If you’re planning a snow vacation—whether to ski at Cerro Castor or enjoy a hike around Lago Escondido—it’s essential to know what clothes to pack so you can stay comfortable, protected from the cold, and make the most of your experience. The right clothing can make the difference between having a great time and shivering, so we’re bringing you the best tips to help you prepare for the snow like a pro.
The best way to dress for the snow is in layers, because it allows you to adjust according to the activity and the temperature.
Base layer (thermal): It fits snugly against the body and retains heat while wicking away moisture. Avoid cotton.
Mid-layer: This can be a fleece or a lightweight jacket that retains body heat.
Outer layer: It should be waterproof and windproof. This layer protects you from snow, wind, and moisture.
Snow jacket: Make sure it's waterproof, breathable, and insulated. Look for one with a hood that fits well and has easily accessible pockets.
Ski pants: In addition to being waterproof, they should have vents to prevent overheating while you're moving.
Gloves or mittens: Cold hands can be unbearable. Gloves should be insulated, waterproof, and allow you to move your fingers freely.
Ski goggles: They protect your eyes from snow, wind, and UV rays. Make sure they're high-quality and fit properly.
On tours such as Lago Escondido Experience You'll be spending several hours outdoors, walking, stopping to take pictures, and enjoying the scenery. That's why it's important:
Since you'll be spending more time exposed to the cold (and not always on the move), choosing the right clothes makes all the difference: you'll feel the cold less and enjoy the experience much more.
The right clothing can completely transform your experience in the snow. It's not just about staying warm—it's about comfort and enjoyment.
Whether you choose to ski at Cerro Castor or explore the incredible scenery at ski resorts, being well-prepared will allow you to focus on what matters most: enjoying Ushuaia to the fullest.
