When to go to Bariloche?
Wooden chalets, chocolate shops and a turquoise lake at the foot of the Andes: Bariloche looks transplanted from the Alps and tastes entirely Argentinian. Cerro Catedral takes the skiers in winter and the walkers the rest of the year, while the chairlift up Cerro Campanario delivers Nahuel Huapi in one go. The Seven Lakes road heads north into wilder country.
