Since Bariloche has a big European influence, the pioneers of the area built a logistic of Mountain huts, that allow skiers and trekkers to move across the ridges of Nahuel Huapi National Park
This is an adventure for skiers who want to backcountry ski (ski touring) from hut to hut, spending few days in each hut skiing the goods of each valley (chutes, bowls and -or steeps) in the Andes of Patagonia, Bariloche, Argentina.
