What Activities Can You Do in Ushuaia in June?

Ice Skating

Starting in June, as snow covers Ushuaia, you can begin to enjoy this activity. The city has an outdoor artificial ice rink: the Yamana Patín Bar, a charming bar strategically located near Ushuaia Bay with incredible views of the snow-covered mountains of the Andes.

Trekking

Several trails remain open during the snow season. The most recommended route is the trek to Emerald Lagoon, which is frozen and covered in snow. Another option is the Martial Glacier, located 7 km from the city center.

For this activity, it’s essential to have warm, waterproof clothing and equipment like crampons or snowshoes, as trail conditions can vary with ice or deep snow. You can either rent equipment or book an organized excursion. Enjoy an unforgettable trekking experience in Ushuaia!

To visit the south, you’ll need warm clothing for the cold, frost, and snow. We recommend dressing in layers, with lighter, thinner layers close to the skin, like a long-sleeve thermal shirt, a fleece, and a snow jacket. It’s also essential to have warm, waterproof clothing, including boots, gloves, snow pants, a snow jacket, hat, and scarf.

If you don’t want to make big purchases, you can rent everything—from boots to gloves—at the rental shops in the city center.
