La Hoya is a small ski/snowboard resort located in Argentine Patagonia. Its slopes are best for beginning skiers or those looking for a tranquilo scenic ski getaway.

For those seeking more challenging slopes, be sure to checkout nearby Bariloche. Here the runs are more challenging and the nightlife is a little more reminiscent of Buenos Aires.

Ski season at both La Hoya and Bariloche runs from June to October. But if snow comes earlier, flights from Buenos Aires to Bariloche will start to fill up in a hurry.

Warmer months bring the normal mountain activities of mountain biking, repelling, and hiking. Numerous lakes and rivers leave no shortage of kayaking, fly-fishing, and camping opportunities.
