La Hoya

This winter sports complex is named La Hoya ("the hole") on account of the mountain's shape: a large glacier arena on which all runs converge at the same point at the foot.

It is the perfect spot to enjoy sports and nature, because it is located right in the Argentinean Patagonia, in a privileged area peppered with stunning lakes, such as Futalaufquen and Menendez, in Los Alerces National Park. This center also boasts other attractions and activities: you can take a trip on the mythical "La Trochita" steam train, or go on a tour of Trevelin - a Welsh settlement that has kept its ancient traditions alive both in its people and in its desserts and jams. The runs were especially designed to be used by skiers of all skills. However, the most salient feature is the possibility to practice off-piste skiing and snowboarding, which makes this one of the best resorts of this kind in South America.

SKI AND SNOWBOARD SCHOOL

La Hoya has 2 ski schools that give skiing and snowboarding lessons for trainees of all ability levels using the Argentinean technique, a system that guarantees an efficient and speedy learning process.

Escuela Infantil: Skiing and snowboarding classes for 3- to 5-year-olds. The instructors at the Jardín de Nieve are especially skilled to teach young children. This complex also operates a daycare center providing entertainment and games.

LIFTS

There are 8 modern lift facilities, which can carry 4,600 skiers per hour.

GROOMING AND SNOW-MAKING FACILITIES

Maintaining the runs in perfect condition requires 3 grooming cats which keep snow in its original state. There is also an artificial snowmaking system that significantly improves the condition of the trails.
