| Gentileza Cerro Mirador |
Located at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level, inside the Magellan National Reserve, Cerro Mirador has a beautiful and spectacular view of the city of Punta Arenas, the Strait of Magellan and Tierra del Fuego.
On the peak and the Mount Fenton side there is good infraestructure and narrow powder runs, through the trees, which offers a challenge. Though its near the city, the access road is not paved. Tire chains are recommended for less than ideal weather conditions.
The center has 12 runs, the majority of a medium level of difficulty, with a special texture of snow because of the wind. It is equiped with a 1200 meter double chair lift and a drop of 50 meters.
There is a lodge with a restaurant, ski school, shuttles, equipment and ski doo rentals.
