Las Leñas
South America's off-piste mecca: big vertical, treeless terrain and dry high-altitude snow.

Las Leñas is where serious skiers go: a treeless 3,430 m summit, dry snow thanks to the altitude, and the continent's most famous off-piste — Marte remains legend. The valley is a self-contained resort: ski-in/ski-out hotels, après-ski and nothing else around. There's a beginner area, but the mountain shines from intermediate level up.
Highlights
- ▲South America's freeride mecca (1,230m vertical descents)
- ▲"Marte" run — the country's most famous and feared off-piste
- ▲Self-contained resort with hotels, dining, and nightlife at the base
- ▲Dry, deep snow at altitude (3,430m summit)
