You arrive on a crisp mountain morning and the Andes open up around you — dry grasses rattling, wind nudging you uphill, and a chairlift humming like a measured exhale. Farellones Park sits above Santiago at roughly 2,340 meters, a compact adventure zone that puts canopy lines, sled tracks and panoramic lifts within easy reach of the city.

History
Farellones developed as a mountain escape for Santiago in the 20th century and grew alongside nearby ski infrastructure; the park continues the region’s recreational legacy by packaging multiple alpine activities into a day visit.
Conservation
Visitors should stick to designated paths and dispose of waste in provided bins; the fragile high‑Andean vegetation recovers slowly from trampling, so leave no trace where possible.

Acclimate before you go
Spend a few hours in Santiago or take time at the park’s lower elevation to reduce mild altitude effects; hydrate well before activities.
Protect from sun and wind
High‑altitude sun is strong—bring broad‑brim hat, SPF 30+ sunscreen and windproof outer layer for chairlift exposure.
Footwear for mixed terrain
Closed-toe hiking shoes or trail sneakers give grip on rocky walkways between attractions and cold metal surfaces on lifts.
Book morning departures
Early departures offer clearer air and steadier weather for panoramic views and fuller use of the park before afternoon wind picks up.
Sunhat & sunscreen
High elevation increases UV exposure—protect skin and eyes during chairlift and open runs.
summer
Windproof jacket
Even sunny days can be chilly at 2,300+ meters; a light shell blocks wind on lifts.
spring
Closed-toe shoes
Traction and toe protection for short walks between rides and on sled platforms.
Reusable water bottle
Hydration helps with altitude and keeps energy up during a long day of activities.
