About this tour

Explore the most remote landscapes of El Chaltén with the trek to Loma de las Pizarras , a full-day mountain excursion that will take you to one of the most impressive natural viewpoints in the region.

The activity begins in El Chaltén, from where you will start your hike directly towards the mountain , without needing to transfer by vehicle. For the first few kilometers, you will walk along trails of moderate incline through a lenga forest , enjoying the characteristic natural environment of Patagonia.

As you gain altitude, the vegetation will begin to thin out, and the route will become a more demanding ascent over open terrain, loose stones, and slate slabs. This section features the steepest inclines of the entire hike and requires good physical fitness , prior mountain trekking experience , and confidence walking on uneven ground.

Your effort will be rewarded when you reach Loma de las Pizarras , at approximately 1,700 meters above sea level . From this natural viewpoint, you can contemplate panoramic views of the Fitz Roy massif, Cerro Torre, Laguna Torre, and the glaciers that surround this imposing Andean landscape. At the summit, you'll have time to rest, have lunch, and enjoy the surroundings before beginning your descent.

The return journey follows the same path back to El Chaltén.

Throughout the entire experience, you will be accompanied by a certified, bilingual mountain guide and provided with safety equipment and satellite communication . Furthermore, weather conditions are monitored before each outing, with particular attention paid to wind and high-altitude weather.

A challenging adventure for those who want to discover a less traveled side of El Chaltén and enjoy some of the best views in Patagonia.
