CERRO CATEDRAL SKI CENTRE - RIO NEGRO, ARGENTINA

Cerro Catedral rises in the middle of Nahuel Huapi National Park, surrounded by unique lakes and summits, just 19 km (12 miles) away from San Carlos de Bariloche, to which it is linked by a paved road. This city has a world-class hotel and restaurant network.
In the Cerro Catedral complex you can take part in various sporting activities all year round. In winter you will be surprised by the great number of runs and over 30 lifts, among which there are a 6-seater polycarbonate-roofed gondola and a quadruple chair lift. Also, there are snow-making facilities which operate all night long to ensure there is snow as far as the base during the whole season. Another attraction worth mentioning is the Snowboard Park, certified by the International Snowboard Federation and tested by the best Argentinean snowboarders.
