Cerro Catedral

In the morning, we’ll pick you up from the designated meeting points in Bariloche and begin our scenic journey to Cerro Catedral, the most renowned ski resort in Latin America. After a 45-minute drive along the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi, we’ll arrive at the base of this iconic mountain.

Upon arrival, you'll meet your professional instructors, and we’ll split into groups based on your choice of skiing or snowboarding. For the next two hours, our instructors will guide you through the basics—how to use the equipment, stay safe, and most importantly, have fun. No prior experience is needed; just bring your enthusiasm and get ready for an adrenaline-filled morning on the snow!

After the lesson, we’ll break for lunch at one of the cozy restaurants on the mountain (lunch not included). Warm up and refuel while taking in panoramic views of the snowy landscape.

In the afternoon, you’ll have free time to explore at your own pace. You can visit the shops at the base of the hill, take in the breathtaking views, stop by the mountain shelter, and of course, treat yourself to Bariloche’s famous artisanal chocolates.

As the day comes to an end, we’ll regroup at the base and begin our return to Bariloche—carrying with us the unforgettable memories of a day spent in the heart of Patagonian winter magic.
