Valle de Las Leñas is situated on the North-South point of the Cordillera de Los Andes middle zone, inside the department of Malargüe, in Mendozas province.

Its topographical characteristics benefit the development of a smooth template weather, with an average temperature of 16 degrees-(60.8º F) (it averages 23 degrees-(73.4º F) in summer) and a low humidity index (the annual rain average is around 1.000 mm, most of it snow).

A deep blue sky and no clouds in most part of the summer, are the distinct characteristics of Las Leñas summer. This dry weather and the protection of the massifs, allow for the maintenance of great snow masses and glaciers at high level, even during the summer.

You can get there by plain, car or bus:

By Plain: From Buenos Aires, there is a direct flight departing from Jorge Newbery Airport and arriving to Malargue Airport. The flight takes approximately 1 and a half-hour. There is a one-hour-bus journey from the airport to Las Leñas Valley.
You can also take a scheduled flight to San Rafael, and travel overland to Las Leñas.
From the United States and the rest of America and Europe, you can take scheduled flights to Buenos Aires, and take possible connections to Malargue or San Rafael.
From Brazil, during high season there are direct flights from Sao Paulo to Malargue.

By Car: Las Leñas is the nearest Ski resort from Buenos Aires, and probably the only one that is worth it to go by car during a long weekend (although cars are not necessary during your stay in Las Leñas).
The journey takes approximately 11 hours.
From Buenos Aires, take Road 7 till Junín; from there, take Road 188 till General Alvear and then Road 143 till San Rafael; finally, take Road 144 till reaching el Sosneado, get to Las Leñas Valley through Road 222 (20 km after passing Los Molles)

By Bus: Due to the distance that separates Las Leñas from most of the big cities of Argentina, you can take a bus (sleeping car preferably) after a working day, and sleep (as much as possible) during the night and wake up the next morning at your arrival to the Valley, without wasting work or holiday time.
