We find in San Carlos de Bariloche mild mountain type weather. Temperatures tend to be quite variable and there’s wide amplitude between dia and night.
During summer the area enjoy great weather, warm to hot during the dia with cool Noches. Cold and snowy winter lets people enjoy sport in the Mount Catedral Ski center, where temperatures are always lower due to the higher altitude which helps keeping good snow in the courts. Rains are more common during fall. October and November are the windiest months. |

The entire extension of the Lake District can be visited all year round. It depends on the season the activities you will enjoy. Prices rise during the winter season, when people go to Bariloche for skiing; accommodation is a bit tricky as many are booked in advance. Prices in summer are cheaper and it’s usually the time when argentines take their holiDías. |
|
If you are planning to visit Bariloche, we recommend staying at least three Noches. If you idea is to travel all along the Lake District, we recommend at least five or six Noches. Many people in this area rent a car and combine the visit to both, the Argentine and Chilean sides in about ten Días. |
