Argentina Travel: Skiing in Ushuaia

Known as the "End of the World", Ushuaia is located in a spectacular natural environment on the Beagle Channel, right at the southernmost tip of Argentina. World famous for its striking landscapes of water, mountains and deep blue skies, Ushuaia is the dream destination of every nature lover, and a must on your Argentina travel adventure.
The closest city to Antarctica, Ushuaia is a hub for Antarctic touring and navigating the Strait of Magellan. Those who do not fear the cold will revel in the myriad activities available in this sumptuous setting. Summer is ideal for hiking, biking, horse riding, fishing, and touring the beautiful Beagle Channel and Cape Horn.
Do you want to be able to tell your friends and family that you skied at the end of the world? Then travel up to the modern and well-appointed ski resort on Castor Mount. Only 26 kilometers from Ushuaia, over 20 slopes of various difficulty levels and brand new equipment await you for a unique ski trip from July to October. Overlooking the magnificent Tierra del Fuego region, this excellent resort offers amazing vistas. Mount Castor is surprisingly only 195 meters above sea level and its top rises to 1,057 meters.
Try your hand at Nordic and Alpine ski, and travel through lengas forests on snow rackets, and enjoy the breathtaking views as you take the lift up the slopes. This great resort, among the cheapest too in Argentina, is complete with great infrastructure, a skiing & snowboarding school and modern lifts.
After a long day skiing down the slopes of Mount Castor, enjoy a delicious typical Argentinean meal, and why not treat yourself to a luxurious ski vacation by staying in one of the excellent 5-star hotels in Ushuaia? Or if you'd rather get an authentic feel, lodge at one of the estancias opened to the public.
