In the months of June to September come to Argentina for world-class skiing. All the resorts are located in the western part of Argentina, close to the Andes Mountains. Travelling to one of these ski resorts requires a 2 or 3 hour flight from Buenos Aires and then ground transportation to the slopes. Argentina has 2 big downhill resorts: Cerro Catedral, Bariloche and Las Lenas, Mendoza. Argentina also has almost a dozen other resorts of smaller magnitude. A few hours away from Bariloche by car there is Cerro Chapelco, a wonderful mountain for forest skiing, challanging steep chutes, and off-piste touring.

Snowboarding in Argentina has become very popular over the past several years. All resorts welcome riders, and the sport has caught on in Argentina as strongly as in North America and Europe.

Select the resort you are interested in below for a full guide to the mountain including all the vital skiing information and whatever else you can expect when you get to the slopes.
