Skiing in Patagonia

If you’re looking to take a break in August but heat isn’t your thing, head out to Bariloche in the Patagonian Lake District – a haven for ski enthusiasts. Here you’ll find the luxury ski resort; Cerro Catedral (named as such because this mountain’s facade is shaped like a cathedral). The slopes surrounding Cerro Catedral are just spectacular and allow you to take in panoramic views of Bariloche and it’s surrounding lakes and mountains.

We love this ski trip of 14-days where you can enjoy the luxuriousness of the resort and do some serious skiing in the daytime. It’s run by a husband and wife team from South Africa, who spend a few months leading group treks and skiing round Patagonia before spending the summer back in South Africa. They put their heart and soul into their trips and they’re fun and knowlegeable guides.
