Las Lenas, located in the Yellow Firewood Valley (named after the indigenous shrub, Adesmia Pinifolia) of Central Western Argentina, is one of the largest, most formidable, and exotic ski destinations in the world!
Avid skiers looking to expand their resume, thrill seekers, and international travel enthusiasts alike have been flocking to this resort since its inception in 1983. Since opening, Las Lenas has become one of the most significant and developed ski centers in the Southern Hemisphere boasting a base area lodging capacity of over 3,000 pillows between its 6 slopeside hotels and multiple apartment buildings. There are 14 lifts granting access to over 9,000 skiable acres inbounds as well as endless back country acreage (some estimateover 200,000 acres) and off piste opportunities.
For those who also want to soak up some culture and perhaps some après ski the resort and the valley at large has an abundance of restaurants and nightlife, ample shopping, and even a museum to visit as well as other winter related non skier activities.
It’s no wonder that Vail Resorts has partnered with Las Lenas to accept the Vail Resorts Epic Pass adding another dimension to the value and utility of this pass for opposite season ski enthusiasts.
