About
Of all of Argentina's ski centers, Cerro Bayo is the closest to an urban center. It is surrounded by forests and has the best view of Nahuel Huapi Lake and the Andes Mountains. Cerro Bayo features 200 hectares of alpine ski trails for every ability level in the midst of unsurpassed beauty. There is guaranteed snow for first-timers at 1500 m. And the ski center is just 15 minutes from the exclusive town of Villa La Langostura, in the Province of Neuquén and the Argentine Patagonia. Cerro Bayo has the best views in an unbeatable setting and is nestled in a strategic spot in the Andes: just 1.5 hours from San Martín de los Andes, 1 hour from San Carlos de Bariloche and 30 minutes from the Cardenal Samoré Border crossing to Chile.

- Rachel LParral, Chile97 contributionsJust amazing place..but disappointedThe location is absolutely amazing. Would love to do this again! We traveled from Chile to Argentina with Bicycles to enjoy riding downhill once we reached the top on Ski Lifts. However upon arriving and unloading our gear and dressing up for ride.. and reaching to booth to pay, we were advised and discouraged by the attendant of Biking that day because the country was having a Professional Biking/Cycling Practices and that we would interrupt the cyclists as we would have to give them priority and this could cause accidents..for both. We were extremely dissatisfied as we came all this way to experience this ride. We went atop anyway and enjoyed the view without bicycles. The attendant made NO effort to be accommodating, she was discouraging. My suggestions is you call before you take the drive with your loaded gear and expectations and ask if there is clearance in using the biking trails for the day. Will save you time and frustration.. otherwise is is truly spectacular sites above. The lodge atop had some of the best Empanadas Argentina’s. Not all was lost! Would return!Visited February 2020Traveled as a coupleWritten February 12, 2020
- Maria-Laura1995Buenos Aires, Argentina55 contributionsBeautiful place, many things to improveBeautiful place, plenty of trails, not many people so you don´t loose time. Not all the trails were available, given the small amount of snow. Reataurants are the weak part of the place, they are small for the amount of people, especially in pandemia times....not enough place for social distance. Bathrooms dont have the enough amenities (basics things, like toilet paper and hands dryers). But prices are very high, like if they really have a five star place. Prices of food are unreasonably highVisited July 2021Written July 22, 2021
- Take-off-380Munich, Germany41 contributionsGreat View - also recommended in summerWe went there twice. First time it was closed because of wind (that is what they told us in the tourist office at Villa la Angostura). Hence, we recommend first before climbing up the gravel road to the starting point of the lift. The ride is definately not cheap. But, good Investment if you want to have the 180 degrees view over the lakes. Up there, the Restaurant is open. It is recommended to take warm clothes even in summer and walking boots as climbing up the ski areas requires good shoe equipmentVisited December 2022Written December 11, 2022

We have been visiting Cerro Bayo as part of our Lake District Ski Week for many years. The location is easily accessible as a day trip from Bariloche, or as a destination if you want to stay in the quaint town of Villa La Angostura. The summit gondola provides excellent access to steep terrain and a few mellower runs. Backcountry access for those that are prepared is also unparalleled. And if you like tree skiing, Bayo provides myriad opportunities in old growth Lenga forests. The food and beverage at the mid-mountain is affordable and delicious.

It is so small that it's not worth the trip just for skiing or snowboarding purposes. It does have some stunning views, but you'll get bored by the 2nd or 3rd day.

Nice place, great for skiing or just visiting. For all family members, kids will have lots of fun! Many activities to do such as canopy and trekking, apart from skiing. Delicious meals and great times!

This boutique resort has some of the best views I have ever seen from the ski slopes. Skiing whilst looking down on the lakes below is spectacular.

Hola. Viajo a conocer la nieve, no tengo interés en esquiar, pero si actividades para chicos como culipatin o trineos. Cual es el mejor lugar para hacer esas actividades?
Saludos.

buenas tardes pensamos ir en agosto al cerro . Somos dos adultos mas una nena de 3 años, la idea es que ella disfrute de conocer la nieve. Alguien sabe como son las actividades de jardin de nieve? donde conviene hospedarse? las rutas para manejar son accesibles? conviene alquilar auto por 4 dias? Gracias

Hola, mira yo tenia las mismas dudas que vos y decidí alojarme en Bariloche, el alquiler de un auto es fundamental para recorrer, mis nenes conocieron la nieve en Cerro Otto, que es una excursión corta y la haces por tu cuenta. El segundo día fuimos al Cerro Lopez, no es muy comercializado, pero realmente hasta ahora es lo que más nos gustó, habia poca gente y los nenes se divirtieron haciendo culipatin, vas hasta la base y te suben en 4x4. Hoy fuimos a Villa La Angostura, todo por la ruta 40, al no nevar esta en perfectas condiciones y según conocidos siempre la limpian, así que se puede manejar tranquilamente. En La Angostura fuimos al Cerro Bayo, es hermoso pero te rompen la cabeza con los precios y para la nena tenes la escuelita de sky y sino culipatin, en cuanto a las clases yo la verdad decidí no hacerlas porque en 2 hs no se aprende nada, a menos que vayas todos los días al cerro a esquiar.
En fin, el auto para mi es fundamental, porque te moves con tus horarios, no dependes de ningún traslado en hs específica y siempre vas a tener un lugar para recorrer. Ahhh y otro dato, la ropa de nieve está re barata para alquilar, no te conviene comprar, además a la nieve de 4 días iras 2 a algún Cerro, para los demás paseos no hace falta ropa de nieve. Yo alquile al lado del hotel Premier, en el centro de Bariloche, no recuerdo el nombre del lugar y el hotel en el que me estoy hospedado es Fazenda Carioca, te lo recomiendo también. Bueno cualquier duda preguntame.
