Ushuaia is known as the end of the world, but its winter is also the beginning of many adventures. Its southern location, surrounded by mountains and with large open valleys covered in peat bogs, gives it something that few destinations have: safe, excellent quality snow for months. It is one of the best places in the country to enjoy the snow, in open, white and spectacular settings.
Thanks to these conditions, Ushuaia allows you to experience winter in all possible ways: from the adrenaline of snowmobiles to the simple pleasure of lying in the snow and playing like a child.
Options to enjoy the snow in Ushuaia
Snowmobiles
In Ushuaia, you are not a passenger: you drive your motorcycle yourself. With the guidance of instructors, you will travel through snowy valleys and forests, accelerating over the target and reaching places that are only accessed in winter. Ideal for those seeking adventure.
Sleighs and culipatín
A classic that never fails. In Ushuaia there are ideal slopes for sledding or culiskating, enjoying speed and snow in its most fun form. Laugh, fall and start again: that's the idea.
Hiking with crampons
Explore ice and firm snow trails without slipping. With crampons on your boots, you can walk safely and reach places that would otherwise be impossible to access.
Snowshoes
Walking on deep snow without sinking is possible. With snowshoes, you can explore silent forests and winter landscapes at your own pace, discovering corners covered in white.
Cross-country skiing
Skiing can be calm too. In Ushuaia, cross-country skiing is a different way of sliding on the snow, traveling along flat paths between forests and snowy valleys. Perfect for those who want to try something new without big slopes or complicated equipment.
Playing in the snow: for children and not so children
Sometimes all you need is the snow itself. In Ushuaia, winter invites us to play like when we were kids: throw snowballs at each other, draw angels when they fall on their backs, build a doll or let them fall down a hill and slide while laughing. Because in the snow, there is no age to have fun.
Flavors of winter: the most anticipated break
After being in the snow, the body craves warmth. In mountain shelters and restaurants you can sit in front of a window, watch the snow fall and enjoy hot chocolate, homemade soup or typical Fuegian dishes such as lamb, stews or local fish. Eating in the mountains is also part of the experience.
Winter in Ushuaia: snow for everyone
In Ushuaia, snow is an open invitation. It doesn't matter if you are looking for adrenaline, exploration, games or simply a moment of rest in front of the white landscape: winter at the end of the world has something for you.
