BARILOCHE
located in the heart of Argentina's Patagonia, is the gateway to the ski area "Gran Catedral". A short 8 miles away, the resort offers frequent service to and from town. No other Argentinean ski area can match Bariloche in nightlife, dining, cinemas, theater, or its eight discos and a casino.
The first of four chairlifts swings skiers up from the base of station at 3,200 feet to the Plateau, which sits at 4,000 feet. More challenging skiing lies above, with a summit known as the Piedra del Condor, or Stone of the Condor. Here there are wide-open snow fields and long gullies, all above the timberline, where the snow is most reliable. Bariloche offers ski-able terrain for all levels of ability. An expansion program is currently taking place to substantially increase the 20,000 person, per hour uphill capacity by replacing many of the drag lifts with modern chairlifts.
