Ushuaia

Argentina

The Southern-most city on the planet is also home to the most beautiful ski resort in Ushuaia, Argentina. Cerro Castor is about 16 miles from Ushuaia and is the ideal destination for skiers who appreciate beautiful views, modern slopes, and fresh powder snow, which is abundant in this region. Privileged because of its location in the Southermost tip of the world and georaphy, the Ushuaia ski hub challenges all levels of skiers. The ski season in Ushuaia is one longest ski seasons in South America, running from June to October. You can also explore exuberant nature in the Tierra del Fuego (Land of Fire) by experiencing dog-sleigh rides, snowshoe walks, and cruises where you’ll find penguins and sea lions, frequent visitors to the region.
