Fancy a steak and a glass of Argentinian red after your powder run? Course you do. Welcome to South America.

The best time to visit the Andes is in July and August. While there are plenty of resorts to explore, Las Leñas in Argentina is one of the most snowsure in the country.

It’s very isolated – 750 miles from Buenos Aires – so it’s best to catch a charter flight to Malargue and then a one hour transfer up to the resort.

Take the Marte Chair up the mountain for 15 miles of mind-blowing terrain to explore. Watch out though because this chair frequently closes because of high winds and too much snow!

American tour operators Powder Quest will get you organised with a guide, if it’s your first time to Argentina.
