Its name derives from the mountain shape, which is a wide glacier above a circular basin, where all the ski runs join at the same point at the base. In the 1930’s, pioneer skiers from the region discovered this attractive natural formation and began to visit the mountain. La Hoya offers up trails for all abilities. One outstanding feature at La Hoya is the off-piste skiing and riding.

La Hoya
By David Johnson Owner of CASA Tours

Located deep in the heart of the Patagonian Andes, La Hoya Ski Center is a gem especially for off-piste enthusiasts. Situated above the town of Esquel in the Chabut province of Southern Argentina, La Hoya reminds me of Colorado’s Arapahoe Basin 30 years ago.

La Hoya receives some of the driest Andean powder in all of South America and its upper lifts bring skiers and snowboarders to an enormous cirque where all types of terrain can be accessed via short traverses along the bowl’s ridgeline.

Couloirs with jagged teeth piercing through the snow are some of the most dramatic aesthetics of this ski area. Large open bowls with various cornice drops to enter provide plenty of hucking potential.

The area at La Hoya offers stunning views into Los Alerces National Park and the surrounding Andes mountains stretch endlessly from the summit’s vista. At the end of the day celebrate your turns with a tasty Aracaunia, one of Patagonia’s finest micro-cervezas, at the Mate Bar. Esquel offers many delicious restaurants to choose from and one can certainly sample scrumptious Patagonian lamb grilled on an open flame here.
