Cerro Castor

Its extensive runs, the quality of its services and the sheer beauty of its scenery make Cerro Castor the perfect mountain setting for an adventure in the uttermost part of the earth. This ski resort lies only 27 km (17 miles) from Ushuaia, the world's southernmost city, on the most austral portion of the Andes. The natural environment invites visitors to fully enjoy its incredibly fascinating geography.

The climate is perfect to practice winter sports; the snow is the best and the season is the longest in South America.

The ultramodern lift facilities make it possible for skiers to be efficiently distributed about the pistes, which cover an area of 400 hectares. Fifteen ski runs suitable for sportspeople of all ability levels - one of them certified for competition by the I.S.F. - extend over 17 km and are prepared to let you indulge in nature unreservedly. The off-piste runs are extremely high quality and varied, and ideal if you expect to find virgin snow or extreme skiing and snowboarding.

SKI AND SNOWBOARD SCHOOL

The Escuela de Esquí del Cerro Castor has a team of 20 expert instructors and is open during the whole season. It also operates a school for children from 4 to 14 years of age offering daily 6-hour activity program and daycare services at the base of the mountain.

LIFTS

There are 5 lifts in the complex, which can carry 5,000 skiers per hour.

GROOMING AND SNOW-MAKING FACILITIES

Winch cats are used to pack down and flatten the trails and thus keep them in perfect condition.
