The Main Voyage
Your adventure ignites with a voyage across the deep blue water of Lake Nahuel Huapi, delivering an Alpine Perspective of the Andes that few will ever witness. We dock at the foot of the mountains and begin our approach to a secluded basecamp tucked into one of nature’s hidden sanctuaries. Your first night, you will spend in a hot tent warmed by a crackling wood burning stove, casting a warm light across a luxury setup curated by our local guides.
As the first light hits the peaks, we fuel up with breakfast and head out to chase perfect snow. Experience a quiet, unhurried day in the mountains, no noise no crowds, just wide open vistas and untouched snow. With AAGM-certified guides leading the way, this remote backcountry zone becomes a private playground for you and your crew.
After a full day on the mountain you will journey down to a secluded lakeside cabin resting on private Indigenous land preserved by the same family for generations. After settling in, a rare cultural experience will begin with a traditional gaucho asado prepared by a wood fire underneath the southern sky.
The next morning, breakfast will be served before we begin our journey back to civilization. Hearts full and legs tired from days well spent.
There’s something undeniably magical about this experience. Chasing untouched snow where the mountains kiss the shoreline. It’s raw, refined, luxurious, and wildly exclusive. A blend that only a few ever get to taste. This is more than a ski trip.

“I’ve never experienced Skiing Like this Before. Patagonia Is Second to None.”

Caption’s Vision
Like all true backcountry skiers, I’ve always chased the wild—the untouched, the remote, the places that whisper danger and promise magic. I was obsessed with those dreamlike films from Norway, Iceland, and Alaska, where rugged mountains plunge into icy seas, and skiers carve lines where land meets water. That’s when it hit me: we could do this here, too. So began the adventure into a mountain range where the only way in was by boat.
We explored the lake like pioneers, discovering untouched terrain and endless faces to ski, all surrounded by raw, untamed wilderness that humbles and inspires. It wasn’t just skiing, it was something greater.
I’ve always been drawn to water, but here, it’s something else. You can swim in it, drink it, and feel it running through everything. It’s that pure.
When you combine pristine snow, glacial lakes, and the deep solitude of the wild, something shifts. You don’t just ski—you feel it all. The rhythm of nature, the pulse of your heart, and the freedom you feel from exploring a place so wild, so elemental, makes every turn unforgettable.
