Alpine Skiing Class

Ushuaia is one of the best cities in the world for alpine skiing, with one of the longest winter seasons, excellent quality snow, beautiful mountains that are part of the Andes mountain range, stunning views, and an energy that encourages skiing or snowboarding.

Imagine what an incredible experience it would be to take an alpine skiing lesson in such a wonderful place with a highly trained team? Do you like the idea? Then check out the description of this mega experience you can have in the city known as the “End of the World.”

We will pick you up from your accommodation around 9:00 am and head to the Glaciar Martial winter center, where we will go from sea level to an ascent of about 800 meters in altitude. The journey already provides us with a beautiful view of the snowy mountains, lovely hotels and cabins along the way, and a surreal view of the Beagle Channel, which connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific.

Upon reaching the base of Glaciar Martial, first, of course, you will enjoy the view and be amazed by the beauty of the place.

After these moments of appreciation and reflection, the entire group will enter the “Mountain Shelter” and start putting on the equipment, some will take alpine skiing lessons as described here, and others will take snowboarding lessons as per another description.

After being introduced to the skiing gear and equipment, the instructor will take the group to the slope and give some instructions. Then, there will be an hour of practical lessons, and afterward, you will have the freedom to practice skiing on the slope and enjoy this special moment. Lots of photos for memories, falls are part of the process, but it’s not bad to fall on the soft snow, which will undoubtedly result in many laughs.

In the beginner’s lessons, you will learn the basics of alpine skiing, starting on flat ground and then moving on to slopes in the second lesson.

After some practice, it’s time to “fill your stomach” with a delicious lunch. You can choose between a delicious special burger or breaded chicken with mashed potatoes, and the lunch includes a soft drink or water.

After lunch and a break, we move on to the second part of our adventure, a second alpine skiing lesson, this time with a higher level of difficulty as it will be on a sloped track.

Another hour of lessons, and then you will be free to put into practice everything you learned in these two lessons.

Some may feel confident and even return for more advanced lessons, which can be done at the Glaciar Martial winter center or at the Cerro Castor winter center.

At the end of the activities, feeling that it was totally worth it and almost like a professional skier already (laughs), the group will rest for a while and share their experiences. A delicious hot chocolate will be served as a courtesy before we say goodbye to the Glaciar Martial winter center and leave behind one of the beautiful experiences the whole group had in life.

The guide will call everyone to the transportation, and on the way back, you will be taken to your accommodation.
