Mountain chalets near Corralco ski resort

It´s clear that the concept of the mountain chalet differs from a cabin or other holiday accommodation built in lower altitudes. The design of a mountain chalet needs to be focussed on resisting the elements, wind, rain, snow and ice.

In the Araucanían region of the Andes mountains of Chile in a small town called Malalcahuello, one can find some quality mountain chalets designed for the skiing public that visits the Corralco ski centre during the July school holidays.

Renting a mountain chalet near Corralco, Volcano Lonquimay

Generally the price of the chalet and its location in relation to Corralco are a good guide as to the quality of construction and the facilities offered. The lower the price, the lower the comfort and quality, usually. If you are looking at a bargain price then perhaps expect to have problems with water freezing over, lack of wifi/cell phone connection and perhaps feel more than a little cold at night.

Perhaps when you come to visit Malalcahuello, it will serve you well to consider that in spite of Chile being a developed country on the rise, life in rural areas is generally less well serviced so building and maintaining machinery is more difficult than living in a city. If you come prepared and informed, you will have little difficulty finding an appropriate chalet to rent.
