Ski to the Edge of the Earth: Remote Luxury and Unrivalled Snow at Cerro Castor, the Southernmost Ski Destination on the Planet

Venture to the very end of the world, where the Andes mountains meet the Antarctic Ocean and the wild spirit of Patagonia comes to life. Tucked away at the southern tip of Argentina in Ushuaia, Cerro Castor is South America’s hidden ski treasure — offering pristine powder, jaw-dropping views, and a ski season unlike any other.

With its location on the edge of Antarctica, Cerro Castor boasts the longest winter-sports season in the Southern Hemisphere, running from June to late September. Though more intimate in scale than some of its northern counterparts, what Cerro Castor lacks in size, it makes up for in atmosphere, authenticity, and awe-inspiring terrain — much of which is known only to locals and the most adventurous skiers.

About this Experience

Cerro Castor offers 30km of groomed trails, extensive off-piste exploration, and snow so deep it rises to your thighs. Thanks to its southerly latitude, conditions remain reliably cold and dry, creating the perfect alpine playground for skiers and snowboarders of all levels.

From sweeping views over the Beagle Channel to crisp, untouched landscapes few travelers ever see, this is skiing redefined — off-the-grid, far from the crowds, and deeply connected to nature.

Pair your days on the slopes with immersive experiences in Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city. Here, frontier charm meets rugged elegance — from luxury lodges nestled in the mountains to warm evenings by the fire after long days carving down powdery runs.

And if you’re craving more than snow, you’re in the right place. Extend your journey into Patagonia’s wild interior, or, for the ultimate add-on, embark on a luxury expedition to Antarctica, just beyond the horizon.
