BRC Airport Transfer | Bariloche Patagonia — Ski & Lakes

Bariloche Airport (IATA: BRC) is Patagonia's main gateway, handling domestic routes from Buenos Aires (AEP and EZE), Mendoza, and other Argentine cities. The airport is 15 kilometres east of Bariloche city on the Patagonian steppe — the city and Lake Nahuel Huapi come into view as you approach from the east. There is no public bus from the airport to the city. Taxis and remis are available but supply is limited during peak periods. A LocalsRide driver meets you inside the arrivals exit — essential for ski season arrivals (June–September) and summer high season (December–February) when on-demand transport is scarce.

Can I book luggage storage for ski equipment on a Bariloche transfer?

Yes — specify ski equipment (skis, snowboards, boot bags) in your booking notes when booking to Cerro Catedral or any Bariloche accommodation. Your driver will confirm adequate storage capacity. Minivan transfers are available for groups with large amounts of ski gear.
