BOLIVIA
Cordillera Real | Ski mountaineering 6000m
Join us in Bolivia this coming May to ski a 6,000m peak in a week (*optional extra week for a second peak)
Cordillera Real has it all for intermediate and higher levels of backcountry skiers and snowboarders. We choose the boreal Spring season for ease of access to base camps with horses (and porters), and for snow stability and great variety of choice in ski objectives.
Huayna Potosi (6,008m), Condoriri (5,648m), Illimani (6,580m), Mururata (5,860m), Ancohuma (6,427m), Chachacomani (6,074m) are our favourite peaks to ski in the area. Reach out to us to discuss your goals and we will help to select the right ski objective for your trip.
