A cold wind from the Beagle Channel cuts through your jacket as the bus climbs toward the winter center outside Ushuaia. Snow fields widen, lenga forest thins, and the guide cues the group: helmets on, brief instruction, then throttle. Whether under a pastel daytime sky or a bowl of stars, the White Experience stages short, focused encounters with snowmobiles, ATVs and snowshoe hikes—about 45 minutes at each activity—framed by raw subantarctic ridgelines and sweeping views toward the mountains.
