Coming to El Bolsón in the winter season was something I was very excited about. I had already spent two and a half months in this town during the summer, but I was still looking forward to seeing it in its cold weather. Our three-week trip in the motorhome was in the middle of July, right in the middle of the snow season in the south of Argentina. Luckily for us, there was already a considerable amount of snow accumulated in the mountains at that time, which allowed us to enjoy the whitish landscapes. One of the most beautiful walks we took was to the Carved Forest, on the way to Piltriquitrón Hill, which I found even more beautiful than in its summer season 😃.
Haber llegado a El Bolsón en la temporada de invierno era algo que me emocionaba mucho. Yo ya había pasado dos meses y medio en este pueblo durante el verano, pero todavía me quedaban ganas de verlo con su clima frío. Nuestro viaje de tres semanas en el motorhome fue en el medio de julio, justo en la temporada alta de nieve en el sur de Argentina. Para nuestra suerte, en ese momento ya había una cantidad de nieve considerable acumulada en las montañas, lo que nos permitió disfrutar de los paisajes blanquecinos. Uno de los paseos más lindos que hicimos fue hacia el Bosque Tallado, camino al Cerrro Piltriquitrón, que me pareció aún más hermoso que en su época veraniega 😃.
Cerro Piltriquitrón is the most beautiful mountain in El Bolsón and all its postcards are characteristic. You cannot leave this town without climbing it, no matter if it is the summit, its mountain refuge, the carved forest or even its paragliding take-off platform. This mountain is very accessible since you can reach this last place in a private vehicle, taking the precautions that a gravel road needs. It is worth doing the 14 km that separate this mountain from the village 🥰.
El Cerro Piltriquitrón es el más hermoso de El Bolsón y todas sus postales son características. No podés irte de este pueblo sin subir a él, sin importar si es la cumbre, su refugio de montaña, el bosque tallado o aunque sea su plataforma de despegue de parapentes. Esta montaña es muy accesible ya que se puede llegar hasta este último lugar en vehículo particular, teniendo las precauciones que un camino de ripio necesita. Vale la pena hacer los 14 km que separan a esta montaña del pueblo 🥰.
In the summer my friends from the hostel and I had done half of this trail on foot, and then climbed the remaining 5 km to the top of the mountain. Of course, at the beginning of the year the landscape was different, all clear and with just a little snow at the top. This time in July, snow and mud from the snowmelt were present, so it was quite difficult to walk up. To save us all the way up to the platform we hired a 4x4 vehicle service that for $14 each took us at noon and picked us up at dusk ❤️.
En el verano mis amigas del hostel y yo habíamos hecho la mitad de este camino a pie, para luego subir los 5 km restantes hasta la cumbre de la montaña. Por supuesto que a principio de año el paisaje era otro, todo despejado y con apenas un poco de nieve en la cima. Está vez en julio, la nieve y el barro del deshielo estaban presentes, así que era bastante difícil subir caminando. Para ahorrarnos todo el camino hasta la plataforma contratamos un servicio de vehículo 4x4 que por $14 cada uno nos llevó al mediodía y nos fue a buscar al anochecer ❤️.
If you wish to climb Cerro Piltriquitrón, starting from the paraglider launching platform, a one kilometer uphill path awaits you until you reach the carved forest. This road has a drop of about 200 meters, which can be a bit hard if your physical condition is not good. However, it is not impossible and worth a try, as the views along the way are also worth it 😊.
Si deseas subir al Cerro Piltriquitrón, partiendo desde la plataforma de despegue de parapentes, te espera un camino de un kilómetro cuesta arriba hasta llegar al bosque tallado. Este camino tiene un desnivel de unos 200 metros, lo que puede ser un poco duro si tu condición física no es buena. Sin embargo, no es imposible y vale la pena intentarlo, ya que las vistas en el camino también valen la pena 😊.
Doing this route quietly and stopping to take pictures can take a little less than an hour. In summer with the terrain all dry we climbed pretty fast, but this time the snow and mud complicated things a bit. Anyway, we all made it safely to the entrance of the carved forest 💕.
Hacer este recorrido de forma tranquila y parando para sacar fotos puede tomar un poco menos de una hora. En verano con el terreno todo seco subimos bastante rápido, pero está vez la nieve y el barro complicaban un poco las cosas. De todas formas, todos logramos llegar sanos y salvos a la entrada del bosque tallado 💕.
Those whose objective is to visit the mountain refuge or the summit of Piltriquitrón usually skip the visit to the carved forest: even this is what I did on my summer visit. As some of the carvings are visible from the outside I thought it would not be necessary to go in, but as this time the plan was shorter, I decided that I wanted to see all the carvings that this forest has to show ❣️.
Aquellos cuyo objetivo es visitar el refugio de montaña o la cima del Piltriquitrón suelen obviar la visita al bosque tallado: incluso esto es lo que yo hice en mi visita de verano. Cómo algunas esculturas se ven desde afuera pensé que no sería necesario entrar, pero como en esta oportunidad el plan era más corto, decidí que quería ver todas las esculturas que este bosque tiene para mostrar ❣️.
This forest, which they call an open-air museum, has more than 60 wooden sculptures carved by different artists from Argentina and also from some neighboring countries. Visiting the forest has a fee of $1.5, and walking the entire path with the sculptures can take a little more than half an hour. Out of my whole group of friends only one besides me wanted to see the forest, so we walked the whole trail together 😄.
Este bosque, al cual denominan como un museo a cielo abierto, cuenta con más de 60 esculturas de madera talladas por distintos artistas de Argentina y también de algunos países vecinos. Visitar el bosque tiene una tarifa de $1.5, y recorrer todo el sendero con las esculturas puede tomar un poco más de media hora. De todo mi grupo de amigos solo uno además de mí quiso ver el bosque, así que caminamos juntos todo el recorrido 😄.
While the forest is beautiful because every culture is special, in the winter season the place seemed magical. The combination of snow, wood and mountains was incredible. There were a lot of very nice sculptures, some figurative and some abstract, each one with its corresponding description and author's name. I was surprised to see that some of them were more than 20 years old but still kept in perfect condition 😊.
Si bien el bosque es hermoso porque cada cultura es especial, en la época invernal el lugar parecía mágico. La combinación de nieve, madera y montañas era increíble. Habían un montón de esculturas muy buenas, algunas figurativas y otras abstractas, cada una con su descripción correspondiente y nombre de autor. Me sorprendió ver que algunas de ellas tenían más de 20 años pero que igual se mantenían en perfecto estado 😊.
This is a walk designed for families with children, but I loved visiting it. Maybe in summer it would disappear because it is so camouflaged in the forest, but in this winter and with the snow it looked simply magical. I want to dedicate this post to my friend @numa26, who was interested in this place the day I visited it: I hope you like the rest of the photos ❤️.
Este es un paseo pensando para hacerse en familias con niños, pero a mí me encantó visitarlo. Puede que en verano pase desaparecido por estar tan camuflado en el bosque, pero en este invierno y con la nieve se veía simplemente mágico. Quiero dedicar esta publicación a mi amiga @numa26, quién se interesó por este lugar el día que lo visité: espero que te guste el resto de las fotos ❤️.
I was very pleased to have visited the forest surrounded by snow: when I decided not to enter in the summer, I did not know that I would have a second chance to see it in the winter. Walking among all those sculptures was amazing, and for the price we paid, the experience was more than good. Now, having seen a bit of this place in both seasons, I can say that my favorite is winter. I hope that if someday you walk around El Bolsón you won't miss this place, and I hope you like it as much as I do 💕.
Me gustó mucho haber visitado el bosque rodeado de nieve: cuando decidí no entrar en el verano, no sabía que iba a tener una segunda oportunidad de verlo en el invierno. Caminar entre todas esas esculturas fue algo increíble, y por el precio que pagamos, la experiencia fue más que buena. Ahora, habiendo visto un poco de este lugar en las dos estaciones, puedo decir que mi favorita es el invierno. Espero que si algún día andan de paseo por El Bolsón no se pierdan de este lugar, y ojalá les guste tanto como a mí 💕.

