Buenos Dias!
During south hemispher winter 1995, while travelling through different ski resorts between Chile and Argentina, I discovered this jewel of the Andes called “Las Leñas”. Since then, I had to go back every yearand this is how I have explored all the hidden corners of this paradise of powder and freeride.
Las Leñas is located in the state of Mendoza, the Argentinean wine capital.
In between Pampas and high Andes Cordillera, surrounded by peaks over 5000 m, with no trace of human passage.
Las Leñas have the advantage of heavy snowfalls with more than 10 m. of packed snow for the 2005 austral winter. The lifts of the resort allow us to ride without even pushing a vertical drop of 1200mts, from numerous couloirs to wide open slopes. The landscape is totally different from the scenery of the Alps, at Las Leñas you ride with the condor over your head.
At the end of August every year, a snow storm called “Santa Rosa” spreads usually an average of 3mts of fresh powder over the range. That is why the beginning of September is just the perfect time to be there.
We stay in a 4 stars hotel with swimming pool, hot tubs and sauna. It’s exactly what we need after a good day of freeride!
We will enjoy the good argentinian meat cooked on wood fire (assado) and regional delicious wine.
