Chapelco

Chapelco, located near the charming town of San Martín de los Andes in northern Patagonia, is one of Argentina's most popular ski resorts. The ski area stretches between 1,250 and 1,3215.2 feet above sea level and offers around 30 slopes and 12 lifts. The combination of open alpine areas and winding slopes through the Araucaria forest provides both variety and protection from the weather.

For beginners, there are wide and easy-to-ski slopes, as well as ski schools and children's areas. The average skier will appreciate the long blue and red slopes with magnificent views of Lake Lácar, while advanced skiers can challenge themselves on steeper terrain and explore the off-piste sections above the tree line. Chapelco also has a modern snow park that attracts freestyle skiers with jumps and rails.

Accommodation and services are available both at the resort and in San Martín de los Andes, where the range of hotels, restaurants and shops creates a vibrant atmosphere. The town is also known for its genuine small-town life and proximity to national parks. For those who want to combine skiing with other activities such as horseback riding, fishing or hiking, Chapelco is a perfect option.
