The terrain
Our home resort of Catedral offers an extremely diverse selection of terrain. A single run can access high-alpine bowls, narrow chutes, steep faces, trees and low-angle powder fields. Once you get your powder legs under you Skylar, Coulter, Garret, Michelle, Pete, Burnsy, Tony, Nicki & Mauri will lead the skilled and adventurous into the backcountry for the untold magic of Patagonia.
SGT’s guides and staff are all long-time veterans of the region and not only have local knowledge of the landscape and near-by city, but have discovered many of the jewels of the Andes snow kingdom. The SGT staff will led crews utilizing expert training and a zen like ability to find the snow that others have no idea exists. Only with SGT will you be able to unlock the possibilites of these mountains.
What’s the mountain like?
- 1,500 acres in-bounds, 3,000+ acres including sidecountry terrain
- 33 chairlifts
- 3 peaks
- 3,500 foot vertical drop
- Summit tops out at 7,800 feet
All of our coaches have at minimum achieved their Level 1 AIARE avalanche safety certification and are CPR/first aid certified. All of our guides have Level 2 or 3 certifications, have attended guide school and are certified in wilderness first aid.
Catedral is the largest resort in South America – about the size of Mammoth Mountain, California, which the skiing and riding is most similar to, with a wetter, coastal snowpack that sets up very quickly and hangs onto all kinds of faces and rock outcroppings, making for perfect cliff take-offs. With a 3,500 foot vertical rise, the snow gets deeper and lighter as you get higher on the mountain. With over 33 chairlifts including a gondola and a high-speed six-pack, the lift system is fully modern. However, with grooming mostly limited to a bunch of cat tracks circling the mountain, the off-piste experience is closer to that of Silverton Mountain – lots and lots and lots of untracked woods, chutes, and bowls that are barely skied outside of our groups. The skiing is raw and is closer to lift-accessed backcountry than the traditional North American resort experience. We ride everyday using proper backcountry travel protocols and guides, and every client rides with a beacon, shovel, and avalanche probe everyday. Helmets are required for Under-18 participants and recommended for others.
Is there a terrain park?
Yes, the Nubes Terrain Park runs along the Triple Park chairlift, and is usually setup with a solid triple jump line, mini-jib park and a bunch of rails and boxes. In 2012 Catedral resort was purchased by a new ownership group then immediately infused additional funding into the terrain park. In 2013 we expected to see continued advancements and new features. However, we are rarely in the park unless it hasn’t snowed in a few days – expect most of your jumping to occur off of cliffs or off of hand-built booters into knee-deep snow, which is a way better and less risky venue for learning new tricks.
What is the weather like?
Weather in Bariloche is fairly comparable to that of Lake Tahoe – about 300 days of sun a year, snow at night that clears up to blue skies by lunchtime, and moderate temps in the 20’s during the day. Given the elevation gain of the mountain, the base where we stay can be quite a bit warmer. No need to pack for Arctic temps but be sure to bring extra gloves, goggles, and a set of extra pants and a jacket as it can be fairly wet. As well, unlike in the North American winter, daylight stretches from about 9 am to 7 pm.

About Lodging at SGT Argentina
From the clean and comfortable SGT Lodge and it’s indoor/outdoor pool to the luxury apartments nearby, we take pride in providing clean, high-quality accommodations to clients. Breakfast is an American-style affair, with eggs, sausage, potatoes, fresh-baked breads and fruit. Tea is prepared in the late afternoon with a variety of homemade Argentine pastries and sweets, along with a variety of tea and coffee. Dinners are high quality meals served on a rotating menu by a talented waitstaff. There is also a fully stocked bar open just steps away at Jackson Bar in the evening. Adults and Under-18 clients are always lodged in separate rooms (and separate floors, if possible), and SGT will make every effort to accommodate special rooming requests. New accommodations and high-quality bedding will assure a great night’s sleep after a day in the backcountry or a late night out. SASS Global Travel and partner SoulMax are also able to arrange a host of alternative lodging options at the base of Cerro Catedral for larger groups or teams. Contact us for group or team inquiries. Also check out our FAQ section for answers to more lodging questions.
The SGT Lodge @ SoulMax – Catedral
SGT Argentina clients stay slopeside at Catedral, South America’s largest single resort! SGT locates it’s campus at the Soulmax complex, only 300 yards from the base of the mountain and a stone’s throw away from Tage, our favorite pit stop before and after the days on the mountain.
