The Center also has cross-country or nordic skiing slopes for about 32 kms. The ski has a predominant place in the center, but it is not the only thing you can do there. In Caviahue you can perform all activities related to snow that you imagine and more.
For those who do not want to ski they can walk on snowshoes. You can also, on a winter afternoon, go out to feel the icy wind as you travel the white landscape aboard a snowmobile. Or feel an inhabitant of the Arctic and let a sled driven by dogs drive you through forests and mountains.
In the walks you can enjoy the snowy araucarias landscape, passing waterfalls, lakes and lagoons up to mountain shelters and enjoy a delicious hot chocolate or a nice dinner with typical Patagonian dishes.
Similarly there is the possibility of hiking the volcano Copahue, in vehicle for snow, walks to the crater and down in different skiing tracks of 7,000 meters each.
The Center offers excursions to the Copahue's Baths in snowmobiles, with the inclusion of a thermal bath, accompanied by medical and paramedical and the alternative, for those who wish, to make the return on skis.
For little ones there is a Snow garden and nursery "Ositoy Hue". The ski instructors and baby-sisters will make them do their first steps in this sport.
