Bariloche

Argentina

More than 80 years ago, Cerro Catedral was established as an icon of the city of Bariloche. The most famous ski resort in Argentina is very popular!  Besides the slopes for all levels of difficulty and a huge ski area, the beauty of the region transforms every moment into a unique experience. At the foot of the Cerro Catedral mountain and on the shores of the stunning Nahuel Huapi lake are all the services a visitor could need: hotels, restaurants, stores, a small gallery and even a mall. That’s why the city gets so busy when the temperatures drop – find Calle Mitre and figure out where you want to end the day.
