Classic splitboarding week tour in Patagonia | Argentina

Discover the secret corners of Patagonia and experience a border crossing from Argentina to Chile in this exciting splitboarding week led by local AAGM-certified guide Jeremias.

7 Days

Jun - Sep

Description

As a local mountain guide with vast experience in winter sports in Patagonia, I bring today a different proposal for you. Join me through remote backcountry spots that only few people know.

I’ve planned this 7 day tour which starts in the Cerro Catedral ski area, quite close to the Bariloche city center. This program is suitable both for skiers and snowboarders. I can organize mixed groups and guide you all according to your technical equipment.

During this expedition we’ll have the pleasure to ascend many peaks and mountain huts with the help of the skins or splitboards and then, enjoy fantastic descents to keep discovering new sites.

In addition I won’t only guide you across the gentle slopes of the Argentinian Patagonia. We will also ski and snowboard around the Cerro Mirador ski resort and the Casablanca Volcano, in Chile!

If you find this splitboarding adventure interesting please send your request to book now!

I also offer the same program aimed exclusively at skiers: a ski touring week around these amazing corners of Argentina and Chile.

Price includes

- Accommodation included

Price details

For the moment the border crossing between Argentina and Chile is not possible, so the price listed is for an itinerary on the Argentine side.

Price does not include: -Lift tickets (Catedral and Bayo) -Lodging in Bariloche -Backcountry ski or splitboarding gear -Beacon, shovel, probe and safety kit.


Itinerary

Day 1: Introductory meeting and gear check

We will previously arrange a meeting point in the town of Bariloche where we must be at 4 pm to discuss the itinerary and check the gear.

Day 2: Catedral ski area - La Lagunita

Meeting at 8:30 am to head out to the Catedral ski center and get our ski lift tickets. We’ll spend the morning there seeking out the best lines that only the locals know. We’ll decide whether to go off-piste snowboarding depending on the snow and weather conditions. Lunch and in the afternoon we’ll splitboard out of bounds to the “La Lagunita” area.

Day 3: Cerro Lopez / Cerro Chalhuaco

At 8 am we’ll decide where to spend the day depending on the weather conditions. We’ll get away from the crowds and use our splitboards to find untracked lines. We’ll review some techniques with the splitboard as well as some other skills. Return to Bariloche at around 4 pm.

Day 4: Bayo ski area – Cerro Inacayal

Meeting up at 7 am and then we’ll drive to Villa La Angostura. We’ll take the lifts at Bayo ski area to gain elevation, take some runs and attempt Cerro Inacayal. These are some of the best views while we look for fresh and pristine snow. Overnight in Villa La Angostura

Day 5: Border crossing and rest day in Entre Lagos, Chile

We’ll leave early to cross the border and make the most of our trip to Chile! We’ll spend a rest day at a cabin in the small town of Entre Lagos, dry out gear and get everything ready for our next objective: our first Chilean volcano.

Day 6: Casablanca Volcano

Starting at the base of a small ski area (without taking the lifts) we’ll ascent with splitboard approximately 5-6 hours to reach the summit of Casablanca. Today is a day to enjoy what we’ve learned and snowboard our first volcano. If weather (and schedule) allows, we’ll find other spots of the volcano to ski. Overnight in Entre Lagos.

Day 7: Return to Argentina and Cerro Mirador

If our legs are willing, on the way back we can take a ski on Cerro Mirador, just on the border between Chile and Argentina. The round trip will take 4 hours approximately. Return to Bariloche, dinner and end of such a fascinating program.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
