Backcountry Skiing in Bariloche ~ Women’s Ski Touring and Yoga Retreat

You should fly into Bariloche on the retreat start date (if it starts on the 16th, you should be there on the 16th – ideally before 1 pm) and fly out on the last day, anytime.

We can help with additional accommodation if you’d like to come earlier or stay longer.

We can also organize an airport transfer (30$) to the LUX house.

You will first fly into Buenos Aires and then take a domestic flight to San Carlos De Bariloche.

You can reach Bariloche from Buenos Aires with just a 2-hour flight, making it the perfect add-on as a multi-stop trip with many affordable flight options.

You should be an intermediate to advanced skier or snowboarder comfortable on off-piste terrain. This retreat includes backcountry touring, so prior experience is a plus—but if you’re new to touring, we’ll guide you through it with care and safety.

To fully enjoy this Bariloche guided backcountry adventure, you need to have a very good level of fitness. You will be skinning for a few hours every day and skiing in variable terrain. You must be able to manage controlled descents in challenging conditions and have the stamina to ski tour for multiple days in a row. All participants should be very experienced on groomed runs and be able to carry a loaded daypack.

Backcountry ski and snowboard conditions are dependent on weather and snowfall. Lux Snow retreats are planned during seasons and locations with historically reliable snow conditions. However, snowfall cannot be guaranteed. In the event of insufficient or unsafe snow conditions, we will pivot to a curated wellness and adventure experience that may include hiking, spa, yoga, culinary events, and cultural excursions.

No refunds are offered based on weather. However, if core skiing days are fully cancelled due to an extreme lack of snow, guests might receive a goodwill credit toward a future Lux Snow retreat.

Most travelers from the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Mexico do not need a visa for stays under 90 days. Still, we recommend checking your country’s specific requirements before booking.
