Mountain profile
Reference figures. Open pistes and lifts vary with snow, weather and operations.
The mountain
The ski area combines learning and progression runs with higher terrain and separate experiences such as catskiing. The operator reports the prepared ski area separately from special outings.
The ski pass can offer good value, but lifts may be slow and facilities remain modest compared with Argentina's more established resorts. Investment is ongoing; check current operations and prices before planning ski days.
Where to stay
At the base, these are small mountain lodging options: the refuge has shared rooms, while the lodge, opened in 2024, offers private rooms. There is no fully developed hotel village at the slopes.

Bariloche is usually the main air gateway. Allow around two hours to the ski area, depending on your starting point, road and weather; El Bolsón is about 25 km from the resort, with part of the access road unpaved. For a day trip from Bariloche, allow for the return drive as well.
Decide early whether the priority is learning, skiing groomed runs or exploring the region. That choice guides the number of nights and lodging.
