Las Leñas is unlike any ski village you have ever experienced. It lies high in the Andes and includes 650,000 acres of gigantic alpine ski terrain. Its architecture is non-traditional using lots of rock with few right angles and gives the impression its buildings are leaning back against the moon - like landscape.
Las Leñas spans two incredible ski domains. There is skiing for all abilities and styles; off-piste skiers will find uncrowded slopes offering enormous potential to enjoy untracked powder at a leisurely pace. Several nearby sights await you in the Los Molles Valley. The thermal waters of the Saldo River and the Pozo Delas Alnimas offer a breathtaking 3000 foot deep underground lagoon. International skiers should not miss the experience of Las Leñas. Your Itinerary Day 1: From your U.S. departure city, arrive Buenos Aires, and transfer planes to Malargua, Argentina. Transfer bus will pick you up at Malargua airport and take you directly to Las Lenas Resort. Balance of day free for acclimatization and relaxation. (D). Day 2: Ski Las Leñas!
