Cran Catedral , Argentina

Introduction

Gran Catedral lies west of San Carlos de Bariloche. The resort is spread across three peaks and gives rise to the second most extensive resort in S.America. Although a low elevation prevents snow cover to the base for the whole season, cover is usually good higher up with a variety of terrain. Best freeriding areas include the off piste from the Piedra del Condor peak.

Large investments have been made over the last 3 years, replacing a number of lifts and expanding the resort area.

06: 3 new chairlifts - Lynch Quad Lift, Nubes Quad and 2000 Double Chairlift
