This alpine style town has an abundance of boutiques, shops, pubs, tea houses, discos and restaurants. There are a variety of hotels, most within short walking distance of the main plaza.
Skiing in Bariloche can be combined easily with an All Argentine program or with a Lake District Crossing and a Chile program.
