Cerro Castor - Ski at the end of the world

he newest in Argentina and the southernmost in the world, ever since its opening, Cerro Castor continues welcoming more and more visitors who come along to enjoy the snow. Very close to the capital of Tierra del Fuego, where the sea and the mountains meet to be the protagonists of a dazzling geography, Castor is only 195 meters above sea level and its top rises to 1,057 meters.

With a skiable drop that reaches 772 meters, Castor Mount distributes 24 runs with different levels of difficulties and off-piste sectors into 20 kilometers. Nordic ski is the most outstanding modality, with circuits that go through lengas forests which can also be visited on snow rackets.

Unlike the general belief, Castor enjoys very good weather and the best quality of powder snow, due to the stability of its temperature, offering one of the longest seasons in South America.

Modern lifts, skiing and snowboarding school, and all the services that complement the infrastructure and Ushuaia scenery, turn Castor Mount into a complete resort, to ski in the confines of the world.

News
In 2008, Cerro Castor inaugurated 2 téléskis in the eastern area of the hill and in 2009 a four-seat chairlift spanning 940 meters and covering a skiable slope of 235 meters was added. It stands at 420 meters of height and it has been named the Park Chairlift.

Likewise, two Magic Carpets have been incorporated in the beginners’ area to enhance transportation of skiers who are taking their first steps on the snow.

A new track called Liquen was laid out in the hill. It has red difficulty (hard).

The Snowpark features a new design and a new location. Now it lies under the Park Chairlift, between the Águila Mora and Liquen tracks, surrounded by trees that protect it from the wind. This new Snowpark unfolds opposite the future restaurant at the 420 meters area.
