We went up here in May, during the fall. Everything was shut down. The summer crowds were gone and the ski crowds hasn't arrived yet. Nothing much to see since everything was closed. Unless you are here during the summer or winter, don't bother.

The ride in the gondola was very cold in February, but the view once you arive is breathtaking. The small restaurant has a great chococognac.

We stopped by Cerro Catedral after hiking up to Cerro Campanario and do a bit of walking off the Ciruito Chico. What a perfect end to an active day. After taking the gondola up the mountain the hike to the top is only about 30 minutes. Do wear hiking shoes, just because of the rocks and dust, but the trail... More

A two-step ride to the top (or hike it) and the views will knock your socks off. We took a city bus for about AR$20, a popular bus, and it is well worth the effort to visit.

I was interested in seeing the layout of the largest ski resort in South America. Nice to see but after seeing the views from Cerro Campanario (which is much closer and a much shorter ski lift ride), I'm not sure it's worth the effort if you're at Cerro Catedral in the summer for the views. To get to the top,... More

We hiked almost all the way to Frey, stopping a bit below the summit in order to catch the bus back to Bariloche. The hike was quite enjoyable, meandering up the mountain with great lake views, as well as shady stretches. Not too challenging, and not four hours, either. We reached the waterfalls in less than 2.5 hours and the... More

Cerro Catedral and the surrounding village are a must-see. We visited in the late spring, so it was not ski season. We hiked the Frey trail (this is a must-do; good for experienced hikers as you get far into the journey, but a novice can walk a good 90 minutes up on smooth trails for amazing views before turning back)....

The skiing is great. Very local, you do not see a lot or people from europe but I lot of people from South America. They are more relax.
