The ski area has not changed much over the years. It is a single center. No one gets up early, meals are social events, dinner is late. There are no queues for the ski lift up, not many people skiing in the powder. Life is comfortable and lends itself to making new friends. There are twelve lifts, including five chair lifts but Va et vient, designed by Jean Pomagalski in the 60 to allow access to the high courts of the Roca Jack and Condor, there are still defying the experts and providing access to a great powder snow skiing in open court and countless very steep narrow steps.

There is no nearby town which means that Portillo is self-sufficient, such as a cruise on the top of the Cordillera de los Andes.
