SkiingFrom January through May, you can ski on the glacier at Chacaltaya, one of the highest ski slopes in the world. Club Andino, Calle México 1638 (tel. 0102/2312-875), is in charge of arranging ski outings; it's open Monday through Friday from 9:30am to 12:30pm and 3 to 7pm. Trips leave only on Wednesdays and Saturdays, but if you have a group of four or more people, you can swish down the slope any day you want. Transportation costs $10 per person, equipment rental is $10, and you have to pay $7 for the lift ticket. Dress warmly (although at this altitude the sun is brutal) and make sure that you have acclimated to the altitude -- there's not much air at 5,156m (16,912 ft.). Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
