Ski or Snowboard Cerro Chapelco, Argentina
Chapelco, or Cerro Chapelco, is a mountain and massif in southwestern Argentina. The ski station of the same name is located 19 kilometres (12 mi) from the resort town of San Martín de los Andes. Cerro Chapelco is a modern ski resort with some good lifts and tree skiing.
Cerro Chapelco has only 140 hectares of skiable terrain, 22 trails and 73 meters of vertical drop. While not very large, you wont be disappointed coming with Cerro Chapelco with the dramatic views of Volcan Lanin and the turquoise Lake Lácar.
Designed by Federico Graeff and established in 1946, Chapelco became an increasingly popular tourist destination after 1970. The resort maintains a ski and snowboard school with 200 instructors for all ages as well as numerous lodges, the most important of which is the Graeff Lodge; eight restaurants; a ski and snowboard rental and repair center; boutiques and cybercafés; and emergency and other basic services.
Cerro Chapelco is a 262km (163 miles) drive north of Bariloche. The resort is accessible via National Route 234 from San Martín de los Andes, and via a two-hour flight from Jorge Newbery Airport in Buenos Aires to the Gaspar Campos Chapelco Airport.
