Cerro Castor

Cerro Castor is a summit in Tierra del Fuego that reaches 958 meters above sea level, with slopes descending through varied terrain. Ski runs and winter sports facilities take advantage of this southern Andean location to serve visitors year-round.

Winter sports development began in the late 20th century and transformed the region into a tourist destination. This represented an important shift for Tierra del Fuego, which had seen little visitor activity before.
