26 km from Ushuaia, Castor has what the others envy: stable cold that preserves snow from June to October, runs through lenga forest for every level, and a tidy family-run operation that publishes its full price list and delivers. Combined with Ushuaia, the Beagle Channel and Fuegian cuisine, it makes a complete trip beyond the skiing.
