Caviahue

Characterized by quietness and a pristine atmosphere, Caviahue - "party or meeting place" in Mapudungun, the language of the Mapuche - is situated right on the Andes at 1,647 meters above sea level in the north-west of Neuquén province.

It is a mountain village lying at the foot of the Copahue volcano, on the shores of the Caviahue lake. Sitting in the 28,300-hectare Copahue-Caviahue Provincial Park, amid pehuenes (Araucaria araucana or monkey puzzle trees), lakes, ponds, basalt terraces, thermal springs and mallines de altura (muddy and verdant hilltop areas), this village offers visitors a unique spectacle: it is covered in snow even in spring.

In this tourist center and mountain station, where you can practice alpine skiing and langlauf on extensive runs, the ski season and the snow last for 4 to 5 months.

About 11 miles (18 km) from the resort and at 1,900 meters above sea level, the renowned Termas de Copahue thermal springs - a health and beauty spa - boast a wonderful microclimate characterized by dry and pure air.

SKI AND SNOWBOARD SCHOOL

During the whole season, the Escuela de Esqui Caviahue offers individual and group classes of alpine skiing, langlauf and snowboarding by professional and experienced instructors. The center also operates the Jardín de Nieve, whose specialized instructors and baby-sitters help children take their first skiing steps.

LIFTS

There are five lifts, which can carry 3,300 skiers per hour.

OTHER SERVICES

Esquí Aventura: Rides up to the crater of the volcano in caterpillar vehicles, cross-country off-piste skiing.
