Mount Perito Moreno 2025
Cerro Perito Moreno, located 25 km northwest of El Bolsón in the province of Río Negro, Argentina, is a ski resort that combines Patagonian landscapes with an ideal offering for families and skiers of all levels. Its proximity to El Bolsón and its accessibility from Bariloche make it an attractive option for those looking to enjoy the snow in a natural and peaceful setting.
During the winter, the mountain transforms into a ski resort with multiple options for snow sports. Visitors can enjoy activities such as alpine skiing, Nordic skiing, snowboarding, sledding, and snowshoeing. In contrast, during the summer season, the mountain invites exploration along its trails with activities like trekking, horseback riding, and native flora and fauna watching.
The mountain’s slopes are designed to allow for excellent technical progression, making them ideal for beginners as well as experienced skiers and snowboarders. In addition, the Snowpark is a special attraction that draws riders from across the region. The mountain also features the Laderas Ski and Snowboard School, made up entirely of local instructors from El Bolsón, and a complete equipment rental service for those who do not have their own gear.
At the base of the mountain, there is a refuge managed in collaboration with the Club Andino Piltriquitrón, with capacity to accommodate around 60 people and a restaurant that serves up to 100 guests. This offer is complemented by two dining areas located at 1,350 and 1,640 meters above sea level, where visitors can enjoy mountain dishes, homemade meals, and sweet delicacies throughout the day.
One of the most outstanding experiences at Cerro Perito Moreno is the chance to go ratrack skiing in the Plateau area. This activity offers the opportunity to glide down untouched slopes that are not served by lifts and are free of other skiers, allowing for a unique connection with the mountain and breathtaking panoramic views. It is an exclusive excursion, ideal for those seeking a different kind of adventure in full contact with nature.
