June to October
You have the option of staying at the base of the resort or in Ushuaia. Most skiers and snowboarders prefer staying in Ushuaia, since there are plenty of great restaurants for dining nightly, shops, cafes, ski stores, casinos, and a vibrant nightlife!
The season in Cerro Castor is from mid-June through mid-October. Cerro Castor boasts the longest season in all the Andes, since storms roll in from the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf of Antarctica. The skiing at Cerro Castor is very unique, considering the base elevation is only 640 feet. The weather can be pretty wild, but with storms coming in from all directions, you are bound to have a powder day or two during your visit to this exciting family-run resort. From the top of this resort, one can look towards the Bay of Ushuaia and Beagle Canal in the south or north towards the Chilean border.
The Cerro Castor Ski Resort is the southern most ski area in the world, located on the Island of Tierra del Fuego. Because of its orientation to the south, Castor Mountain has the best snow quality, protected from the heating of the sun and conserved in an excellent state. Being in the 54 parallel, the temperatures are lower and constant, which gives the best kind of snow precipitations similar that can be found in Moscow, Russia. The upper mountain consists of large bowls, steep chutes, long cruisers, and some bump runs mixed in for good measure. From mid mountain down there is some fun tree skiing and high speed groomers.
There are numerous lodging options in Ushuaia to meet all travel needs and budgets, ranging from boutique guest houses to suites looking over the Beagle Canal.
Wonderful dining options abound that serve up everything from Centolla (king crab) to Cordero (lamb), and Sushi that melts in your mouth. Ushuaia’s wide selection of restaurants takes care of every craving imaginable.
Ushuaia has very good nightlife, which lingers into the wee morning hours. There are two casinos, numerous pubs, wine bars, and discotheques to satisfy all music aficionados.
The resort’s location is an adventure in itself, located on the island of Tierra del Fuego in Ushuaia, the southern most city in the world.
Cerro Castor is a family-run mountain that serves up genuine Argentine hospitality, a good lift system, well-maintained ski runs, and some of the most stunning scenery found anywhere.
The city of Ushuaia provides nonstop excitement, from its numerous adventure activities to its casinos, award-winning restaurants, vibrant nightlife, and museums.
