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.
Duration: More than 3 hours

This is a terribly managed mountain that robs money from tourists and locals alike. It has nothing boutique about it, but everything vintage. The lifts have no maintenance. To keep the summit gondola from falling, they place water tanks under the seats (check under your seat). Their patrol nearly died in an avalanche; a 6-year-old girl was left hanging from a chairlift for 20 minutes. The lifts don’t work. They don't use the snow cannons at the base to prevent your skis from being damaged.
But, of course, when it comes to installing a turnstile at a chairlift or knowing how to charge you, they are quite innovative.
The photos were taken on a slow day, with no tourism (check out the lines) and imagine what it will be like in peak season.
Considering the price you pay, the risk to your safety (without even skiing), and the lack of services this resort provides, it is highly advisable not to visit. It's a shame to see what they’ve done here.

Stay away from Milquinientos - 18,000 for a single shot of Fernet. But the mountain is very nice, the staff of the mountain are super friendly and helpful. They can also speak English, which was great. Thank you to Cerro Bayo, but stay away from Milquinientos Restaurant!!!!!

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.

This is a great mountain to go to! The views are incredible, not many people, and very well kept. For a couple days of ski it is perfect, for longer periods not so much.
On the way up to the mountain there is a sign for a waterfall, if you have the time do go here. Totally worth it!

Went the week BEFORE ski season, but there was still snow. The downside: not as many places to hike. The upside: sledding at the top of the mountain. You can bring your own sled, and they don't really have adult sleds, so it might be recommended. We stopped in at the not-yet-opened warming hut, and the staff were amazingly gracious considering that they were still doing pre-season construction. Opened a box of cookies for us for free because they didn't have anything for sale yet.

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
Written June 12, 2021
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.
