My first time skiing here, and it was beyond my expectations! Great slopes, amazing snow, and absolutely stunning views. I was also impressed by how skilled most of the skiers here are. Such a wonderful experience! ⛷️❄️

Beware Terrible Customer Service ! We visited here in September 2025, a non-skier friend wanted to join us at the top mountain restaurant for lunch. The ticket office sold us a foot passenger ticket for a Cable Car that was not running. My friend was not allowed on the chairlift and was not able to join us. He was told that to get a refund he needed the original receipt which I had on me. We went to the customer service office that afternoon and were told “too bad, no refunds”. Why would they sell us a ticket to a lift that was not in service? WHAT A SCAM! Reading the other reviews here, there seems to be a pattern here to take your money. To make things worse, there was hardly any snow, maybe a few runs open, and they were charging FULL price for a lift ticket. I don’t blame them for the lack of snow but the customer experience was terrible. It looks like a nice mountain to ski at but I will never return to a resort that scams its guests. Shame on you.

We planned to ski 3-4 days on July 11-14 2026. The temperature was above freezing for most of the time. Roughly 5% of the terrain of the resort was open with man-made snow - I was hoping for at least 30% based on Gemini AI summary/hallucination 3-4 weeks in advance. Only one green and blue trail were open during that time with a short double Princessita and six person chair Sixtuple serving them. Two more lifts were open for pedestrian access to touch snow, sled on a flat-ish area and check a café. If we didn’t travel with kids, it may be better to rent a car and decide on which resort has better conditions once you arrive in Bariloche, if traveling in July. Season started late in 2026 - resort opened Princesita on July 6 and a six chair lift by the weekend. We were checking Catedral app and forecast as our arrival neared. With so little of the resort open, the lines for the lifts (one 100 m elevation, one 300 m) were 15-25 minutes each. With Brazil and Argentina holidays and so little of the resort open, runs were as packed as the lift. Dense fog covered all the open ski area for a day, and it rained for two other days with higher cloud cover. We skied in the fog, going up above it in a gondola as pedestrians and went hiking for most of the days. Most of the services in this resort are done by independent businesses unrelated to the resort. About a quarter of people speak at least a minimal English, Portuguese is easier. People are friendly even if there is a language barrier. Ski resort has a fixed price for each day and various parking options with a shuttle for the free one. Remaining options are informal – there is a dozen of ski rental and lesson shops, restaurants, hotels and apartments for rent within 15-20 minute walk. Most people rent their gear and lessons are very common – half the people seemed to be in one. It is a bit overwhelming to decide which option to choose without stopping by. It may help that prices are generally comparable for most of the options, but it’s hard to tell online. Most businesses don’t publicize the prices, service, vibe or quality beyond google map reviews. Popping in to look seems to be a common way to decide. Rental shops further from the lift area do shuttles and can hold the skis for you. Rental shops closer to main lift area (some have locations on the main road and even in Bariloche downtown) do not guarantee you will get the same set next day unless you take them with you or pay for storage, which is comparable to a day rental. Majority people stay in Bariloche, which is about 20-40 minutes away depending on traffic on the one road that goes through. We enjoyed staying in the village, though things are quiet after 6 pm. There are a few hikes within walking distance of the village. Most businesses except the lift give a cash discount – 10-15% in 2026. Housing is also informal – Airbnb “host” was a company that routed business to a local owner for a fee. Airbnb “host” advertised the wrong location, but it worked out fine. The resort sells lift tickets in person from 8:30 am to 4 pm. You can pay for parking until 5. I was worried about longer lines based on google maps reviews, but didn’t see them at the time I went. I pre-ordered a pass online – US issued VISA card didn’t work, but mastercard/AMEX did. The kiosk to pick pre-ordered cards also closed at 5 pm, as it needed a person to guard.

We were not necessarily planning on visiting Cerro Catedral but are very glad we did. We rode the gondola and chairlift up to the top and then hiked up to the summit. We were not outfitted for hiking, just sneakers and light sweaters and it was perfect as the weather was warm and sunny. The view at the top of Tronador is amazing and well worth the climb.

Cerro Catedral in Argentina is gorgeous! Views are breathtaking, with panoramic landscapes of the Andes. Whether you’re skiing in the winter or hiking in the summer, the scenery is unmatched. It’s the perfect spot to immerse yourself in nature and take in some of the most beautiful views Argentina has to offer. Highly recommend!
