Cerro Catedral
One of Argentina's most notable ski resorts, Cerro Catedral is
located in the Nahuel Huapí National Park in Patagonia, just 8
miles (13 km) from the picturesque city of Bariloche in the
majestic Andes Mountain Range. The stunning resort offers
breathtaking views over the Nahuel Huapi Lake and the gateway city
of Bariloche, famous for its trekking, climbing, chocolate and
natural pristine beauty.
No other Argentinean ski area rivals Bariloche in nightlife,
dining out or entertainment and, with 600 hectares (1,482 acres) of
skiable snow area, 57 runs of varying difficulties and 27
chairlifts, Cerro Catedral offers some of the best skiing
facilities in South America. Bariloche features a great airport
making getting to Cerro Catedral a quick and easy process - perfect
for families travelling with kids.
Information & Facts
Language
Spanish is the official language of Argentina but English
is understood in the tourist areas.
Money
The Argentinean Peso (ARS) is divided into 100 centavos. The
recent devaluation of the Peso has made Argentina more affordable
for travellers but there is still much economic uncertainty and
travellers are advised to keep an eye on the exchange rate.
Currency can be exchanged at banks and
cambios(bureaux de change) but it is easier to use ATMs,
available in most urban towns, which reflect the current exchange
rate. Credit and debit cards are generally accepted, and US Dollars
and Euros are normally taken everywhere, but some international
cards place limits on transactions. Cirrus cards sometimes aren't
accepted. There can be problems using travellers cheques in rural
areas, although most banks in major cities should accept them. It's
best to take travellers cheques in US Dollars to avoid additional
exchange rate charges.
Time
Local time in Argentina is GMT -3.
