Las Leñas

Las Leñas, located in the heart of the Argentine Andes, is one of South America's most famous ski resorts and attracts skiers seeking both challenge and magnificent scenery. The ski system reaches up to 3,1410.8 feet and offers 30 slopes and 14 lifts. For advanced skiers, the resort is mainly known for its steep terrain and easily accessible off-piste, with classic runs such as Torrecillas and the vast fields around the legendary Marte lift. When Marte is open, almost unlimited opportunities await you for freeride and summit tours – but the lift is also known for being sensitive to wind.

For beginners and families, there are wide slopes, a ski school and children's areas that make it easy to get started. Park riders will find easier jumps and rails, while the biggest attraction for experienced riders is the natural terrain. The accommodation is close to the slopes, with everything from basic apartments to hotels, and in the small village there are restaurants, bars and the famous nightlife at UFO Point.

Las Leñas is characterized by its isolation – the nearest town is an hour's drive away – which contributes to the feeling of being completely surrounded by mountains. Snow-sure winters, short lift queues and an atmosphere that attracts both international freeskiers and local skiing families await you. Many people combine the trip here with a visit to Mendoza, known for its vineyards and magnificent landscapes.
