Mendoza Travel Guide: Sports Activities
Proximity to the Andean Cordilleras makes Mendoza an ideal base for many outdoor activities and adventure tourism. Options in close proximity such as mountain climbing, trekking, river rafting, wind sailing, and several world class ski destinations.
The most popular skiing destination is Las Leñas, around a 1 hour drive from Malargue airport in the province of Mendoza. Built in 1983, this is a relatively new ski resort, yet it has become very popular with locals and travelers alike. The outstanding frozen and mountainous landscape combined with the warm and snug atmosphere of the resort probably go a long way to explaining this.
Another good skiing center is Los Penitentes which is 167 km (104 miles) from the city of Mendoza along the highway to Santiago. The complex stands at 2580 meters above sea level against the backdrop of the impressive Mt. Aconcagua. There are 26 runs with crisp powder snow and of differing drops and lengths. Novices and experts alike will find routes amongst these.
