White Riding in the Snow — Lago Hermoso Ski Resort

3 hours

Easy

Explore winter Patagonia on horseback: deep silence, clean air and snowy landscapes that seem straight out of a painting.

📍Horses and mountains of the Lago Hermoso Ski Center — Lanín National Park

  • Between snowy mountains, centuries-old lengas and the brightness of the lakes, this corner of southern Argentina offers a unique environment where nature is preserved intact. This is where equestrian trails are born that dive into virgin snow, leading travelers to panoramas that are unreachable on foot during winter.



✨ What makes this experience unique

  • 🐎Patagonian horses trained for snow
    Gentle and strong, they move forward with firm steps on the snow, guided by Baqueanos who know every secret of the mountain.
  • 🏞️Access to hidden landscapes
    Ice-covered streams, white slopes that crisp under the hamlets and viewpoints with incomparable views of Lake Hermoso and the mountain range.
  • 🔥Mountain refuge break
    Halfway through the tour, a warm retreat greets you with a burning fireplace and a hot drink that comforts your body and spirit.
  • 📷Scenes that look like movies
    The contrast of the fur against the snow and the stillness of the woods give images that are recorded without the need for a filter.
  • 🧘‍♂️Authentic connection
    The rustling of snow under the hooves, the warm vapor of a horse's breath in the cold air... moments that feel like a secret shared with the mountain.




“It's like riding in a white dream, where everything is calm and every step is perfect.” — Mariano, Córdoba

         To consume in shelters or to take with you a souvenir.
      • 💡 Tip extra: If you're cold, bring spare socks or a thin blanket for breaks. Small details that transform your experience.
