Cerro Bayo
Overview
Known as Argentina’s premier boutique ski resort, Cerro Bayo offers a sophisticated, deeply scenic mountain experience. Perched high above the town of Villa La Angostura, it is famous for its jaw-dropping, panoramic views of the massive Lake Nahuel Huapi and its focus on premium service, high-end gastronomy, and a refined, uncrowded atmosphere.
Hotels
There are no hotels directly on the slopes; instead, guests stay in the highly exclusive town of Villa La Angostura, a short drive from the base:
• Correntoso Lake & River Hotel: A legendary luxury property perched at the mouth of the Correntoso River. It offers flawless elegance, a spectacular indoor/outdoor heated pool, a world-class spa, and exceptional regional dining.
• Las Balsas Relais & Châteaux: A stunning, ultra-exclusive boutique hotel located right on the shores of the lake. It provides unparalleled privacy, bespoke service, one of the finest wine cellars in Patagonia, and a tranquil spa to recover after the slopes.

Terrain & Amenities
• The Terrain:While more compact than its neighbor Catedral, Bayo offers an incredibly fun, dynamic mountain layout. It features perfectly manicured groomers, a modern gondola, and surprisingly steep, sustained fall lines. For advanced skiers, the «Provinciales» off-piste sector offers fantastic, technical tree skiing and open bowls, all with the surreal backdrop of the deep blue lake below.
• Amenities: The resort distinguishes itself with a high-end culinary approach. Rather than crowded cafeterias, the on-mountain dining features gourmet restaurants, champagne bars, and cozy mountain refuges. The base area provides top-tier equipment rentals and VIP concierge services to ensure a completely frictionless ski day.