All SGT Argentina packages include our standard lodging at the SGT Lodge @ SoulMax, or upgraded options in luxury apartments located right next door. That means waking up and knowing exactly what’s going on at the mountain, and no daily bus shuttles – maximizing time on the mountain and lowering our environmental impact. Not to mention a host of nightlife options, including the world-famous Mute, located in the Catedral base area.

Shared Lodging vs. Private Rooms
Our base pricing incudes shared lodging at our exclusive facility. No matter your age, we encourage you to consider shared lodging — you’ll make friends fast and become a part of the family even faster. But, we know it’s not for everyone. Most rooms feature 3 or 4 twin beds, private bathroom and simple furnishings. The number of people in your room depends on the session and duration of your stay. Alternatively, you can also pay a lodging upgrade fee and reserve a private room, or a double-occupancy room with a King bed for couples. We also have Loft and 2-Bedroom private apartments available next-door, ideal for groups of 3 or more traveling together.
Rooming Standards & Procedures
Under-18 and Adult clients are always lodged separately, as are male and female clients, unless they have reserved a private room. We are nearly always able to lodge friends and those traveling in groups together — though it’s not guaranteed. If you have special rooming requests, let us know!

Activities
If you’re not skiing, snowboarding, or taking advantage of our class offerings, there is plenty to do. The Soulmax has a full indoor/outdoor pool and game room, and the base area of the mountain offers extensive options, from bars to restaurants to a full-fledged shopping mall. City buses leave for town every hour on the hour, and for 6 pesos, can be ridden into downtown to enjoy all that downtown Bariloche has to offer. Possible excursions include tours of the chocolate museum, hiking around the Circuito Chio, horseback riding, ATV tours, fly-fishing, island boat tours, or day-trips to other resorts like Cerro Bayo or to fun towns like El Bolson. Some excursions will be arraigned with the group while at SGT Argentina but most are available per request. Listed excursions are not included in the trip price. If the snow is good though, you’ll likely be too exhausted for a ton of extra activities.
The SGT Lodge @ SoulMax – Catedral
Amenities Include
- Seconds away from the Catedral gondola
- Built in 2003
- 24/7 Security and Staffed Front Desk
- Private Dining Room for Breakfast, Afternoon Tea & Dinner
- Bar & Lounge Located Next Door
- Indoor/Outdoor Heated Pool and Solarium
- Game Room with Ping-Pong table

About Laundry
We have a laundry service that comes, picks up and returns washed and folded laundry bi-weekly. No need to pack for the entire trip. The service costs 30 pesos, or about $6.50.
Food-wise, Argentina is famous for two things above all others: beef and wine. If you eat red meat, be prepared to be so blown away by the quality of the beef here that you will consider vegetarianism when you return home – no cut of meat in the world can beat the taste of a cut of lomo fresh off the asado! Also one of the world’s most famous regions for Malbecs is only six hours north, so amazing wine is a given. Food is cheap, so eating out a few times while in Argentina is a must, and a lomo and picada are two dishes you have to try. Bariloche is also famous for its chocolates, so a stop through Mamuschkas in downtown is necessary to fill up on every kind of chocolate concoction conceivable.
Argentines like to eat a lot of meat and pasta and seem to find a way to put ham and cheese on everything possible, and is historically not an easy place for vegitarians to navigate. However, Bariloche is one of the world’s top destinations for anglers, and has unbelievable fish, especially trout and salmon. As well, SGT has the flexibility modify its menu for vegetarian clients, and we make sure to have plenty of salads and vegetables on the table as well.

SASS Argentina is a full service, big-mountain, backcountry, skiing and snowboarding camp for all ages. Located at the base of Catedral Alta Patagonia, South America’s largest resort, SASS takes advantage of the full-on winter conditions to crush pow in August. With the help of an all-star cast of professional backcountry guides, clients choose how to spend their day on the mountain alongside a small group that is on the same page in terms of both skill level and desired terrain. Tick the “endless winter” box on your bucket list and join us in Patagonia.
