About
Los Penitentes lies in the Andes of Mendoza Province, Argentina, beside Route 7 near the Aconcagua approach. The center has about 22 km of marked runs over a vertical of roughly 700 m, and it long served as a base for Aconcagua expeditions. After years closed, it reopened in 2024 as a snow park rather than a full ski resort, with lifts not yet running for skiers.
