Where there are mountains like the Andes, there can't help but have a wonderful winter vacation. And the ski resorts of Argentina quite meet this statement. The ski season in the Argentine Andes lasts from May to September. Among the ski resorts of Argentina the most popular is San Carlos de Bariloche, located in Patagonia in the Nahuel Huapi National Park on the shore of the lake of the same name. The ski base is 1,000 meters high, and the elevation difference on the pistes varies from 1,400 to 2,388 meters. There is a six-seat cabin elevator, which is considered the best in the whole of South America.
Ski tours to Argentina are becoming more popular every year. For example, there is the southernmost ski resort in the world, Cerro Castor, which is suitable for skiers of any level of fitness. The oldest resort is considered to be La Joya, which is located in the Los Alerces National Park. Now it is known for its free-ride places. For lovers of flat slopes and snowboarding, the resort of Cerro Bayo is suitable.
Cerro Catedral is also popular among the ski resorts of Argentina, which neighbors with the Nahuel Huapi National Park, where skiers go on excursions with pleasure. There are 53 pistes, most of which are for amateurs. The snow here is excellent both at the beginning and at the end of the season, thanks to powerful snow cannons. The resort has 40 modern elevators of all types.
Las Leñas is a well-known destination for virgin skiing. For those who are not ready to ride on untouched snow, there are 30 slopes of different levels of difficulty served by 13 elevators. The height of the resort is 2240 meters.
Ski Argentina suits everyone who wants to save money. Prices for accommodation there, for example, range from 150 to 500 ARS. And tours there are not too expensive, you can find options (excluding the amount of the flight) for 1000 USD (that's about 10 000 ARS). This is much cheaper than a vacation at fashionable European resorts, and in the end you get acquainted with a completely new country. On the other hand, the flight here is still quite expensive, and this is worth bearing in mind.
