Why join an Unplugged?
Unplugged adventures are all about our reunion, seeing familiar faces while taking an intentional break from work to reconnect and reminisce about the wild days of the Tribe. It's a chance to keep in touch with old friends a few times a year and stay plugged into the community, even when we're no longer fully nomadic and able to join month-long Chapters. Living our daily lives together is beyond compare, now imagine us in vacation mode.
A holiday with old friends, are you in?
I just loved being able to get to know new Tribers, banding together and dancing, eating together, and exploring together. Learning how to ski can be hard, so there is nothing better to have others hold you accountable and cheer you on! :) - Triber, Elektra, reflecting on her latest ski week
Hang Out With New Friends in the Snow
Bariloche has several ski resorts, with Cerro Catedral being the most popular. The largest ski resort in South America, Cerro Catedral has over 120km of ski runs, modern lifts, and views so breathtaking they may interrupt your ski sesh. Mid-June to mid-October is the best time to go, so we're catching Bariloche for ski week at the perfect time!
1. Hit the Slopes
Cerro Catedral is our ski resort pick! A diverse terrain means there are plenty of skiing and snowboarding options for all levels (beginners welcome!). Advanced skiers can choose from cruisers, moguls or off-piste skiing.
2. Views, Views, and More Views
What makes Cerro Catedral so special is the heart-stopping views of the Nahuel Huapi and Gutiérrez lakes, and the Andes mountains. admire the scenery from the summit of the slopes or jump on the "Cable Carril" between ski sessions.
3. Go Out on the Town
Wander through the streets of the Bariloche town, explore the buildings and parks of Centro Historico, and say hi to the slobbering St Bernards around the town square.
4. Overdose on Indulgent Chocolate
Claim back the calories you burn on the slopes! Bariloche is renowned as the chocolate capital of Argentina, with countless stores offering handmade, artisanal chocolates. There's even a chocolate museum!

Perfectly located, our accommodation is roughly a 17-minute drive to the town of Bariloche and a 25-minute drive to Cerro Catedral.

Good to Know
The property manager will be staying on site, but in a separate cabin/apartment with its own entrance. He will help with maintenance, when needed. He is fluent in English and a good friend of one of our team members, Geni.
Uber is available in Bariloche itself, but ease of convenience, 2-3 mountain-friendly cars will be needed for this location. The accommodation sits atop a hill and is accessible only by a dirt road.
Even though the property is remote, there is good WiFi coverage throughout, but we encourage you to keep those laptops shut and stay Unplugged!

Unplugged adventures are about reuniting with old friends. It's a week-long intentional break from the day-to-day to disconnect from work and reconnect with the Tribe.
It's a chance for us to keep in touch with old friends a few times a year and stay plugged into the community, even when we're no longer fully nomadic and able to join month-long Chapters.
That's why, for these adventure weeks, we're looking for members who have joined Chapters before and intimately understand what being a Triber is all about.
We're a group that loves to ski and snowboard, members have self organized their own ski weeks with fellow Tribers, so we want to help take it a step further. There's magic to renting out an entire chalet for cozy community hangs and bonding over a shared passion with people with whom we already feel close.
Chapters have a focus on productivity with the expectation that everyone will log on to work Monday-Friday. Unplugged is a time to... well, unplug.
Set up an out of office message and take off days from work, these week-long adventures are a holiday as a Tribe. We won't be working during the week, instead all of our focus will be on the adventure and the intention of getting even closer by sharing an epic experience.
Since this is a chance to unplug from our daily work schedules, we aren't specifically sourcing accommodations for their wifi reliability and speeds. We also won't have the backup MiFi devices on the ground or other supportive tech gear.
During Unplugged adventures, our accommodations might have wifi but it's not a given!

For sure! Bariloche has a variety of activities that don't involve snow sports. You can explore the ski resort, hop in the Cable Carril, and admire the views.
Outside of the resort, you can hike the trails or visit the lakes (be sure to have correct hiking attire as September is peak winter). Gentle walks are also great options. The town of Bariloche also has plenty to do from dining in cosy cafes, taking the cable car to the peak of Cerro Otto, sipping on malbec or hot chocolate, or visiting the chocolate museum.
