Before or after the snow
The snow is just the start. Tango in Buenos Aires, Malbec in Mendoza, glaciers in El Calafate, trekking under Mount Fitz Roy, the Andes on horseback and 4x4 days off the map. Add any of it to your ski week, or come back for it in summer.
Ski season · June to October across our four mountains.
Year-round · Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Salta & Jujuy, Iguazú and El Calafate fit any ski trip.
Summer adventures · Fitz Roy trekking is best October to April; the horseback crossing runs December to March.
Year-roundTango, food & culture
South America's most cosmopolitan city, and where most international itineraries begin or end. Give it a few nights either side of the snow.
Year-round · harvest February to AprilWine country at the foot of the Andes
Argentina's premier wine region and the airport for Las Leñas, so it sits naturally at either end of a ski week. Winery visits and long lunches deserve their own days.
Year-roundThe colourful Andean Northwest
Red canyons, colonial towns and the high Puna plateau. A completely different Argentina from the snow, and a short flight from Buenos Aires.
Year-roundOne of the great natural wonders
Hundreds of waterfalls through subtropical rainforest, a short flight from Buenos Aires. We plan the Argentine side, where the walkways take you out over the water.
Year-roundGlaciers of Los Glaciares National Park
The town on Lake Argentino that opens up Los Glaciares National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the few in the world you can watch calving from walkways.
Best October to AprilArgentina's trekking capital
A few hours' drive north of El Calafate, the village of El Chaltén sits at the foot of Mount Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. The trails start at the edge of town: no transfers, just boots on.
Summer: December to MarchRide the San Martín route
In 1817 General San Martín led his army across the Andes from Mendoza. Ride sections of that route on horseback with local arrieros: long days in the saddle through high valleys, nights camping under the stars, and asado around the fire.
By regionOff the road, into the wild
Some of Argentina's best country has no paved road to it. Our 4x4 days go where the bus tours can't, with an experienced local driver-guide.
