Heliski Argentina Day Packages

If you are looking for a day or two of heli skiing in Argentina on your next visit to La Hoya or Bariloche, this could be just the ticket!

There are 2 packages on offer:

  • The Classic Day package includes 1:30 hours of helicopter flying time which equates to 5 - 6 runs of up to 1,000 vertical metres per run.
  • The Premium Day Package includes 2:00 hours of helicopter flying time which equates to 7 - 8 runs of up to 1,000 vertical metres per run.

Airport transfers and lodging are not included so you will need to organise these separately unless you decide to book a 3-Day Private Package or Weekly Private Package which are all inclusive.

Argentina Heliski is based out of the little Argentinian town of Cholila which is approximately 200km (3 hours drive) south of Bariloche or 145km (2 hours drive) north of Esquel. Both Bariloche & Esquel have major airports and regular flights. 

If you are not up for a 3 hour drive from Bariloche each way in a day, Cholila has a few cheap accommodation options with a few simple eateries and a bar. In town you will find a hostel, a couple of Cabañas and there are a few more options for Cabanas and Hosterias nearby.

El Bolsón is the largest town between Bariloche & Cholila (approx 77km, 1 hour's drive north) so this might also be an option for a couple of nights stay on the way to/from your heli skiing adventure. Here you will find a good variety of lodging, restaurants & bars.

If you are driving from Bariloche and up for a bit of an adventure, check out the small local ski area of Perito Morino. It is very basic and super cheapand a great place to hang out with the locals.

The Terrain

The terrain includes a vast zone of the Patagonian Andes Mountains, located in the province of Chubut (South of Argentina) south of the 42nd parallel, from the high peaks and glaciers near the border with Chile, to the desert ranges above the Patagonian steppe. 

You will have access to spectacular skiing & snowboarding terrain amongst mountains like Cerro Dos Picos (2.515 mts.), Planchón Nevado (2.400 mts.), Cerro Tres Picos (2.490 mts.) and many others.

With an immense variety of ski terrain to choose from, Argentina Heliski can accommodate skiers and riders of nearly all abilities with massive alpine bowls, seemingly endless glacier runs, steep technical descents and couloirs, and alpine meadows

  • Base Elevation: 545 m (1.790 ft.)
  • Highest Landing: 2.498 m (8.195 ft.)
  • Average Run Size: 800 vertical meters (2.625 vertical feet)

The Snow

Due to the proximity to the Pacific Ocean, these mountains receive a large amount of precipitations, and most of them are covered with glaciers.
