The Ski Resorts
Resorts open from mid-June to October with La Hoya in Patagonia, outside of the town of Esquel often staying open until late October due to cold temperatures and dry Andean powder.
In addition to
PowderQuest's popular guided ski and snowboard tours giving you the chance to experience several Argentina ski areas with certified guides,
PowderQuest specializes in custom ski vacation packages to the best resorts including
Las Lenas,
Chapelco, and
Alta Patagonia Catedral in
Bariloche. Don't rule out
Ushuaia, home to Cerro Castor ski resort Argentina, and the southern most ski mountains in Argentina and the world. All of these ski areas should be tied into a few days visit to Buenos Aires, the country's capital.
What are the best Argentina ski resorts?
An official ranking of ski resorts in Argentina ("The best ski resort in Argentina") would be tough, as they all offer quality skiing and lodging. Las Lenas tends to be highest on the foreign skier and snowboarders wish list for the best place to ski in Argentina, especially for advanced and experts due to the resorts steep terrain, dry powder snow and endless out-of-bounds and backcountry options.
Bariloche ski resort, Alta Patagonia
Catedral is high on the list.
Catedral is hard to beat. Great terrain for beginners to experts, fun tree skiing, epic views of surrounding national park,
Nahuel Huappi, and a city filled with amazing restaurants, culture and nightlife.
Looking for something a bit more low key?
La Hoya is a miniature Las
Lenas with it comes to steep skiing while
Chapelco ski resort is great for families, and friends looking for a taste of the good Patagonia lifestyle. The back side if
Chapelco is for advanced and experts.
A ski resort in Argentina that receives little foreign traffic also has become on of our favorites due to awesome backcountry access;
Cerro Bayo. The small boutique ski resort offers good intermediate to advanced skiing, including great tree runs and open bowls. The real gem is a short 15 minute hike to a flat ridge line where you can access some truly amazing side country or head off deeper into the expansive backcountry terrain.
Argentina offers something for all tastes. For the steep ski powder junkie to families with a mix of all levels looking for a great summer ski vacation,
