What guests say about Esnativa
“From start to finish, the trip planning, coordination, logistics, and powder hunting were all handled flawlessly. The guides were top-notch, making every day both safe and unforgettable.”
“The wind and weather were tricky during our visit, but the guides knew exactly where the good snow was hiding. Highly recommend!”
“What I wanted for my holiday was to focus on the adventure and not all the logistics, and experience Chile, and I got exactly that and more. My favourite day was experiencing the natural hot springs near Nevados de Chillán.”
Arrive at Bariloche Airport (BRC) and head to your hotel near downtown Bariloche, your base for the next 2 nights. We can coordinate your airport transfer as an add-on. You'll gather for a group meeting with drinks and snacks, followed by dinner together at a traditional asado restaurant (not included). Rest up after your journey in preparation for the adventure ahead.
After breakfast, you'll head to Cerro Catedral ski resort where you will do some warm-up runs which will help your guide to gauge the group's skill level. During the day you'll explore the on-piste slopes, venturing to secret spots and off-piste areas. Enjoy lunch at one of the mountain restaurants or grab a sandwich on the go. Return to the hotel, then head downtown for dinner at one of our favorite Patagonian restaurants.
After breakfast you will check-out and head back to Cerro Catedral ski resort. You'll explore new terrain accessible by a combination of lifts and ski touring. You will stop for a picnic lunch and enjoy the stunning views of mountains & lakes. Later, you'll be driven by your guide to Villa La Angostura, a charming town by Nahuel Huapi Lake. This is where you will be based for the next 2 nights.
After breakfast, a short drive will take you to Cerro Bayo. It is a lot smaller resort than Cerro Catedral but it offers some incredible terrain, powder stashes and amazing views. You'll explore the on and off-piste slopes, improving skills, accessing secret spots, and enjoying tree skiing. In the evening you will have time to explore the village of Villa la Angostura and savor local food.
After breakfast, check out and head back to Cerro Bayo ski resort for another epic day of skiing/riding. Weather permitting, a hike to Inacayal Mountain or smaller ridges for some good long runs. After skiing, your guide will drive you to San Martin via the Seven Lakes road. If it is still daylight the views along this road are some of the best you will find in all of Patagonia. Once in San Martín de los Andes, your base for the next 3 nights, check in and enjoy dinner at a downtown restaurant.
After breakfast, it is a short drive to Cerro Chapelco ski resort. You will get the chance to warm up and practice on groomers and improve your skills with your guide, explore lift-accessed off-piste, secret spots, and forests. Return to San Martin where you can explore the beautiful village, check out one or more of the many bars and then dinner.
Breakfast and head to Cerro Chapelco once again for another day of amazing skiing & riding. If conditions and the mood of the group permits, you can venture to Chapelco's Back Bowls for fantastic easy-access freeriding. After skiing, return to San Martín for a last group dinner at a Patagonian asado restaurant (not included).
After breakfast at the Hotel, it’s time to wrap up an incredible week in Patagonia. From here, you have two options: you can transfer directly to the San Martin airport for your departure, or, if needed, we can arrange a return transfer to Bariloche with your ski equipment. Please note that the transfer back to Bariloche has an additional cost associated. Safe travels, and we hope to see you again for another adventure in the mountains.
