“He “C4 snow park in San Martín de los Andes has all the necessary infrastructure so you can learn to ski, or enjoy a day in the snow,” says Santiago Casanova while at the foot of Chapelco Hill, in the Lanín National Park, he works tirelessly to get everything ready for the winter holidays.
The ski season began with high prices in the ski centers of Argentina and many tourists are looking for cheaper possibilities to enjoy a few days of snow. Given this, snow parks offer rates that are at least 50% cheaper.
For this winter, Neuquén will have two snow parks open, Batea Mahuida and Primeros Pinosalong with a tourist recreational park in El Llano, near Andacollo, and three other parks enabled by National Parks: C4, Laguna Seca Patagonia Point and Arroyo Partido.
“We andWe have been part of the Mapuche Curruhuínca community for a few years now, we are a snow park with all the necessary infrastructure. We have a rental, a restaurant. You can arrive, change on the spot, we have a ski and snowboard school with instructors to be able to take your first steps in the snow, and we are increasingly improving customer service,” said Santiago. It is located 20 minutes from San Martín, in a strategic place 600 meters from the base of
Chapelco Hill. As for the slopes, they are familiar and safe. “We have a track of about 90 meters that has a poma (drag) lifting device. We have the beginner’s slope that is used for the first steps in skiing and snowboarding. They can arrive, take a collective, group class, for an hour and a half.”
As for prices, “we have the best rate to learn to ski, take classes, rent and even the restaurant has rates the same as the town, when normally in the mountains they charge you more,” Casanova said.
Services and prices of the C4 Snow Park
They anticipate that the opening date will be June 25. Passes are generally sold through the site. You can enter and buy with a card or the payment method you want and reserve your places and your class schedule, your ski or snowboard equipment.
“We offer a ski class with the right to use the slope all day, that is our service. The beginner comes and takes his hour and a half of class and then stays skiing all day. “I think we are going to spend an hour and a half in class plus the entire day to use the track for $55,000,” He said and added that in his case, they do not have a high or low season.
Santiago looks at the landscape around him and says that the mountains are covered in white and that winter in his city is awaited with great expectations. They wait for families from all over the country to arrive, and also from outside to experience the snow, which a few days ago covered their place.
“One thing that is good, and is a strong point of the snow park, is that when you go with kids, parents and children share. There are parents who like to ski and take their class and the children and grandparents also come sometimes and stay in the cafeteria. From the deck that is attached to the track they enjoy watching the kids learn, or maybe they go on a snowshoe walk or go to the sledding track. There are many activities, everyone does something and has a good time.”
At the Parador they serve typical mountain meals, dfrom hamburger, goulash, soup. It is a warm place, in a wooden construction.
The environment is also nice to spend the day and finally Santiago emphasizes the human team. “Here they serve you with enthusiasm, there is a spirit of camaraderie, it is very familiar, people have a good time and it shows.”
They have their own parking and that is important, you can leave your car safe and you will enjoy it all day and there is no charge. Available at https://c4parquedenieve.com/ On Instagram @c4parquedenieve.
