Perched high in the Argentine Andes, Las Leñas is a name spoken with reverence by serious skiers, thanks to the legendary steep off-piste that fans out beneath the Marte chair. Its lofty altitude keeps the snow cold and reliable deep into the southern winter, while a compact base village hums with energy after the lifts close.

Las Leñas is built around a genuine slopeside base village, so most of its hotels sit right at the foot of the lifts with true ski-in, ski-out access. You can step out of your room, click in, and ride straight onto the snow.
Las Leñas rewards strong skiers and freeriders above all: the upper mountain is a vast, exposed playground of couloirs, bowls and open faces, much of it reached by traversing out from the Marte chair. The base is a purpose-built resort village set on its own at the head of the valley, with the nearest town, Malargüe, roughly 70 km away, which gives the place a focused, faraway feel. Lower down there are gentler runs for cruising, but the mountain's character is unmistakably advanced and remote.
