Cerro Castor Ski Resort
Cerro Castor
One of the world's southernmost ski resorts, with a long snow season, good snow quality, and chairlift views of glaciers and valleys.
Cerro Castor ski resort sits beside Route 3, about 26 km from Ushuaia, and opened in 1999. It has more than 30 runs, from beginner to expert. Because of its high latitude, the snow is drier than at ski resorts in northern Argentina, and the season can extend into October. At the base there are equipment rental shops, a ski school and restaurants, and the town runs shuttle buses daily. Ski teams from the Northern Hemisphere often come here to train in summer. The resort closes in summer, but visitors can hike the mountain roads.
