How to get to Caviahue: by car, by air and parking

Caviahue sits in Neuquén, Argentina, at 1600–2200 m. Getting there mostly comes down to altitude and whether you're driving or flying in — here's the practical part.

Getting to Caviahue by car

With 1600–2200 m of elevation, the access road often requires winter or M+S-rated tyres, and snow chains can be mandatory on heavy snow days. Check road conditions before you drive up and build in extra time for the last few kilometres of mountain road.

Getting to Caviahue by air

The reference airport is Presidente Perón (NQN), in Neuquén — from there, it's 4h by car.

Parking in Caviahue

Most resorts have paid parking right by the lifts and free options a bit further out with a shuttle. Arriving early on busy days (weekends, holiday weeks) is the difference between parking right at the slopes or walking quite a bit further.
