Exclusive Sled-Skiing in Argentina!

Nestled in the heart of authentic Patagonia, where indigenous roots and the spirit of the worldโ€™s great adventurers meet, Mallin Alto was born. At Mallin Alto, the experience of “disconnection” allows you to truly connect with nature and live a unique, unforgettable experience of sled-skiing in Argentina.

The team is composed of professionals who have lived and breathed Patagonia, deeply understanding its region, traditions, and heritage. Travelers from around the globe journey to these legendary lands for their ultimate ski and snowboard holidays.

Mountains & Terrains

Mallin Alto is situated in the Southern Andes, at the heart of Argentine Patagonia, spanning over 6,000 hectares. It boasts the largest ski area in the region, with only 30% of its vast terrain explored and covered. The landscape is incredibly diverse, offering everything from steep and gentle slopes to majestic ridges and skiable forests. Mallin Alto is ideal for advanced skiers and snowboarders with off-piste experience, yet it also caters to beginners, ensuring an intense and enjoyable adventure for all skill levels. Thanks to the diverse orientations of over 10 valleys and expansive ancient forests, skiing is always possible, regardless of the weather conditions.

Snowfalls and storms begin in mid-May, marking the start of the ski season, which runs from early June through the end of October. From mid-June to August, you can experience the best powder snow in Patagonia, thanks to our unique location in a cold, dry steppe transition zone.

The Package

Located 23 km south of San Carlos de Bariloche and just 20 minutes from the international airport, Mallin Alto country house is strategically perched at 1,000 meters above sea level, where the Patagonian steppe meets the Andes. Surrounded by mountains reaching up to 2,400 meters and impressive forests of lengas, it’s an ideal retreat for nature lovers.

Start your day by waking up to breathtaking views of untouched snowy peaks from the comfort of your bed by the fire, followed by a hearty breakfast. The mountain guides provide a safety briefing, equipping each guest with a digital transceiver, probe, and shovel while analyzing the weather conditions to plan the day’s adventure. The skiing begins with UTVs and snowmobiles ready to take you to the slopes. At midday, enjoy a traditional Patagonian lunch at the glamping site, before continuing with your ski or snowboard activities. In the afternoon, unwind with an aprรจs-ski session featuring drinks, handcrafted beers, and a relaxing soak in the hot tub.

Mountain Glamping and Lodge

Mallin Alto offers a glamping experience at 1,700 meters above sea level, featuring 4 domes and lodges of varying sizes that can accommodate up to 15 guests. The facilities include a living and dining area, rooms with private bathrooms, heating, hot showers, and comfortable double and single beds. The glamping site is set in a stunning, remote location with breathtaking views of valleys and rivers.

After a day of skiing, guests can unwind at the glamping site with a selection of signature and regional wines, homebrewed beers, and traditional Patagonian snacks. The hot tub is the perfect way to relax after a long day on the slopes.

The chef prepares delightful menus using organic ingredients, with the option to customize dishes to meet dietary preferences.

The Cats and Sleds

Unlike traditional Cat-skiing services, Mallin Alto offers a unique experience with fast-tracked vehicles and snowmobiles, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in skiing and snowboarding. The thrill of snowmobiles, combined with the comfort and safety of ATV tracks, enhances your skiing adventure. Mallin Alto understands that the mountain experience is more enjoyable with quicker transportation, reducing the time between descents and enabling groups to be organized according to skill level or preference.

With the use of snowmobiles and ATV tracks, you can achieve 15 to 20 descents per day, covering an average vertical drop of 3,500 to 5,000 meters.

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldivesโ€™ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
