Skiing in Pucon revolves around the Villarrica Volcano, making it one of the few places in the world where you can ski on an active volcano. Prior to the 2015 volcanic eruption, the resort boasted about 10 major runs, served by a number of ski lifts as well as several natural half pipes; however, the slopes were never opened in 2015 and it is unclear when the resort will once more function at full capacity. When the ski slopes are open, facilities for ski and snowboard equipment hire and a ski school are usually available. Apart from the off-piste options the resort is simple and the slopes are best suited to beginners and intermediates. The views from the slopes are sublime.
