Ski at Las Lenas

Las Lenas stands as Argentina's premier ski resort, offering steep chutes and reliable Andean powder from June through October. With a vertical drop of 1,200 meters and over 30 runs, it challenges expert skiers more than #6's scenic drive, yet welcomes intermediates on groomed blues. The snowfall averages 7 meters annually, providing fresh tracks well into spring, and the resort's highest lift reaches 3,050 meters for panoramic views of the Cordillera. A day pass costs about $70 USD, 30% cheaper than comparable Chilean resorts like Portillo, with fewer crowds midweek. Its high-alpine bowls, such as the iconic Avila run, consistently outperform the average South American slope in depth and longevity of snow cover. For powder hounds seeking extreme terrain without the price tag of the Alps, this destination offers unmatched access to Andean winter.
