This Argentina snowboard and ski tour is a multi-destination freeride journey from Patagonia to Ushuaia. In collaboration with Altitude Snow, this session blends iconic terrain, cultural experience, and small-group guidance into one of the most complete progression trips we offer.
Bariloche / Cerro Catedral
The adventure begins in Bariloche, set in Patagonia’s stunning Lakes Region, where we step into the vast terrain of Cerro Catedral. One of South America’s largest and most dynamic mountains, Catedral offers steep faces, expansive freeride zones, and endless opportunities to explore. With a 1:3 guide-to-rider ratio, you’ll be led beyond the obvious—building confidence in bigger terrain, refining line choice, and learning to move with intention as you settle into the rhythm of the mountains.
Buenos Aires
From there, we trade alpine air for city energy with a stop in Buenos Aires. Located in the heart of downtown, our stay places you in the middle of Argentina’s culture, world-class food, and vibrant streets. This is your time to reset, recharge, and experience a different side of the journey before heading deeper south.
Ushuaia / Cerro Castor
The final chapter takes us to Ushuaia—the southernmost city in the world—where the experience shifts once again. Riding at Cerro Castor offers a more intimate mountain environment, shaped by maritime snow and ever-changing weather. This is terrain that rewards adaptability and awareness. If conditions allow, we’ll step beyond the resort boundary for a backcountry touring day, earning turns in one of the most remote landscapes on Earth.
The Experience
Off the mountain, the experience continues. From fresh Patagonian flavors to Argentina’s renowned cuisine, each meal becomes part of the journey. You’ll stay in a curated mix of premium accommodations—comfortable, elevated lodging with water views in Bariloche and Ushuaia, and a centrally located hotel in Buenos Aires—giving you space to relax, recover, and take it all in.
