More Information
Details: The pioneers of skiing in Chile were the engineers who constructed the vast Trans-Andean Railway. Mostly Englishmen, they used skis both in their work and to explore the beautiful Andes mountains. Following the inauguration of the railroad in 1910, these pioneers were joined by recreational skiers who used the train as a ski lift between Caracoles and Juncal, part of the present day Portillo Ski Resort.