A beautiful mountain and landscape with nice sculptures I imagine the cold weather in the area.
Yes, it was very cold 💕
What amazing placer👀🔥
Glad that you liked it 💞
¿No se puede esquiar allí? Es impresionante todo el recorrido, sobre todo las vistas y como se impone la nieve a medida que vas subiendo.
El bosque tallado es una belleza, es una obra artística donde se combinan perfectamente los valores humanos y la naturaleza propia del espacio sin interrumpir su dominio. Me refiere a que la aprecia tal cual es. Debo decirlo, me encantaría visitar éste lugar.
Que bueno que te gustó :) En esta parte no se puede esquiar, pero si vas un poco más arriba en la montaña seguro si ❣️
It's very pleasant, the place is extraordinarily beautiful, I am very entertained to see it❤️
Thanks for stopping by 💕

Winter just ended here yesterday 😅.
El Bolsón is such a beautiful place that you can visit it at any time of the year, since it is a place with a lot to see, but without a doubt, in winter you see really beautiful snowy landscapes.
I had the opportunity to see most of the posts you published about this place and the photographs you share of the winter there are magical
I think that the next time you visit the place you have to go on a paragliding adventure and you will have achieved something wonderful
Without a doubt the carved forest is an open-air museum, you have taken beautiful shots of the sculptures emerging from the snow
Have a beautiful weekend dear friend @lauramica
Thank you very much Luis, I'm glad you liked this forest. It was really beautiful, I loved seeing it covered with snow ❤️.

It's really nice to have these creations from different artists in one place. Now Im curious behind the story of each carvings. Do they have descriptions attached to them?
Hello! :) Each of these sculptures had a name, the date of creation and the name of the author, nothing more than that :).
