PLAN YOUR TRIP
The most common route is to fly to Buenos Aires, then continue to Mendoza or San Rafael by plane or coach. From either of these two cities, you have two options:
By coach: several companies run daily services. Journey time is around 6 hours 30 minutes from Mendoza and around 3 hours from San Rafael.
By car, either with a rental vehicle or a private driver.
The easiest and most affordable option is still the coach.
Best time to go: powder conditions are usually at their best in August, though the season runs from June to September. Be prepared for strong winds in July, which can lead to some lifts closing.
Equipment: because of the altitude and the lack of tree cover, make sure you bring warm clothing and goggles suited to windy conditions. For off-piste skiing, take avalanche safety equipment (transceiver, shovel and probe), and consider hiring a guide.
