    Catedral Alta Patagonia Resort
    Chapelco Resort

    Welcome to the Northern Lakes District of Patagonia!  This ski adventure is the perfect combination for experiencing Catedral Alta Patagonia and Chapelco Resorts.  These beautiful areas are located only 3 hours apart and offer a wide range of terrain, including long cruisers, wide open bowls, steep chutes, bump runs, and the best tree skiing in Argentina!

    After the sun has set and ski boots come off, it’s time to explore these picturesque villages.  Bariloche and San Martin de Los Andes serve up wonderful cuisine, from local wild game to succulent beef, homemade pastas, and there’s plenty of Malbec wine to wash it all down!  Great apres ski and nightlife can be found in both ski towns, so whether you enjoy live music, karaoke, djs spinning electronic music, or a few cervezas at one of the local pubs, there is something for everyone!
