These hours apply every day of the week, including weekends and public holidays, and will remain in effect until further notice.
The road will be closed to all vehicles between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM to allow snow and ice removal operations using specialized equipment.
Mandatory Chain Requirement
Snow chains must be in good condition and the correct size for the vehicle. Carrying chains is mandatory whenever SENAPRED has declared a Preventive Early Warning.
The Municipality of Lo Barnechea and Carabineros de Chile will designate the authorized areas for installing snow chains.
Installing chains outside the designated areas or continuing uphill without them when their use has been declared mandatory is not permitted. Failure to comply may result in Carabineros de Chile or the Municipality of Lo Barnechea restricting access to the road or to Valle Nevado.
The circulation of buses and minibuses longer than 10 meters (32.8 ft) is prohibited.
Before heading up the mountain, always check the Mountain Report for the latest updates on road conditions, ski runs, and lift operations.
The Prado, Gondola, Carousel, Vaivén, Mirador, Candonga, Andes Express, Ballicas, and Embalse lifts are currently open.
We continue working to progressively open additional lifts and ski runs.
Due to the recent snowfall, some ski runs have accumulated snow.
