SKI IN PATAGONIA

SKI SPECIALSBARILOCHE

CERRO CATEDRAL This mountain is located 12 mi / 19 km from San Carlos de Bariloche, within the Nahuel Huapi National Park, in the Argentine Patagonia. It holds an impressive ski center with more than 120 km of slopes and 600 h to ski, 36 ski lifts and the most complete mountain base.

SKI WITH LOCALSSkiing comfortably and enjoying the journey. This is a premium service for those skiers who want to get the best of the mountain; its dynamics are suitable for families, groups of friends or kids, as for individual riders or skiers.

SNOW GOURMETThis original concept combines adventure with the fantastic world of wine and flavors. The experience start at the base of the Ski Center with a gear checking and a brief presentation, the cable car will take us to the highest point of the mountain. We will slide around isolated runs with panoramic views, where we will enjoy, surrounded by the incomparable beauty of nature, different grape varieties and gourmet food flavors. We will float over the snow using snowshoes and walk through the lenga (beech tree) forest reaching a spot that, because of its amazing view, it will entice us to stay. This is the chosen preamble for a complete wakening of the senses: being surprised with wines and gourmet delicacies. On skis, for those who love to spend special moments, we offer altitude gourmet meals combining the magic of nature with situations specially created for enjoyment.

SNOWSHOESThe adventure begins picking passengers at up at the hotel. The ride is already part of the excursion, since we drive 12 km. up a mountain road; which unveils endless valleys, mountains and rivers exposing the beauties of the Andes. Once we arrive to our spot, the guide will help us step into our snowshoes and set off for a walk that will take us a few hours to complete, during which we will live unique experiences: the snow itself providing us with an unusual setting and the landscapes surprising us with every step we take. Every wood we cross opens up to different settings, each one more overwhelming than the other with the emblematic Cerro Catedral and the Andes Mountain range constantly in the backdrop. The image of snow-capped trees decorated with green lichens that hang from the 20-mt + tall Lenga trees will make us dazzle at the wonderful work carried out by nature in a spot untouched by men.

We will make several stops along the way to enjoy the silence and the landscapes, and why not, play around in the snow! While we stroll through these virgin terrains, the guide will let us in on the different plant and animal species, its geological history and tips on the different Mapuche communities who live in the area. Snowshoeing is a unique opportunity to try and do something out of the ordinary, and particularly, to live an experience that not many people have lived before.

HELI-SKIFlying over the Andes and skiing them is a combination for only a few. A day with a drop in height of about 5,000 meters (3 miles) on powder snow is an experience you cant miss. We combine safety with technology and nature. Only suitable for expert skiers/snowboarders. Heli-ski is without a doubt a program of distinction and an adventure.
