The Perito Moreno ski area is very no-frills, and whilst the amenities are simple, they cover the basics. Most of the facilities and services at Cerro Perito Moreno are housed within a new building at the base area that includes the ticket office.

Equipment Rental & Ski Shop

The base building has a ski and snowboard rental outlet. The quality of the equipment is pretty reasonable and will be more than adequate for beginner and intermediate riders.

Best of all, it’s offered at rock bottom prices. The ski hire shop also rents out sleds.

The rental shop also doubles as a retail ski shop, selling just a few basic ski and snowboard accessories.

Ski School

Perito Moreno has a small ski and snowboard school that specialises in lessons for beginners. These operate during school holidays and on weekends (only in Spanish).

Eating On Mountain

Meals are available at the refugio, which is about 50 metres up the hill from the base building.

At the top of the chairlift is a confiteria. They only sell very basic fare such as beverages, empanadas and other snacks. It’s completely acceptable to brown bag it too! The café has some indoor seating as well as an outdoor deck with tables and chairs. This is the perfect spot to perch in the sun and watch the kiddies on the beginners’ slopes.
