Words simply cannot describe some of the terrain Las Lenas Ski Resort, Argentina has to offer!
The incredible part is the Las Lenas Marte chairlift, servicing terrain your Mama would ground you for riding. From the steep bowl directly under the Marte chairlift, to Eduardo's 48-degree Couloir, and literally hundreds of chutes 40-50 degree plus, some people have said they would give up every chairlift in South America, for the Las Lenas Marte!
Throw in the Las Lenas Ski Resort snowcat tours, and easy touring access, you are in paradise for steep terrain junkies looking for the ultimate Andean buzz thriller.
If you still have legs after a day on the mountain, Argentina's famous late night bar and disco scene live strong here in the Las Lenas Valley. It is not uncommon to see folks pouring out of the discotheque as you are about to make your first powder turns of the day! This leaves Las Lenas literally crowd free for hours.
Las Lenas is indeed an unreal experience, including the comfortable Piscis and Escorpio hotels and we get you there for a solid week of some of the best alpine terrain, extreme skiing, and powder on Earth! Viva Las Lenas!
