The road to Portillo is also the International Highway that links Santiago, Chile, with Mendoza, Argentina. The highway is maintained by the Chilean Ministry of Public Works, who is responsible for road maintenance and cleaning following snowstorms or other events.
Portillo Ski Resort is not responsible for the condition of the road.

Guests may choose to transfer the credit to their extra services account (ski lessons, bar bills, etc.), use the credit toward a future reservation, or proceed for reimbursement through their respective agency.

Guests who are unable to leave Portillo because the road is closed and must spend an additional night in the resort will be charged the full rate for the first night's accommodation. If there should be a second night a 50% discount is applied to the normal rate. Portillo operates with natural and man-made snow, which allows for the consistent operation of the ski area once it is open.
