Geography of El Colorado – Ski Resort
El Colorado is a red, cone-shaped mountain with south-facing slopes.
It is bordered on the south by Farellones village, on the west by La Parva, on the north by Valle Nevado, and on the east by a long cliff-band that stretches from Cono Este to the base of the Embudo lift.
The western slopes that face La Parva are exposed to the prevailing winds and are thus undeveloped and usually rocky.
The deepest snow is found in the Cono Este area which lies in the lee of the mountain.
Excellent views of the surrounding ski areas and Santiago’s smog blanket can be enjoyed from the upper slopes.
