In-Depth Information
from beginner to expert, all in breathtaking
surroundings. All offer equipment rental,
instruction, and medical attention.
Las Leñas
is the most luxurious, featuring four- and five-
star accommodations, fine dining and plenty of
après ski activities, including tennis, swim-
ming (in a heated indoor pool), a casino and
discoteque.
Cerro Catedral
, just outside
Bariloche, though smaller and not quite as lux-
urious, is a similar choice.
Cerro Chapelco
and the somewhat more isolated and smaller
La Hoya
are especially fine choices for begin-
ning and intermediate downhill skiers as well
as cross-country enthusiasts.
Ski packages can be arranged through travel
agents in Buenos Aires. You can also contact or
visit the Provincial Tourist Offices for more
information.
