Discover the Nordic Night Tour

The Nordic Night tour is one of the most incredible ways to enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience in Bariloche and create memories you will never forget.

That said, it is worth noting that it is only available in winter. So get ready to learn more about this nighttime excursion that ends with a delicious gastronomic retreat.

Discover the Nordic Night tour

The Noche Nordica is a truly unique nighttime experience involving a snowmobile ride and a dinner in the mountains. It is no wonder it is one of the most sought-after tours by visitors.

It lasts around four hours and is a must for every traveler who enjoys something special and different, set in a retreat amid trails through the snowy forest.

The tour runs along one of the slopes of the beloved Cerro Otto. There is also transportation from your accommodation to the start of the trail.

Along the way, you will see plenty of snow. And remember that only those over 17 may drive the quad bikes, but children aged 6 and up can ride along as passengers.

During the journey through the snow, there are several stops to take in the views and snap plenty of photos.

At the end of the route, once you reach the mountain, a dinner is served that begins with appetizers well known in the region, such as cheeses, wine, and desserts.

How does it all happen?

The Nordic Night tour begins with the crossing or transfer.

Once you are with the guides, they explain everything about the route and how the quad bikes work until you reach the start of the trail. The vehicles currently used are the latest from Can-Am Bombardie.

The trail then begins and, halfway through, the Noche includes a rest stop at The Bonfire, in a place full of Patagonian legends. The idea is to give visitors a chance to catch their breath and take in more of their surroundings.

At this spot, there is also a tasting of wine or hot chocolate. This is also where many stop to play in the snow and take lots of photos.

After completing the second half of the tour through the forest, you arrive at the mountain refuge restaurant. In this cozy spot, the whole team is ready to welcome every guest.

Then a complete gourmet dinner is served with the most delicious ingredients from the region. All of it paired with the reserve wines from Bodegas Del Fin Del Mundo. Finally come the treats: toasts with champagne and wines.

The dinner includes a starter, main course, dessert, coffee and other drinks, chocolates, and champagne.

Nordic Night tour: what is included in the package

The Noche Nordica includes round-trip transportation from your hotel, the crossing between the reception and the end point at the mountain refuge, and dinner at the refuge.

But you had better get your winter clothes ready, because you will need them. There are also professional photographers offering their services, which must be paid for separately.

The tip is to opt for waterproof clothing and shoes that will protect your feet, keeping them dry and warm.

If you wish, you can book the tour directly on the official website, avoiding surprises such as a lack of “space”.

But the ideal is always to choose the high season, in winter. During this time, the snow truly blankets the entire place and guarantees an incredible experience.

In the other seasons, especially when it rains, the place can get muddy. In addition, the scenery changes a little.

Special tip

There are several places that offer quad bike tours through the snow in Bariloche, and you can choose more than one.

For example, the Centro de Ski Nordico has 40-minute tour options that take place in the morning. In this format, no meals are included. So it is quite affordable for those who just want to get to know the region and ride through the scenery.

Nordic Night in Bariloche – Special travel tips

Bariloche is an incredible tourist city located in Argentina.

For that very reason, you do not need a visa or passport to travel there. You can enter with just a personal identification document.

Located 1600 km from Buenos Aires, the local currency is the Argentine peso. But the dollar is also very common and accepted, as is the real, especially in shops. However, to avoid high exchange rates, it is best to exchange money at reputable places.

And what about the language?

Unlike other places around the globe, Bariloche offers the advantage of language. Due to its proximity, you will find many people there speaking Portuguese.

That is precisely why Brazilians love visiting the region, since both shops and locals make it easy for tourists to be understood.

Of course, the local language is not Portuguese but Spanish; however, due to the volume of tourists, the area has adapted to Portuguese, making the whole experience easier, especially for asking questions.

Beyond the Nordic Night tour: what do Brazilians bring back most from Bariloche?

It is no secret that, when you travel, your suitcase can feel too small on the way back. Here it is no different.

With complete and incredible cuisine, the city leads many tourists to fill their bags with cheeses, chocolates, and smoked goods. Not to mention all the specialty products found in the region.

At the same time, rosehip creams and oils are quite traditional for their antioxidant effects. But there are also many handicraft shops.

In other words, plenty of options for gifts and souvenirs.

In short, be sure to explore the lodging options in the mountains and take in the winter atmosphere, with snow and incredible details from your window every time you wake up. Or choose spots close to what you want to see in the region.
