Skiing in Argentina: Your Travel Guide to the Best Backcountry Adventures


We'll show you how to make your ideal Argentina ski vacation become a reality, from the best Argentina ski resorts to our top picks for Patagonia backcountry locations.


We've compiled our insider expertise from more than 20 years of skiing in Argentina to help you find the best time to go, how to get there, links to the finest ski and snowboard excursions, and much more.


Why Ski Argentina ?


Argentina is well-known for Buenos Aires, which is sometimes referred to as the "Paris of South America," its tango, futbol, malbec wine, and its lively culture. However, one of the greatest ski locations in the world is located outside of cities and vineyards.


Argentina has some of the most amazing terrain and dry powder snow on the planet. In addition to more than ten large ski resorts, the nation offers adventurers a wealth of backcountry options. Additionally, Chile offers skiing only across the Andes, so you may add a dozen additional South American destinations to your schedule if you wish to extend your stay.


Argentina, the second-largest nation in Latin America, with a varied topography that includes the high Andes mountains, the Atlantic coast, and expansive pampa grasslands. World-class ski resorts in the Andes include:


  • Las Leñas: One of South America’s most famous big-mountain resorts.

  • Cerro Castor: The southernmost ski resort in the world, located in Ushuaia, Patagonia.


The Best Time to Ski in Argentina


Argentina's ski season usually lasts from June to October, with the best snow conditions occurring in July and August. Mid-winter is the ideal time of year for deep powder adventures and backcountry travel. Planning ahead is crucial, particularly if you're traveling during a popular time of year or a local holiday.


Cost of Lift Tickets in Argentina


Due to currency volatility and severe inflation, day lift ticket prices in Argentina are frequently subject to revisions.


  • If you’re not booking a fully hosted guided tour or ski holiday package, it’s wise to check current lift ticket rates close to your travel date.


  • This becomes especially important if you plan to travel around chasing snow or just want a quick day trip to a nearby resort.
