Cerro Otto is a 1,405-metre peak five kilometres from central Bariloche, named after the German settler Otto Goedecke, who lived at its foot from 1892. The easiest way up is the cable car, which climbs over thick forest in about twelve minutes; there is also an eight-kilometre gravel road for walkers and cyclists. At the top a revolving café turns slowly through a full circle, so you see the city, Lakes Nahuel Huapi and Gutiérrez and the Andes without leaving your seat, and it houses a small art gallery. Around it are walking paths and play areas, and in winter snow covers the summit. The ticket covers the cable car up and down, the revolving café and gallery, and a free shuttle from the town centre to the base station. A clear morning gives the best view.
