The biggest ski resort in Argentina, Las Leñas is nestled high in a valley south of Mendoza City. Possibly the most famous ski resort in South America, the resort opened in 1983 and attracts thrill-seeking skiers and daredevils to its extreme runs. Las Leñas is renowned for its beauty as well as its challenge, and ski photography is popular at the resort.Its isolated location means the nearest towns, San Rafael and Malargue, are several hours' drive away. The village of Las Leñas is mostly self-contained, with a number of shops, bars, restaurants and a few hotels, while the nightlife is nearly as famous as the skiing!
