The mountains (from the plane)
Ushuaia is sourrounded by mountains, so climbing is a common sport activity (here is called andinismo); of course, you need a guide for this activity, and several companies guive the service. You can check the "Club Andino Ushuaia" web page for more information.
Ushuaia está rodeada de montañas, por lo que la escalad es una actividad habitual (aquí se llama andinismo); por supuesto, necesitan un guía para esta actividad, y varias compañías brindan este servicio. Pueden consultar la página web del "Club Andino Ushuaia" para más información.

Martial Glacier
Ushuaia has a long and snowy winter, so winter sports lovers find a paradise here. There are ski runs at Martial Mountains (quite close to the city), and Encerrada Bay freezes, so you can ice-skate there.
Ushuaia tiene un invierno largo y nevado, así que los amantes de los deportes de invierno encuentran un paraíso aquí. Hay pistas de esquí en la Cadena Montañosa Martial (muy cerca de la ciudad), y la Bahí Encerrada se congela, por lo que se puede patinar sobre el hielo allí.
Equipment: You need some skill and a lot of courage!
Necesitan un poco de destreza y un montón de valentía!
Directions: I took the picture during summertime, so I almost did not find snow; this is a part of the Martial Glacier.
Tomé la foto durante del verano, por lo que casi no encontré nieve; esta es una porción del Glaciar Martial.
Theme: Skiing/Snowboarding
Trekking path
Well, this sport activity is cheaper than the previous ones! Trekking is free, and Ushuaia has a lot of places where to hike (especially at Tierra del Fuego National Park and Martial Mountains).
The picture shows a trekking path close to Martial Glacier.
Bien, esta actividad deportiva es más barata que las dos anteriores! La caminata es gratuita, y Ushuaia tiene muchos lugares para explorar (especialmente el Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego y la cadena montañosa Martial).

Equipment: You will need good trekking boots (or similar shoes). Forget your stilettos!
necesitarán buenas botas de trekking (o zapatos similares). ¡Olvídense de los tacos aguja!
Theme: Hiking
Yachts
If you have a yacht (that is not my case!), you can sail here, because Ushuaia has a sporty dock (besides the commercial port). Many yachts can be seen at Ushuaia Bay, and there are many shipping lanes to the surrounding islands.
Si tienen un yate (¡que no es mi caso!), pueden navegar aquí, dado que Ushuaia tiene un muelle deportivo (además del puerto comercial). Muchos yates pueden verse en la Bahía de Ushuaia, y hay numerosas rutas náuticas hacia las islas circundantes.
Equipment: You just need a yacht!
¡Tan sólo necesitan un yate!
Address: Maipú Av. & Belgrano St.
Theme: Boating/Sailing
Kayaking at Beagle
Ushuaia is located at Beagle Canal, so it is a perfect place to water sports (although it is a little cold!) Kayaking is practising here in summertime.
Enlarge the picture to see the two men in their kayaks (it was raining a lot that morning!)
Ushuaia está situada sobre el Canal de Beagle, así que es el sitio perfecto para deportes acuáticos (aunque es un poquitito frío!); el kayak es practicado en verano.
Amplíen la foto para ver a los dos hombres en sus kayaks (llovía muchísimo aquella mañana!)
Directions: The isthmus situated between Ushuaia Bay and Encerrada Bay, 500 m from Maipú Avenue.
