Esnativa Review: 6 Days of Resort Skiing, $4,250 USD I booked a 6-day resort skiing trip with Esnativa, running August 23–30, 2026, for $4,250 USD per person. Esnativa's website is unclear about what's actually included, so I'm laying out the details here. From Esnativa's website, under “What's Included”: The tour includes 7 nights of accommodation, daily expert guiding, lift passes for all ski days, ground transport between resorts, daily breakfast, and select dinners at local Patagonian restaurants. In reality, lift tickets are not included, ground transportation is a pickup truck (fine for the rough road conditions, not so comfortable for a group of grown men), and the “select dinners” are actually a $20 credit and a $25 credit. Food in Argentina is expensive. Esnativa will charge you either $60 or $80 for an airport shuttle from Bariloche to the hotel. A taxi costs around $30. Accommodations were mixed in quality. In Bariloche, we stayed at Casa Van Titter, a slight step up from a rustic hostel. In Villa La Angostura, we stayed at the Gluck, a modern apartment-style accommodation. In San Martín de los Andes, we stayed at the Patagonia Plaza — dated, but passable. Breakfast seems to be standard at hotels across Argentina anyway, so it's barely a selling point. Our guide, Gaspar Lamuniere, was the highlight of the trip. He's a fantastic skier with deep mountain knowledge, and something of a local legend — well connected in the region (see his part in “Sincero,” a ski movie on YouTube). He drove us around, hung out with us, and helped with everything from booking massages to placing complex restaurant orders. There was a general disorganization to the trip. Little things that could have made it a roaring success were missed. A clear itinerary, better organization, and upgraded hotels would have made this trip far better value. If Esnativa is trying to cater to North American skiers, these are the improvements that would create a better experience.

Contraté dos guías dos días diferentes con EsNativa, Miguel y TOmmy. A pesar del mal tiempo, hicieron el máximo esfuerzo para poder disfrutar de una grna día de esquí. Su conocimiento del entorno era excelente. Recomendable!!!

My trip, skiing the Andes, was made unforgettable by my fantastic guides, Hannah, Matti and Jose! I loved skiing every slope with them and could not wipe the smile off my face! Congratulations Esnativa for putting together an amazing experience! Anthea

I had an awesome time w/ the Esnativa team in Chile. My guide Miguel was excellent and got us into some good snow despite challenging conditions. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a good backcountry ski guide in Chile.

great guide, beautiful location.
