    A pleasant experience as long as you do not have a disability

    They do not give priority to people with a disability certificate. According to them, it is because it is full of pregnant women and babies and they cannot give priority to everyone in lines of more than 30 minutes. As if having a disability and being backed by a national law were comparable to being with small children during winter break. The machine that transports the wheelchair is not working, and it is not a recent issue. So those who are disabled will not be able to go up. Regrettable and discriminatory

    Response from the operator: Gracias por tu comentario. Enviaremos su review al Cerro para que lo tengan en cuenta. Sin embargo, le cuento que este cerro esta administrado por una asociación civil que dona su 100% de ganancias a hospitales de buenos aires y bariloche. Esto no quita que haya tenido problemas, pero sin duda no tiene que ver con situaciones de discriminación. Tengo entendido que hay rampas y accesos preparados a pesar de ser una cumbre de un cerro... igualmente transmitiremos su sugerencia. Saludos

    Beautiful views

    You can go by car, there is parking there which is included in the price. The cable car is a very nice experience to live. It lasts about 15 minutes until you reach the top of the hill. From there you walk and you can see Bariloche from the heights. Highly recommended.

    Holidays in Argentina

    After flying 21 hours on 3 different flights, I finally arrived in Bariloche, Patagonia, Argentina. I was a guest of friends from Texas, in a huge 5 bedroom VRBO, situated in the lovely national forest on a beautiful golf resort. Holiday celebrations started with a home gathering of a group of folks from many places. The location was near the towering Andes Mountains and high mountain lakes. Stunning scenery, fabulous food, WONDERFUL wines and friebdly people. Bariloche is famous for it's chocolate shops, which filled my carryon for my return trip. This place has activities galore, hiking, biking, kayaking, and in winter a skiers paradise. Discover Patagonia!

    Cerro Otto Cable Car: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bariloche.

    How much does Cerro Otto Cable Car cost?

    +

    Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bariloche usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cerro Otto Cable Car take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bariloche is not rushed.

    Is Cerro Otto Cable Car worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bariloche, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cerro Otto Cable Car?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Cerro Otto Cable Car suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cerro Otto Cable Car?

    +

    Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bariloche can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bariloche and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cerro Otto Cable Car start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bariloche within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Bariloche?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bariloche experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Trekking day in the mountains close to Bariloche, Fly Fishing Bariloche, German Footprint & Nazi presence. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Bariloche?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Bariloche?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
