Although remote, this place is awesome. It is never too crowded so there are no queues to get a lift. The trails are amazing! I want to go back as soon as possible! More

I just love, love, love this place! The snow is great and certain! I really like the food there, love the ski instructors... I had one bad instructor once and never saw him again! This is not a place up to european standards of luxury, if you look for a luxurious mountain you won't get it at Cerro Castor. Maybe... More

This medium sized resort has great views, excellant snow conditions , modern chair lifts, lots of on mountain dining, Much more reliable snow than Las Lenas, and Baraloche and much better lifts. The only down side is that you really need to stay in Ushuaia, which means that you need to be at the resort the entire day i.e. 10... More

Cerro castor offers a good service and is very well kept. Prices a little above average, specially if you stay for just few days, Prices get better if you buy the long term passes. Situated about 30 minutes by van from downtown Ushuaia, you will need to pre arrange local transfers with your hotel reception once there are no ordinary... More

I spent a few days skiing in this beautiful resort. Excellent snow conditions, very well groomed slopes, good and modern facilities. The restaurant on the top of the first chairlift is very good. Can suggest the cicken, the tipical local soup. The staff is very freindly. Big and very well equipped ski and snowboard rental. Just half an hour from... More

Cerro Castor is probably the less expensive place to ski in South America. Snow was not a problem up to 2010, when the amount of the snow in July and beginning of August was much less than expected. The quality of the lifts is ok, and also the number of slopes. A lot of international teams use to ski in... More
