Its stone-and-timber Centro C\u00edvico and chalet-style buildings come from the Swiss, German and Italian settlers who shaped the town, and the main street is lined with chocolate shops that turn out bars, truffles and hot chocolate by the bucket.\r\n\r\nIt is a year-round destination. In summer, the trails lead to mountain huts above the treeline, the lakes are calm enough for kayaking and swimming on warm days, and the roads around the lake are made for cycling. In winter, Cerro Catedral, one of South America's biggest ski resorts, is just outside town.\r\n\r\nPlan on four or five days. The town itself is a base rather than a sight: the reasons to come are the viewpoints, lakes and trails around it, plus the famous Seven Lakes Road north towards San Mart\u00edn de los Andes.","hw_hub_city_facts":"Language | Spanish\r\nCurrency | Argentine peso (ARS).

Then hire a bike and cycle the loop past the grand Llao Llao hotel, small beaches and viewpoints.\r\n\r\nIn summer, hiking is the main event. The walk to Refugio Frey from the Cerro Catedral ski base takes most people around four hours one way and ends at a hut under granite spires, where you can stay the night. Longer routes link huts across the mountains for multi-day treks.\r\n\r\nBoat trips cross the lake to Isla Victoria and the Bosque de Arrayanes, a forest of cinnamon-coloured myrtle trees, and kayaking on the calmer bays is a lovely way to spend a morning.

You can walk up Cerro Campanario rather than taking the chairlift, and the trails around Llao Llao Municipal Park lead through forest to small beaches and lookouts. On a warm summer day, the lake beaches along Avenida Bustillo are free, if cold.\r\n\r\nAnd while chocolate is not free, many of the big chocolate shops on Calle Mitre hand out samples.","hw_hub_city_free_points":"Centro C\u00edvico | The stone square with the lake behind\r\nWalk up Campanario | About 30 minutes, skipping the chairlift\r\nLlao Llao park | Forest trails to beaches and lookouts\r\nChocolate samples | Handed out in many shops on Calle Mitre","hw_hub_city_free_tag":"free","hw_hub_city_free_more":"All free things to do in Bariloche","hw_hub_city_food_title":"Eating and drinking","hw_hub_city_food_body":"Chocolate first.

Bariloche has dozens of breweries, from city-centre taprooms to big brewpubs on the lakeside road with views to match. Food leans hearty: trout from the lakes, Patagonian lamb, wild boar and venison, fondue in winter, and smoked meats and cheeses from local smokehouses.\r\n\r\nIn Colonia Suiza, a village on the Circuito Chico founded by Swiss settlers, the traditional curanto is cooked in a pit with hot stones on certain days, with a craft market alongside.

The other is the famous student scene: Argentina's school-leavers come here on their end-of-school trip, mostly in winter and around the start of summer, and fill the big clubs in town.\r\n\r\nIf you want a quieter night, choose a taproom or a bar on the lakeside road. If you want to dance, the clubs open late, like everywhere in Argentina, and are busiest during the student season.\r\n\r\nIn ski season, apr\u00e8s-ski at Cerro Catedral's base village gets going in the late afternoon before people head back to town.","hw_hub_city_nightlife_points":"Breweries | Taprooms in the centre and on the lakeside road\r\nStudent season | Big clubs packed with school-leavers, mostly in winter\r\nApr\u00e8s-ski | At the Catedral base village in season\r\nTiming | Clubs from 02:00, as everywhere in Argentina","hw_hub_city_nightlife_tag":"nightlife","hw_hub_city_nightlife_more":"All nightlife guides for Bariloche","hw_hub_city_transport_title":"Getting around","hw_hub_city_transport_body":"City buses run along the lake and up to the ski resort, and you need a SUBE card to ride them.

Buses get crowded in peak season, so allow time.\r\n\r\nFor the Circuito Chico, many people take the bus out and rent a bike for the loop. To go further, such as the Seven Lakes Road or Cerro Tronador, a hire car or a tour is the practical choice.\r\n\r\nThe airport is about 14km east of the centre, with flights from Buenos Aires and other cities.

October, November and April are quieter and good value.\r\nHow do I get around Bariloche? | City buses with a SUBE card.
