Cerro Bayo

Cerro Bayo is a mountain peak reaching 1,782 meters with a ski area featuring 25 separate runs across its slopes. The facility includes numerous lifts to move visitors up the mountain, with routes designed for all skill levels.

The ski area was established in 1978, marking the region's shift into a winter sports destination. Since then, the site has grown steadily with improved access and facilities.

The mountain is central to how Villa La Angostura sees itself, serving as a gathering point for winter activities that define the town's character. Local families return season after season, making it part of their annual rhythm.

Plan a visit during the ski season from June through September when snow conditions are reliable and the area is fully operational. Bring layers of warm clothing and sunscreen, as high elevation and snow reflection intensify sun exposure.

Some runs descend through untouched forest from the summit all the way to the base, dropping roughly 700 meters through dense vegetation. This mix of skiing and forest scenery is uncommon at many resorts worldwide.