A day at Sass Argentina
Life in our Argentina lodge resembles a backcountry summer camp — clients eat together, ride together and work as a team to travel safely through the backcountry. Many pursue backcountry education; avalanche certifications are offered in-house by certified AIARE and CAA course leaders, along with Spanish, Filmmaking, CPR and Wilderness First Aid. Our private lodge, walking distance from the gondola, features comfortable shared rooms with an indoor/outdoor pool, ping-pong table, media room and private dining room. We also offer private apartments and custom lodging.
Every morning you will be able to choose how you want to spend the day on the mountain. Each coach will have a plan for the day and you get to decide which option suits your desires best. Mountain Operations Director Pete Connolly keeps the groups small and makes sure everyone is on the same page in terms of both skill level and desired terrain. Our groups never exceed a 5 to 1 client to coach ratio, giving you direct access to your guide or coach and keeping the pace up for the entire crew.

2. Website
The website constitutes the fundamental information that LUEX provides to Travellers. The offers, representations, data, software, images, illustrations and information are subject to copyright in virtually their entirety. To the extent that the design, photos, selection and manner of composition and preparation have been prepared by LUEX, the rights are held exclusively by LUEX. Large quantities of information, offers and images are delivered by third parties, in particular also by Service providers. This content is also legally protected by copyright, trademark and competition law and may not be copied, transmitted or used in any manner other than within the scope of the website without the prior express written authorisation of LUEX or the rights holder, if applicable.
LUEX shall make every effort to update information and prices at all times. Nevertheless, there may be differences due to the volume of data, information and parameters. Prices and specifications can be found based on the individually prepared offering. The booking confirmation and the price calculated for the Traveller are definitive.
LUEX is unable to monitor or check all information provided, especially links to other websites. LUEX is unable to maintain and update this content. In this respect, LUEX is unable to assume any responsibility.
3. Intermediary services
LUEX facilitates the provision of travel-related products and services by Service providers in the form of travel modules and services. LUEX is not a tour operator and does not deliver, own or control any of the travel-related products and services on offer. The travel-related products and services are delivered directly by the Service provider. The offerings provided by LUEX are intended for natural persons. In this context, the Traveller / Group leader making the booking must be at least 18 years of age. A Group leader aged 18 years or over must book for under-age travel companions. The offerings are primarily intended for Travellers from Germany. In utilising this offering, the Group leader making the booking promises that they are authorised to act on behalf of their travel companions, in particular to arrange travel-related services and to conclude contractual arrangements in the name of the Travellers. The Group leader is liable to LUEX as the joint and several debtor in addition to the individual Travellers for the payment of the travel-related products and services booked. Legally binding declarations received by the Group leader are deemed to have been received by all Travellers in the tour group.
4. Bookings
To the extent that no further commitment periods have been agreed, the following shall apply: By filling in the booking templates and confirming the booking procedure, the Traveller/Group leader commissions LUEX to finalise the intermediated procurement with the Service provider. A confirmation of receipt from LUEX with respect to an order immediately after the Traveller/Group leader has transmitted the data does not constitute a binding confirmation of the intermediated travel-related products and services.
Immediately upon receipt of the booking, LUEX shall assess the availability of all the booked products and services from the Service provider/s. Following this assessment, the Traveller/Group leader shall be issued a booking confirmation. The Traveller/Group leader is obliged to check this confirmation carefully immediately upon receipt. If information appearing on the confirmation or in another document is incorrect or incomplete, the Traveller/Group leader is obliged to inform LUEX immediately - in text form if possible. Alterations at a later point in time can only be considered if LUEX could reasonably be expected to make such changes. Unreasonable alterations are such changes in particular that involve additional costs for LUEX, unless the Traveller/Group leader reimburses these costs.
A binding agreement between the Traveller and the respective Service provider shall only eventuate when the binding booking confirmation has been transmitted to the Traveller/Group leader; the automatic LUEX confirmation of receipt is not a booking confirmation.
The following applies when a Group leader makes a booking for several Travellers: With their booking, the Group leader confirms that they are permitted to legally represent the group members (Travellers) and that the Group leader is permitted to make and receive declarations on behalf of the group members. If travel vouchers are dispatched, they shall be sent solely to the Group leader for the whole tour group. Payments shall be processed exclusively through the Group leader with debt discharging effect.
The contractual obligation of LUEX is limited to the proper intermediation of the booked travel-related products and services. The contractual obligations of LUEX do not include the delivery of the booked product or service.
