Portillo - World Snowboard Guide

Navigation

Portillo is a world renowned American run resort located at the foot of Aconcagua. Its high elevation provides it with plenty of dry snow making for good powder. 12 lifts access some 22 pistes and an abundance of steep off piste faces. Heli operations will take those with flexible enough plastic to higher elevations and descents.
