Exclusively Yours.
All-Inclusive Backcountry Ski Immersion · Araucanía, Chilean Andes. Aug-Sept 2026.
"Five Days. Four Guests.
One Mountain."
Nawel Andes is not a tour. It is an All-Inclusive Private Immersion among active volcanoes and Araucaria forests. Lodge, chef, guide, transport, wine — everything is covered for five nights. We trade lift lines for ancient trees, and resort restaurants for fireside asados.
"We don't count vertical. We count moments."
The Skiing
Human-powered access to volcanic bowls and Araucaria forest — ancestral land of the Mapuche people. We earn our turns in silence — through storm-proof forests, our local guide knows the terrain and snowpack, He picks the skin track; you enjoy the descent.
The Lodge
Mapuche-inspired cuisine meets Chilean Patagonia comfort. Carmenere by the fireplace, slow evenings with real conversation. The lodge is entirely yours — asado, hot tub, pisco sour, volcano views in every window.
The Format
With limited guest numbers, privacy and intuitive hospitality at every turn, each unique detail allows guests to truly connect with their group and the mountain. This is an all-inclusive exclusive buyout: no decisions to make, no extras to think about. We are your ambassadors in the Araucania. You set the pace; we make it happen.
Every Detail. Included.
This is not a ski trip with hotel nights. Every element — on the mountain and off it — is designed, curated, and covered.
Corralco Sidecountry.
One full day at Corralco Mountain Resort — lift access included. Shake the skiing legs, trek the sidecountry lines or venture to the summit with your guides, then drop back into the resort. Lift tickets, cafeteria lunch, and dinner included.
Hot Tub. Volcano View.
After a full ski day, you return to hot tub already running.
Corralco Resort Spa.
On storm days or rest days, we take you to Corralco's spa or Hotel Termas Manzanar. Twelve kilometres from the lodge. Entry included. A full reset before the next summit.
Fireside Asado.
Our Chef opens the week with a four-course dinner and closes it with a traditional asado. In between: three selected restaurant evenings in Malalcahuello village. All covered.
Pehuenche Ruka.
After skiing the lines at Los Arenales, we walk into a traditional Pehuenche Ruka — fire burning, sopaipillas de piñón on the fireplace. Shared with the community.
Private 4x4 Sprinter.
Our driver picks you up from Temuco ZCO in a fully-equipped 4x4 Sprinter — climate controlled, heavy-duty rack, integrated winch for winter reliability. Stays with us all week: trailheads, hot springs, village dinners. Always with you.

In Partnership With
Born in Nahuelbuta
Nawel is the Mapudungun word for the Jaguar — the spirit guardian of the mountains in Mapuche cosmology.
We grew up in Nahuelbuta — the coastal range of the Araucanía, where Mapuche culture has lived for millennia. That mountain identity is who we are. We founded a Mountain Club there, and we brought that spirit to the Andes.
Every immersion carries that origin forward. The terrain shapes the day. The community shapes the purpose.
We don't just operate in the Andes.
We come from them.
Ski with Purpose.
In Rio de Janeiro, our founder spent three months volunteering with Mundo Novo — working with kids in the communities and seeing firsthand how outdoor experiences can change lives. He brought that conviction home to the Araucanía. Today, $100 of every booking funds the Youth Mountain Program: giving Mapuche and local kids the technical skills and access they need to find opportunity in their own ancestral mountains, rather than having to leave them.
"Camilo came to Rio with nothing but a backpack and a dream to connect with communities. What he built with Nawel Andes is proof that adventure and volunteering can share the same path."
