Cerro Catedral.

As the largest ski resort in the Southern Hemisphere, Cerro Catedral is the undisputed hub of Patagonia’s winter sports scene. Located inside Nahuel Huapi National Park, this massive mountain complex features over 120 kilometers of ski runs set against a dramatic backdrop of jagged, Gothic-like rock spires. While winter brings skiers and snowboarders to its 600 hectares of terrain, the mountain transitions into an alpine playground during the warmer months, offering lift-accessible hiking trails, rock climbing, and a dedicated downhill bike park. Whether you are carving down the slopes or trekking to the iconic Emilio Frey mountain hut, the high-altitude viewpoints deliver panoramic vistas over Lake Nahuel Huapi and the Andes. At the base, a bustling alpine village keeps the energy going with lively restaurants, bars, and shops.
