Chapa Verde
With a name meaning 'Green Grass' in Spanish, and being formerly a private ski club for the managers of the local copper mine (one of the world's largest) Chapa Verde may not initially appeal to die hard skiers. They'd be wise to look further however, as the centre offers classic expert off-piste ski terrain as well as trails for all standards, and spectacular views across the Andes. The resort installed a new triple chair and went public in the early '90s. It now exciting development plans, separated off from the mine.
