What riders say after living Braap

Riders and families who climbed Villarrica with us. The verdict after a day of untouched snow and adrenaline.

★★★★★
We rode up to a flawless zone of untouched snow, far from the ski-resort lines. Andrés goes all-in to find the best lines of the day. Best freeride day I have had in Chile.

The meal up on the volcano and the closing cocktail were the perfect finish to the Full Day. Andrés knows the volcano like no one else, and everything felt very safe.
