Catedral Alta Patagonia

Big mountains, world class skiing and an exceptional all round ski holiday experience is awaiting you at Catedral Alta Patagonia, Bariloche's world famous ski resort.

The massive expansion program at Catedral Alta Patagonia outside Bariloche has tripled the lift capacity,  with a new gondola, express quad, quad, triple and 2 double chairs the highlights. New terrain for all levels has been opened up, including spectacular chutes and powder bowls in the La Laguna area. The resort now has more lift capacity than the rest of Argentina put together, so you can avoid queues all season when you stay on mountain.

All this adds up to by far the best lift network in South America with;

  • 40 lifts
  • Huge terrain choice - & 1,130m vertical
  • Over 100km of marked trails - Plenty of wide open cruisers - tree runs - gullies - chutes.... more than enough to keep everybody happy
  • Spectacular views
  • Numerous mountain restaurants
  • Great shopping

Looking for value for money - here is the place. Fantastic snow and wide open terrain. Plenty of lifts but normal crowds. Consider ski-ing in Argentina. You will have a ball without the high price of Australian ski resorts and North American. Travelplan organised a great ski package and we were met and greeted with a local representative of Travelplan. Thank you to Leah Scott for a wonderful holiday.  Weather was fantastic while we were there in late August/early September. Almost tee shirt weather.
