Exploratory Ski-Mountaineering in Argentina
If you are interested in booking this itinerary please consult us to discuss the best dates.
This exploratory ski-touring expedition is an exciting itinerary that includes a crossing to the remote central part of the Southern Patagonian ice cap and ascents of a couple of easy peaks there. This is a very different and considerably more challenging itinerary than the very short 'Ice cap trail' packaged and offered by some other companies. In the middle of a 16,500 square kilometre ice cap at the other end of the world we will certainly be escaping from the crowds.
After flying to Rio Gallegos and travelling on to the Los Glaciares national park we will spend the first couple of days hiking to the bases of the famous mountains Cerro Torre and Fitzroy, enjoying the sunshine and soaking up some of the spectacular scenery. The mountain scenery in this part of the world is absolutely incredible.
We then begin the expedition in earnest crossing the Paso Marconi onto the main ice cap and skiing to the remote peak of Cerro Moreno 3505m which we will also attempt to climb. The total distance travelled on skis will be approximately 90km. After twelve days on the ice cap we leave by the Paso del Viento and return to Calafate for some well earned steaks and wine!
