Rain in Concepción brings snow to the Cordillera de Los Andes.

There are two skiing ressorts in the BioBio Region, Nevados de Chillán, near Concepción, and Antuco, on the volcano with the same name, near Los Angeles. Nevados de Chillán counts on around half a dozen lifts, Antuco has about three to four T-bars.

It is said the Andes of the Bio Bio Region receive the best powder snow on the southern hemisphere.

To get to Nevados de Chillán skiing ressort, starting from Concepción, just take the Autopista del Itata, then pass through Chillán and head to Las Trancas, a village only five kilometers before the skiing ressort. Be sure you have chains or, at least, a four wheel drive as these five kilometers might be icy.
