Description
Protected by a beautiful araucaria forest, this Snow Park is chosen by the inhabitants of Río Negro and Neuquén’s High Valley and its surroundings to enjoy the snow, since Primeros Pinos is the closest winter destination to Neuquén Capital City.

Located 31 miles away from Zapala city and 144 miles from Neuquén city, you can get to it following National Road No. 22 and then taking Provincial Road No. 13, both totally paved until Primeros Pinos.

Note that the Snow Park is currently open only during weekends, and once winter holidays start, it will function everyday. We recommend that you take something hot to drink and/or eat with you, since the inn is closed for the moment.
