Bariloche Other Information

The proximity of Cerro Catedral to the 70,000 resident town of Bariloche opens up a wide range of other activities.

An idiosyncrasy of Bariloche is its chocolate shops. There are 10-12 specialists on the high street in Bariloche and smaller shops on the mountainside. Many have a café and eat in options with the opportunity to also see how chocolate is made. Bariloche is highly recommended for all you chocoholics.

There are a number of on the mountain activities for the non-skier including hang-gliding, mountain biking, trekking, sled rides, snow motor biking and snowmobile riding. Off the mountain there is horse riding, cycling, sailing (although the winds on the lake are often extremely changeable) and tours around the local area, which is stunning from every angle and well worth it.

These can all be arranged at the tourist office at the bottom of the slope next to the lift pass booths. Alternatively, there is an all mountain excursions shop in the town of Bariloche which organises activities on and off the mountain.
