Description
Cerro Catedral is the largest ski resort in the Southern Hemisphere, with 1,200 skiable hectares and a wide range of service infrastructure. It is open year-round (except during May) and features 27 lift systems — chairlifts, gondolas and surface lifts — with the capacity to transport up to 35,000 people per hour.
Throughout the mountain you will find lodges set on its impressive slopes, with incredible views of Lakes Nahuel Huapi and Gutiérrez, the Andes mountain range, Cerro Tronador and the surrounding peaks.
The route is fully paved: 20 km from downtown Bariloche and 25 km departing from the Llao Llao Hotel.
Lifts for pedestrians: Amancay, Diente de Caballo (with prior connection via Amancay) and Cable Carril. Dining options: La Roca Lodge, via Amancay, and Punta Princesa Lodge, via Diente de Caballo.
It is ideal for discovering one of Bariloche's icons, in winter as much as in summer, enjoying the mountain and its remarkable landscapes.
