The Martial Mountains rise just behind Ushuaia, providing a dramatic backdrop to the city and offering outdoor enthusiasts a range of activities. Hiking trails wind through forests and up to viewpoints that overlook the Beagle Channel and the city below. In winter, the Cerro Martial ski area offers slopes for skiing and snowboarding. The mountains are easily accessible from Ushuaia, making them a popular spot for both short walks and full-day hikes. The panoramic views from the higher trails are particularly rewarding, showcasing the unique landscape where the Andes meet the sea.
Don't miss
- Hike to the Martial Glacier viewpoint for sweeping views of Ushuaia and the Beagle Channel.
- Ride the chairlift up the mountain for a scenic ascent without the hike.
- In winter, ski or snowboard at the Cerro Martial ski resort.
