Cerro Catedral
South America's biggest ski area, half an hour from the lakeside town of Bariloche and a very different kind of ski holiday.
Terrain
A large mountain with a surprising range: gentle slopes and a huge beginner area low down, long intermediate cruisers in the middle and steep, rocky terrain higher up. Sheltered forest runs hold up well on stormy days.
Best suited to: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
