ADAPTIVE SKI

Adaptive Ski is a winter sport practiced in the main ski centers of Argentina, such as Bariloche, San Martin de los Andes and Cerro Bayo, among others. The sport can be practiced by people with motor, visual hearing disability or cerebral palsy and, like normal skiing, to learn to ski is necessary to take classes.

Depending on your interest, you can take 2 hours, half day or full day classes. The more time you have to learn, the better the level of your skiing.

At Turismo Acessível, we work with ski foundations and specialized  schools so that your skiing learning experience is the best, providing advice and working with expert instructors. In Bariloche we work with Bariliche Challenge. https://youtu.be/uzFYh-AIBdI
