Algunos opinan que la comida es cara en Chapelco y tienen razón, otras veces los paradores están un poco sucios por la cantidad de gente.
Pero con la poca nieve que cayó este año están manteniendo la montaña en muy buen estado.

Laura from Argentina

Chapelco es un lugar increíble! Al igual que su gente, comida y todos los servicios que brindan para que el turista reciba lo mejor. Fuimos tres años seguidos y seguiremos yendo! :)

martin from Argentina

Chapelco es un afano. En el greaf tardan 1 hora para traerte una ensalada. En Pradera, te dan un chori seco x 30 pesos. Los baños irradian olor a meo.
En la pagina dicen que hay 50 cm en intermedia y ya salis de la telecabina y hay barro.
Le mienten a la gente.

Chapelco está espectacular, a pesar de que hay poca nieve podemos esquiar en casi toda la montaña.
Gracias a todos los que hacen posible que Chapelco funcione así.

Romina from Argentina

Hace 10 años que vistamos Chapelco y este año tuvimos la posibilidad de alojarnos en el complejo huella blanca del barrio las pendientes... La verdad es que volvimos felices de esta experiencia, no solo por la posibilidad de ir a chepelco y no tener que utilizar nuestro vehículo sino también por la excelente atención que brinda el personal durante todo momento.. Las Cabañas muy lindas y muy limpias, los encargados MIlton e IVan disponibles las 24 hs, realmente felicitamos a los propietarios y nos tendrán de clientes todos los años...
Gracias por los momentos lindos que nos hicieron pasar...
Romina.

Hola Todos,

alguno sabe donde puedo conseguir las estadisticas anuales con cantidad de nieve en base e intermedio en Julio, Ago y Sept para Chapelco?

Gracias y disfruten la nieve

[Nota del editor: tenemos una historia de nieve, en el menú para cada estación de esquí, que proporciona predicciones retrospectivas (previsiones archivados). Sin embargo, esto no está disponible en su totalidad en la actualidad, pero estamos trabajando para poner los datos en su lugar.]

Hector from Argentina

For me, Chapelco is the best ski resort in Argentina. For the last 35 years I go down there every winter. They should improve a couple of things though, i.e. reinstate the locations for skis and boots 4 the owners, keep operational the slope (Silla Triple) at the base if snow permits, allow to jump off the lift at tower 6 to accede comfortably to Travesia Baja (the way to Pradera del Puma) and a couple of things more that we used to enjoy in the past.

Estamos en Chapelco, muy buena nieve disfrutando Las Pendientes a pleno, la bajada de antorchas del jueves pasado estuvo estupenda.
Toda la familia disfrutando, los chicos en el Jardín de nieve y la cabaña excelente con la pista en la puerta!
Gracias a todo el personal de Las Pendientes y a Roberto y su equipo de Ladera Sur que nos atienden las 24 hs.
Volveremos el próximo año!!

El centro esta cubierto de nieve hasta la base, cosa no muy común en los últimos años de chapelco. Esta noche (madrugada del martes 23) está lloviznando en la ciudad, seguro nevando en el cerro. Muy buena semana para esquiar.

Raúl from Argentina

Un día espectacular en Chapelco, ingresamos ayer en unas cabañas espectaculares y comenzamos la semana esquiando, ahora una pausa para recuperar las fuerzas.
Volvimos de Chapelco esquiando en 5 minutos por un camino increíble por el bosque.
Disfruten con nosotros!!!

El cerro esta cubierto de muy buena nieve. Ayer y hasta hoy temprano no paro de nevar, ahora vienen dias de sol, nada mas que para disfrutar!

Diego from Argentina

Chapelco es un cerro muy copado, solo que no esta habiendo mucha nieve. Hoy llovio todo el día, el Forecast es muy preciso. Tengan en cuenta que algunos comentarios y pricipalmente el de Federico Soto son totalmente falsos, exitos y nieve en polvo para todos.

gaston from Argentina

Hoy el dia en Chapelco fue pésimo. Estuvo lloviendo desde el mediodia y no cayó nieve en ningún momento, asi que tratá de informar y no de desinformar como estás haciendo, gracias.

Pablo from Argentina

Muy buen centro de ski!! Tiene pistas para todos los niveles, desde fuera de pista hasta varias pistas para principiantes.
Además, se puede esquiar en los bosques! con vistas del Volcan Lanin y el Lago Lacar. Iconos del Parque Nacional.
Como si fuera poco, esta cerca de San Martin de los Andes, la ciudad más linda y pintoresca de la Patagonia.

I just wanted to reach out and thank all the people that have been contacting us in regards to Chapelco and all the others we have first hand knowledge about. Fabio in the US mentioned us a couple of months ago and we have already helped several people plan sick vacations for next year in Patagonia. If you want info on the Chapelco or any of these resorts contact us at info@toursthroughargentina.com or visit our site soon.
We ski them all and love telling people how to best enjoy them. I am packing the car and headed to mountains so perhaps we will meet along the way !! Bring on the freshies...

Chapelco rules. I traveled last year with the Big Powder guys and it really blew my mind. The best views I had ever seen and all kinds of free ride tree terrain, a nice park, great bars and restaurants and, most of all, good people. Don't hesitate and visit South America.

CASA Tours from United Kingdom

Chapelco is a family orientated mountain with some of the best tree skiing in South America. Its lengthy forests provide a unique opportunity to ski non-alpine terrain in a continent where most of its slopes are above tree line. Chapelco also accesses some fantastic wide-open off-piste terrain from the top of its lifts. The resort has a very homey feel with some great restaurants tucked away on its slopes. Spectacular views of the massive Volcan Lanin and Lascar Lake make for a stunning backdrop. The resort and town are quaint and laid-back and small enough to be charming, but big enough to appease a wide variety of interests and abilities.