5. Payments, cancellation charges
LUEX is entitled to demand payment of deposits and outstanding amounts in accordance with the general terms and conditions as well as the terms and conditions of payment of the Service provider of the mediated product or service. Payment shall be collected as instructed by the respective Service provider. It is possible that the method of payment accepted by the Service provider may differ from the standard modes of payment used by LUEX or in Germany generally. The details are to be found in each of the offerings respectively. To the extent that nothing to the contrary has been agreed, the following shall apply:
Following receipt of the payment request, payment of the deposit indicated on the payment request is to be made in a single payment within one week by means of the payment method indicated. The deposit shall be at least 25% of the total price of the travel-related products or services that have been booked. The outstanding amount for the travel-related products or services is to be paid no later than 30 days prior to the commencement of travel as a single payment by means of the payment method indicated without any further request for payment. In the case of tour groups, the Group leader is responsible for ensuring consistent payment processing. The total price of a tour booked at short notice (within 30 days of tour commencement) is due immediately.
If due payments are not made or not made in full and the Traveller/Group leader does not pay after a reminder with a final due date, LUEX or the Service provider are able to withdraw from the particular agreement, unless LUEX or the Service provider is already responsible for a significant flaw, failing or shortcoming at this time. If the Traveller is responsible for the cancellation, LUEX or the Service provider can demand compensation in accordance with the agreed fixed rates for compensation. If nothing else has been stipulated within the offer/travel confirmation, the fixed rate in the event of the Traveller cancelling more than 30 days prior to departure is 25% of the price of the tour. The Traveller/Group leader is entitled to provide evidence of lower costs or costs that did not eventuate, while LUEX is free to calculate and demonstrate substantially higher costs.
LUEX assumes no currency risks. In order to minimise currency risks, LUEX shall exchange the travel payments received into the target currency of the country of the respective Service provider as soon as possible after receipt of payment. In the event of major currency fluctuations, the Traveller/Group leader shall indemnify LUEX against any proven currency exchange losses. Reimbursements shall be made solely by means of bank transfers in the currency of the recipient. Bank fees and charges shall be borne by the Traveller/Group leader.
If the Traveller/Group leader pays by bank transfer, LUEX can only facilitate a smooth booking process if the Traveller/Group leader uses the designated booking ID in the purpose field of the bank transfer which is specified in the request for payment. Otherwise LUEX may not be able to assign the payment to the correct booking. A failure to do that correctly can result in the cancellation of a trip in the worst-case scenario.
If the Traveller wishes to book not as a private individual, but as a business traveller acting on instructions or as a legal representative, this must be noted already during the booking process and cannot be subsequently altered. This can have taxation consequences and should therefore be carefully considered.
The customer shall receive a payment receipt in the form of a booking confirmation from LUEX showing the total price, either paid or to be paid to the Service provider.
6. Alterations, cancellations, reimbursements
In the event that a confirmed booking is modified or cancelled, LUEX is to be contacted as quickly as possible in this matter such that a possible solution can be sought in consultation with the Traveller/Group leader. Additional costs that result for LUEX or the Service provider shall be borne by the Traveller/Group leader, whereby LUEX reserves the right to invoice a minimum fee of €50 for changes demanded solely by the Traveller.
Should there be a modification or cancellation by LUEX / the Service provider, LUEX shall also contact the Traveller/Group leader as soon as possible and seek a possible solution.
LUEX notes explicitly that as an intermediary LUEX cannot assume responsibility for the performance of the Service provider. In particular, LUEX offers individual travel-related products and services to exotic destinations. The Traveller recognises that booking and processing these products and services are more difficult and that a higher degree of flexibility is expected of these than for mass tourism.
7. Complaints and ratings
Should the Traveller be dissatisfied with an aspect of the travel-related product or service received in a particular case and wish to submit a complaint, they are to approach the Service provider or their representative directly at the location during their current stay so that this person can attempt to solve the problem. LUEX recommends notifying the Service provider in text form that documents the shortcomings, if possible with the aid of photos.
If the problem cannot be resolved during the stay, the Service provider must be contacted within 30 days of returning from the trip. The Service provider should then respond to the correspondence according to the applicable laws and regulations. Receipt should be confirmed in 14 days and a full response received within 28 days. If this is not the case, an explanation for the delay should be received from the Service provider.
