Ski Season
Welcome to the Andes Mountains of Argentina! Let Endless Turns arrange your all-inclusive ski & snowboarding package to Cerro Castor Resort, located in Ushuaia, the southern most city in the world! Cerro Castor is a family run resort located on the island of Tierra del Fuego (meaning Land of Fire).
ABOUT THE RESORT
You have the option of staying at the base of the resort or in Ushuaia. Most skiers and snowboarders prefer staying in Ushuaia, since there are plenty of great restaurants for dining nightly, shops, cafes, ski stores, casinos, and a vibrant nightlife!
SKI SEASON
The season in Cerro Castor is from mid-June through mid-October. Cerro Castor boasts the longest season in all the Andes, since storms roll in from the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf of Antarctica. The skiing at Cerro Castor is very unique, considering the base elevation is only 640 feet. The weather can be pretty wild, but with storms coming in from all directions, you are bound to have a powder day or two during your visit to this exciting family-run resort. From the top of this resort, one can look towards the Bay of Ushuaia and Beagle Canal in the south or north towards the Chilean border.
THE MOUNTAIN
The Cerro Castor Ski Resort is the southern most ski area in the world, located on the Island of Tierra del Fuego. Because of its orientation to the south, Castor Mountain has the best snow quality, protected from the heating of the sun and conserved in an excellent state. Being in the 54 parallel, the temperatures are lower and constant, which gives the best kind of snow precipitations similar that can be found in Moscow, Russia. The upper mountain consists of large bowls, steep chutes, long cruisers, and some bump runs mixed in for good measure. From mid mountain down there is some fun tree skiing and high speed groomers.
ACCOMMODATIONS & CUISINE
There are numerous lodging options in Ushuaia to meet all travel needs and budgets, ranging from boutique guest houses to suites looking over the Beagle Canal.
Wonderful dining options abound that serve up everything from Centolla (king crab) to Cordero (lamb), and Sushi that melts in your mouth. Ushuaia’s wide selection of restaurants takes care of every craving imaginable.
