort sits high in the heart of the Andes. It has three
hotels: one for dudes (Tres Puntas), one for sports (Puerta del Sol)
and one for high-rollers (Hotel Valle Nevado). The rooms are comfortable
but standard and all offer stunning views, but it’s the food
that is absolutely spectacular. The culinary arts make you feel
you’re in Italy. The wines make you feel you’re in France. Even the
name of the best of the fi ve on-site restaurants — La Fourchette
d’Or — can Parisinify you. But the fresh salmon, the unique Carmenere
wines and the warmth of the Spanish language remind you
where you are. And how glad you are to be here.