Should the travel-related product or service not match the description on the LUEX platform, the customer must approach the Service provider or their representative directly at the location during the customer's stay. LUEX shall support customers with respect to their complaint. LUEX is to be informed of the facts involved in the situation as soon as possible in order to be able to assist in finding a solution.
The Service provider is to be contacted immediately in the event of flight or transportation problems. Customers are to check information and the general terms and conditions given to customers via the Service provider before the commencement of travel.
8. Visa, passport and travel regulations
The Traveller/Group leader shall pay attention to the special visa, passport and travel regulations for the Travellers and their country of destination. LUEX makes every effort to inform customers as comprehensively and accurately as possible. To the extent that LUEX draws attention to particular details, this can only be considered as non-binding information. Considering the high number and frequency of possible amendments to regulations, Travellers/Group leaders are requested to contact the relevant embassy/consulate for the particular destination. In this respect LUEX can assume no responsibility whatsoever for any assurance, guarantee, currency or accuracy of the information. The information provided by Travellers’ ministries of foreign affairs are a reliable source with respect to many travel destinations.
It is the sole responsibility of the Traveller/Group leader to ensure that all Travellers are in possession of all requisite travel documents (passport, Visa, etc.) at the commencement of travel and that all Travellers fulfil the health requirements.
9. Insurance
To the extent that it is not expressly offered, insurance cover does not constitute part of the travel-related products and services offered. LUEX recommends that customers take out travel insurance, in particular travel cancellation cost insurance and in certain circumstances overseas travel insurance, including an overseas health cover component. LUEX names a reliable partner offering the relevant insurance policies to its customers at: http://www.luex.com/info/insurances.html.
10. Liability, responsibility
LUEX depends on the information provided to it by the Service providers with respect to the details of the travel-related goods and services. LUEX has only extremely limited opportunities to check such information with respect to their accuracy and completeness. Consequently, LUEX is unable to provide any guarantees or assurances with respect to the completeness, accuracy or currency of such information. The same applies for any other information made available by third parties.
LUEX is not liable for the availability of the travel-related product or service at the time of booking or for the performance of the booked travel-related product or service by the Service provider.
Within the scope of its performance obligations, LUEX is only liable for any losses that may result in the following cases, irrespective of legal grounds: The statutory regulations shall apply with the following restriction: Liability or minor negligence on the part of LUEX or its vicarious agents is excluded, provided that neither an essential contractual obligation was breached nor is there a case of initial incapacity, impossibility or default on the part of LUEX. Otherwise liability is limited to the value of the travel-related products and services booked, in any case however to predictable and typical losses. The exclusions of liability or facilitation shall apply in the same manner to the executive bodies of LUEX, as well as to their vicarious agents.
Travellers and Group leaders shall be liable to LUEX for each and every reservation/booking that is made in bad faith or with deceitful intent or with erroneous or incomplete personal data. The opportunity to book travel-related goods and services may only be utilised in order to make legal bookings as a Traveller or as a Group leader for a third party. At the same time, in utilising the offerings the Group leader guarantees that they are authorised and are permitted to act in the name of fellow travellers. In the event that there is a breach of these guarantee, the Group leader is liable without limitation to LUEX and their respective Service providers for the losses resulting from the aforesaid person’s actions.
In many countries there are safety standards that differ from those generally found in Europe, Australia or the USA. Travelers/Group leaders are strongly encouraged, also in their own interest, to access information once again immediately before commencing travel in accessible sources, such as the internet pages of the Foreign Office, with respect to changes in the travel regulations and safety warnings for the country of destination.
11. Final provisions
Should business terms and conditions or parts of the agreement be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining parts of the agreements shall not be affected.
Amendments or additions to all agreements, including a divergence from these general terms and conditions, are only possible in text form (written, by fax or e-mail). Oral agreements require written confirmation to be valid.
All communication between LUEX and a Traveller/Group leader is to be undertaken by e-mail if possible. The Traveller/Group leader therefore promises to receive and read e-mails and implement the information/instructions from LUEX accordingly. LUEX must be informed immediately of changes in contact details.
All contractual relations between LUEX, its customers and Service providers are subject exclusively to German law - with the exception of the UN Contract for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) convention. Köln shall be the mutually agreed place of jurisdiction for non-German Travellers.
