Less than twenty kilometres away from the town itself, one of the most important winter sports centres of the country can be found. This is the Cerro Catedral (Cathedral Hill), where national and international skiing and other snow-related sports can be practised.

Its 2000-hectare skiing surface together with its 97 kilometres of ski runs and stunningly beautiful views provide both, beginners and experts skiers, everything they need to enjoy the best skiing experience.

In the villa, located one thousand meters high, tourists and particularly skiers have the chance of staying in highly comfortable hotels surrounded by an amazing environment and a magnificent view.

This tour begins in the city centre, travelling along Pioneros Avenue until an access within the first few kilometres is found.

Four kilometres ahead a place named Piedras Blancas is reached. At this point stunningly beautiful scenarios of Nahuel Huapi, Moreno and Guitiérrez lakes can already be devised.

The higher one gets, the better the view becomes from Tronador, Catedral and Campanario peaks.

In order to practise snow-related winter sports or simply to enjoy the magnificent views you can also use the lift at Cerro Otto. Its lowest station is located at Kilometre 5, Pioneros Avenue.

This excursion starts from San Carlos de Bariloche town.

After travelling eight kilometres through a pathway along the coast of Nahuel Huapi Lake, we will come across Playa Bonita.

Furthermore, ten kilometres ahead, the Campanario Hill is reached. Through a chair lift it is possible to get to the summit of this hill and enjoy the fascinating view of the Perito Moreno Lake, the Trébol Lagoon, and Otto, López, Goye and Catedral peaks.

Given that this journey is about 215 kilometres long, it will, in all probability, be necessary to spend an entire day at this hill.

The Tronador’s highest peak is 3460 meters high and there are several mountain huts to spend the night along the hill for those willing to climb it. For example, Otto Meiling Refuge at almost 2050 meters above sea level and Tronador Refuge at about 2270 meters high.

Owing to its remarkable beauty, this forest is protected as a national monument.

Starting from Puerto Pañuelo and after sailing along the extensive Brazo Blest, passing very close to the Centinela Islet, a port bearing the same name is reached.

In the Centinela Islet the remains of Perito Francisco Pascacio Moreno, the man who donated the plot where nowadays the Nahuel Huapi National Park is placed, rest in peace.

Once in Puerto Blest it is possible to have lunch. After lunch is over we will continue climbing, heading towards the Pitchers Cascade (Cascada Los Cántaros). In order to reach this spot it is necessary to go up some wooden steps up to an approximate height of 600 meters, bordering the torrent.
