A pleasant experience as long as you do not have a disability

They do not give priority to people with a disability certificate. According to them, it is because it is full of pregnant women and babies and they cannot give priority to everyone in lines of more than 30 minutes. As if having a disability and being backed by a national law were comparable to being with small children during winter break. The machine that transports the wheelchair is not working, and it is not a recent issue. So those who are disabled will not be able to go up. Regrettable and discriminatory

Operator response

Gracias por tu comentario. Enviaremos su review al Cerro para que lo tengan en cuenta. Sin embargo, le cuento que este cerro esta administrado por una asociación civil que dona su 100% de ganancias a hospitales de buenos aires y bariloche. Esto no quita que haya tenido problemas, pero sin duda no tiene que ver con situaciones de discriminación. Tengo entendido que hay rampas y accesos preparados a pesar de ser una cumbre de un cerro... igualmente transmitiremos su sugerencia. Saludos

Beautiful views

You can go by car, there is parking there which is included in the price. The cable car is a very nice experience to live. It lasts about 15 minutes until you reach the top of the hill. From there you walk and you can see Bariloche from the heights. Highly recommended.

Holidays in Argentina

After flying 21 hours on 3 different flights, I finally arrived in Bariloche, Patagonia, Argentina. I was a guest of friends from Texas, in a huge 5 bedroom VRBO, situated in the lovely national forest on a beautiful golf resort. Holiday celebrations started with a home gathering of a group of folks from many places. The location was near the towering Andes Mountains and high mountain lakes. Stunning scenery, fabulous food, WONDERFUL wines and friebdly people. Bariloche is famous for it's chocolate shops, which filled my carryon for my return trip. This place has activities galore, hiking, biking, kayaking, and in winter a skiers paradise. Discover Patagonia!

Worth the sight!

It is a good walk to have a nice view of the whole city, Lake Nahuel Huapi and its surroundings. It is advisable to buy this direct tour in the offices in the center of Bariloche (Mitre con Villegas). Buses leave every hour for Otto Hill. If there is bad weather (wind), it is suspended. I had a hot day and it was somewhat suffocating to go in the cable car as it is very small and has practically no ventilation (lasts about 10-15 minutes the stretch). I had lunch in the confectionery with a very nice view and it is very novel that it goes around all the time. By the way, it is worth going at least in summer!

Adventure in the Heights!

It was a lot of fun, climbing and descending in the cable car, additional we did the zip line, which because I was not so tall I dared. The museum very interesting

Spectacular views and very good lunch!

We took the one-way telesférico ride to the top where we enjoyed the 360° views, then had very good lunch in the rotating, panoramic café before hiking back down. The hike down starts along the road, but across from the Nordic ski location we turned left down a foot trail that ended not far from the telesférico.

Vistas Maravilhosas

We arrived early, 10:00 and didn't wait even 20 minutes in line until we got up. We buy the tickets on site, being much cheaper than any agency (you can trust). The rotating confectionery is a plus to warm up and is characteristic of the place (the queue did not take 10 minutes). The view is wonderful and a unique experience. When we got down, it was already 1:00 and the queues were huge! Then stay the tip!

The hill with rotating cafeteria

To get to Otto Hill you go up by cable car with a closed cabin. Recommended a clear day to appreciate the views, I could not see them because it was raining and everything was cloudy. But they have a circuit to entertain, like a climbing wall, a maze, a suspension bridge and zip line.
