Cerro Otto
For an aerial view of Bariloche and its environs, hoist yourself up the 1,405 meters (4,608 feet) to the top of Cerro Otto. A little red cable car owned by Teleférico Cerro Otto will carry you there in about 12 minutes, and all ticket proceeds go to local hospitals. A free shuttle bus leaves every hour on the half-hour from the corner of Cls. Mitre and Villegas. You can also hike or bike to the top, or drive from Bariloche on a gravel road. In winter, cross-country skis and sleds are available for rent; in summer, hiking and mountain biking are the main activities. There's also a revolving restaurant serving goulash and charcuterie boards, the Confitería Giratoria, on the summit. For a real thrill, try soaring out over the lake in a paraglider.
