Ushuaia Snowmobiling Tour: Full-Day Snow Activities

Six hours of snow activities ending with Patagonian lamb

A full-day snow activity in Ushuaia combines snowshoeing through pristine valleys, snowmobiling on snowy slopes, and sliding down mountains on culipatines, with a lunch of Patagonian lamb included. A mountain guide leads the group through each activity, and hotel pickup is part of the booking. Snowmobile driving is available only to those 18 and older.

The experience

The day starts with snowshoeing through the snow-capped valleys around Ushuaia, where you walk at your own pace through the quiet landscape. After that comes the snowmobile section: you get behind the wheel yourself (if you're 18 or older) and ride across the snowy slopes. The guide handles the route and timing, so you focus on the ride.

Culipatines, traditional Patagonian sleds, come next. You slide down the hillside on these, which is less about speed and more about the simple fun of moving downhill on snow. Lunch follows, served in the natural setting with Patagonian lamb as the main dish, so you taste the region's signature flavor after hours in the cold. The full day runs six hours from pickup at your hotel to drop-off afterward.

Mountain guides lead in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, and they bring all the gear: snowshoes, snowmobiles, and culipatines are provided. If you need snow clothing, that's available depending on which option you book. The tour suits anyone, regardless of fitness level, and infants can sit on an adult's lap during activities.
