Cerro Catedral, Mountain ski resort in Patagonia, Argentina
Cerro Catedral is a mountain in Río Negro Province in Patagonia, Argentina, rising to approximately 2,400 meters (7,874 feet). The ski resort spreads across a large terrain with runs of varying difficulty levels and hiking trails available in warmer months.
The mountain was developed as a venue for international winter sports events in the early 2000s. Since then it has grown into a major winter sports destination for the South American region.
The mountain took its name from the rock formations at its summit that resemble Gothic cathedral spires. Visitors can spot this distinctive outline from various vantage points in the valley below.
The site is well served by lift systems and offers lodging options at the base and at higher elevations. Conditions vary considerably between seasons, so it is wise to check current information before your visit.
The area receives regular moisture from Pacific weather systems that create stable and frequent snowfall. This makes it a more reliable winter destination than many other high-altitude locations in South America.
