Bariloche’s winter tourism spikes to 85% hotel occupancy
During the 2026 winter holiday season, Bariloche in Río Negro, Argentina, recorded an 85 % hotel occupancy rate. The city’s airport handled up to 35 daily flights arriving from Argentine locations as well as Brazil and Chile, underscoring its role as a major winter destination. Snow cover enabled the Cerro Catedral ski resort to keep pistes open and expand skiable terrain. The surge in visitors supports the 55th edition of the National Snow Festival, scheduled for 13‑16 August 2026, which will feature performances by Jorge Rojas, Nahuel Pennisi, Ángela Leiva, Luck Ra, Turf and Los Auténticos Decadentes. Tourism activity is generating a significant economic boost for the region.
